🔍 Key Concepts

• Flow path through the strainer discs as shown by the arrows in the illustration • How solids are trapped relative to the spacing between the discs • The purpose of the T‑handle and scraper assembly in cleaning the discs

💭 Think About

• Trace the arrows in the diagram and decide whether clogging the outside of the discs would make it easier or harder for liquid to pass through • Think about how many turns of the T‑handle would realistically be needed to scrape and move all the way around a full stack of discs • Consider what would happen to particles that are larger than the gap between discs: can they physically pass through those gaps into the inner space? • Ask yourself whether it is more important for these parts to be magnetic or non‑magnetic near precision reduction gears and why

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify from the illustration whether flow area increases or decreases as sludge builds up on the disc edges • Check whether the design of the scraper and discs suggests multiple turns or just a single turn for full cleaning • Confirm the relationship between particle size and disc spacing: larger than the gap vs. smaller than the gap • Decide whether having magnetic discs, spacers, and scrapers would help remove metal or risk holding it in the strainer/gear system

Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following statements is true concerning the illustrated metal edge strainer? See illustration MO-0057.

As sludge and dirt accumulate on the outer surface of the strainer discs, the effective flow through the strainer increases.

One turn of the T-handle is sufficient for cleaning the discs.

Particles of solid matter larger than the distances between the discs flow up through the inner space.

The strainer discs, spacers, and scraper blades are magnetic to prevent small metal particles from damaging the reduction gear.
