Abstract: An apparatus for entrapping magnetic material comprising a magnetic sub-assembly and a retention trap removably attached thereto. The retention trap having an entrapment surface such that magnetic material drawn into the trap as a result of the magnetic influence of the magnetic sub-assembly, is magnetically held and mechanically trapped within said entrapment surface.
Abstract: A pipeline magnetic separator (10) having a magnet 20 including a length (24) that is to extend transverse of the separator chamber (19) to collect metal from flow passing in the direction (13) through the separator (10). The end surface (26) of the magnet (20) is hemispherical and is transverse of a longitudinal axis (33) of the magnet (20). Upstream of the magnet (20) is a flow diverter (25, 29).
