Magnetite particles can cause huge problems within a sampling system by jamming
and plugging components. The Sentry® MT-1 magnetic trap isolates magnetite
particulates to protect sample conditioning and analytical instruments from critical
downtime and costly repairs. The magnetic trap uses high strength neodymium
magnets in its core to attract and capture the magnetite before it can cause damage,
protecting Sentry VREL® control valves, flowmeters and analyzers.
To meet varying power plant needs, the magnetic trap is available in low- to highpressure models, as stand-alone traps as well as complete valve assemblies.
MODELS
MT-1 low-pressure model (with mounting bracket)
MT-1V low-pressure model (with valve assembly)
BENEFITS
While conventional filters trap all particulates and choke off sample flow as the
filtering media becomes plugged with contaminants, the Sentry MT-5 magnetic trap
captures only entrained oxide particulate and lets the remaining particulates pass,
protecting conditioning equipment while maintaining sample integrity.
FEATURES
Designed specifically for the extreme
conditions of power plants

NEVER plugs

Single-stroke actuator and purge-inplace requires no tools or disassembly
and prevents the introduction of O2
into the sample stream

Spring-return air bleed bleeds any
trapped air at start-up

Available as a stand-alone trap or as a
complete assembly with all necessary
components

Large 8.8 in² (57 cm²) magnetic surface
area captures over 60 g of magnetic
particulate when operated within EPRI
guidelines

Hydrotested for simple field retrofit or
new panel installation
