1 Introduction
1.1 Range of application
The Micromag HP/50NPT follows on from the standard Micromag family and has all the same
incredible benets. The unit was developed to suit high pressure/temperature applications.
Micromag HP/50NPT can be installed anywhere in the uid delivery system and can remove
sub-micron magnetic and para-magnetic particles.
For further information relating to the standard benets and operation please refer to the
downloadable Micromag brochure on our website – www.eclipsemagnetics.com/na in
the ‘Magnetic Filtration’section.
The lter is not to be used with a corrosive or aggressive medium unless it is specied at the
time of order and the vessel is supplied with a suitable barrier coating i.e. PTFE.
Pressure rating – Standard lter is designed and tested to operate at 725 psi (50 bar) max.
line pressure.

3 Design and method of operation
3.1 Method of operation
The single magnetic core is integrated in an aluminium housing and forms one unit e.g. tted
in series with the pipe-line.
The ow is arranged in such a manner that the material that is to be cleaned is well
distributed and comes intimately into contact with the magnetic eld.
3.2 Construction
• All aluminium construction with optional internal coatings
• Viton‘O’ ring lid seals
• High intensity magnetic core
4 Safety
4.1 Intended use
The inline liquid lter is designed for installation into pressurised pipe lines working at up to
725 psi (50 bar). All pipeline connections are to be installed accurately and sealed to prevent
the loss of pressure/uid.
The lid seal is to be maintained in a good condition.
To ensure that the supplied magnets maintain their high level of performance, attention
must be paid to the following conditions:
1. NO temperatures above the specific operating temperature
2. NO oscillating vibrations
3. NO impacts
4. NO strong external magnetic flux fields
5. Pay attention to the cleaning and maintenance of the system
4.2 General preventive measures
The core is constructed with strong magnets. The handling of ferrous tools (e.g. with
maintenance or cleaning) etc. can cause risk of injury for the personnel due to the magnetic
attraction. Special measures regarding the presence of ferrous items have to be considered
when handling magnetic material.
4.3 Dangers of not adhering to safety notes
Using this equipment in a manner not intended can be hazardous.
4.4 Safety notes for operation and maintenance
Maintenance work is to be executed only by technical personnel. With work on pneumatic,
hydraulic, pressurised or electrical services, the supply lines are to be isolated prior to any
cleaning or maintenance actions.
Prior to any maintenance work being carried out, the process, equipment used and personnel
must be risk assessed and deemed suitable to conduct that task. All work is to be carried out
in accordance with local and legislative regulations.

WARNING! This system incorporates strong permanent magnetic materials.
Please pay attention to the safety notes in order to avoid personal injury or
material damage:
• Operators tted with a heart pace-maker shall not come within 1m of the equipment
• Oppositional poles of magnets attract each other with high clamping forces
• Do not use steel/iron tools or other ferrous parts in the ux eld of the system
• Data carriers, credit cards, computer drives etc. can be erased by the inuence of the
magnetic eld
• Keep electronic and sensitive mechanical units (for example, watches) away from the
magnet
• Please contact our service department before welding or drilling works on the unit
4.5 Notes on residual risks
Vent any trapped pressure from the equipment prior to working on the unit.
4.6 Consequences with arbitrary change
With arbitrary change or repairs all warranties and assertions delivered by the manufacturer
become void.
Only genuine o.e.m. parts are to be used in any repair to maintain the manufacturer’s
warranty.
4.7 Prohibited operation
• The unit must not be subjected to any high external loads or induced vibrations
5 Installation and use
5.1 Mechanical installation
For optimum performance the unit is to be installed as follows:
Before installation ensure that all supplies are isolated.
Micromag HP/50NPT is to be installed vertically with the bowl pointing upwards, this allows
uid to drain out of the bowl and into the line prior to cleaning.
Micromag can be installed anywhere in the uid ow line, pre- or post-pump to suit the
application, using the threaded ports supplied.
If the Micromag is to be installed using exible hoses, please ensure the unit is suitably
supported using the bracket holes supplied on the lid.
The lid is engraved near its ports with ‘inlet’ and‘outlet’ please ensure these directions are
followed for correct performance.
For ease of installation remove the lid from the bowl.
If the system is subject to pressure surges install a pressure regulator set at 725 psi (50 bar)
prior to the Micromag HP/50NPT.
• Seal mating piping joints eectively to reduce pressure/product loss
• Erect signage in the close proximity warning of hazards presented by permanent mag-
nets, i.e. pace-makers and the dangers of opening the magnet housing whilst product is
owing
• Install in location with adequate free space to withdraw magnet cartridge from vessel for
cleaning
• Consider manual handling regulations when deciding installation location
5.2 Connections
No external power sources required for this product
5.3 Setting of the operating parameter
No customer adjustment available to this unit
5.4 Cleaning

1110
If operated and cleaned correctly your Micromag HP/50NPT will give many years of trouble
free ltration with no consumable parts. The lter will remove even the smallest particle due
to its high magnetic eld strength. Cleaning should take no more
than a few minutes.
• Turn o the uid ow
• Isolate and relieve any line pressure
• Release the bowl using the spanner supplied
• Take the magnetic core out of the housing and move away to a
suitable cleaning area. Insert the cleaning post into the opposite
end of the core to the slots and using the cleaning tool wipe the contamination clear
away from the slots over the post
• Re-assemble the magnet core into the body and re-t the body
• Check the condition of the lid seal and replace if damaged. Turn on the material ow.
After each clean the housing should be wiped over to avoid the build up of excessive
dirt/dust
Do not use corrosive substances to clean the equipment
6 Maintenance
6.1 General notes
• Keep the system clean, especially the magnetic cores
• Regular check of the seal for defects
• Regular check of the housing and the magnetic core surface for wear
• Do not clean with aggressive cleaner!

8 Shipping, preservation, waste disposal,
transport, storage
8.1 Shipping, preservation, waste disposal
1. Suitable packaging should be selected according to the mode of
transport (road/air/sea). The goods should be packed in such a way that
under normal transport conditions no damage to the contents occurs.
2. National road freight should be packed in strengthened cardboard
according to the size, weight and condition of the goods with air
cushioning/shredded paper lling. Warning labels should be axed to the
outside of the package e.g. ‘Caution! High energy magnet. Do not throw.˝
The package should be secured with tape and for packages over 50kg /
110lbs additional banding should be used.
2a. International road freight should be packed as national road freight. For
larger/heavier packages wooden boxes should be used.
2b. International air freight should be packed accordingly in wooden boxes.
When sending by air it is essential that the maximum magnetic eld
strength value of the goods is not exceeded (IATA Dangerous Medium
Prescript ˝Cap. 3.9.1.1 Magnetised Material˝; ICAO Instructions ˝Packing
Instruction 902˝). Permanent Magnets, where possible, should have
keeper bars installed. Powerful magnetic components and assemblies
need to be shielded so that magnetic elds will meet air shipment criteria.
Any corrosion susceptible components should be protected with oiled
paper, plastic lm or anti-corrosion spray.
2c. Sea freight should be packed in seaworthy export crates. The size of the
crates should accurately relate to the volume of the goods. The crates
should be lined with seawater and corrosion resistant oiled paper.
Additional protection of the goods should be provided by an anti-
corrosion spray or protective plastic lm.
To prevent movement within the crate the goods can be secured with wooden
slats and additional screws.
The crates should be nailed/bolted together and can be additionally secured
with safety tape.
It should be guaranteed that the packages are correctly and securely
stowed. Details of the loading can be found on the waybill which should
be provided by the carrier.
3. Waste disposal: Observe national waste disposal regulations.
