Abstract
A pipeline strainer having a body with a straining element therein. One or more magnets are removably inserted into the straining element and configured to be removed from the body without causing liquid within the cavity to drain from the pipeline strainer. A drywell is used to house the magnets. The movement of withdrawing the magnets pulls metal particles along the outer surface of the drywell toward a debris drain. A baffle is disposed at the end of the drywell that is adjacent or near the debris drain to reduce turbulence from the fluid flow within the pipeline strainer.
