Oil & Gas

The Oil and Gas industry, both above and below ground, offer some unique challenges for permanent magnet designs, especially in Downhole applications, where the combination of temperature and corrosion tends to dominate. Here MSS have been able to provide many solutions where SmCo (in some cases High Temp NdFeB) as offered designers of Drilling Tools the ability to solve many problems, such as Sensors, Bearings, Seals, Torque Drives, Couplings, Fishing Tools and Well bore Cleaning Tools.
Above ground, robustness is a key feature and MSS have been producing Mud Cleaning Devices for many years, these include Ditch Magnets and, Tube Separators.
Pipeline Inspection Tools also require many magnets, not only for collection of Ferrous Contamination used in Pigs but also for Sensing, Tracking, MFL and NDT testing. Other applications solved in the Oil & Gas Industry are Switchable Lifting Magnets, Specialist Holding Devices and VCM for Gas Valves.
