Abstract

A system (e.g., an oil and/or gas production system) including a filter assembly for separating particulate materials from wellbore fluid. The filter assembly includes a flow cross and a flow bore deflector. The flow cross includes a flow block, a first passage formed in the flow block, and a second passage formed in the flow block. The first and second passages intersect. The flow bore deflector comprises a cap, an extension rod, and a deflector element. The deflector element extends at the intersection between the first and second passages to separate the particulate materials from the wellbore fluid.
