English translation:[to] trap
Explanation:
From the little context given here, I imagine the tool (herramienta) here is probably a "pig" or "scraper" that's used to clean rust and debris from pipelines. "Trampa" is often the word used in Mexico for a "trap" in pipes or tubing, and I would assume that "entrampar" is being used here as the verb "to trap."

Explanation:
To frame as "entrampar" in fact is for cases in which a person is trapped by some kind of devious activity. But in this case, I have my doubts.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you Adela. This being a very technial Engineering subject, I am 100% sure that the word does not have it's literal meaning here. The Oil and Gas industry has some totally unconventional meanings for its descriptions. I appreciate your help though!
