HOTTAP - LINE STOP
H
ot tapping refers to the installation of connections and associated fittings to pipelines while they remain in service and or under pressure, minimising the impact on and the potential costly requirement to shut down existing services.
Hot tapping is generally used to repair areas that have suffered damage or corrosion, or to add fittings for system modifications.
This means that a pipe or tank can continue to be in operation whilst maintenance or modifications are being done to it. The process is also used to drain off pressurized casing fluids,add test points or various sensors such as temperature and pressure. Hot taps can range from a ½ inch hole designed for something as simple as quality control testing, up to a 48 inch tap for the installation of a variety of ports, valves, t-sections or other pipes.
Hot tapping is also the first procedure in line stopping, where a hole saw is used to make an opening in the pipe, so a line plugging head can be inserted.
PT.BIRAWA is able to provide the welding of fittings to pressurised pipelines of various diameters and operation pressures to various welding specifications.
PT.BIRAWA also provide Hot Tap range from 2 inch up to 32 inch.
