Hot Tapping allows operators to create a new connection or access point on a live, pressurized pipeline without interrupting flow, these machines operable up to 1480 PSI (102 bar) and 392°F (200°C), are designed for water, gas, and petrochemical pipelines, with marinized options for subsea use. The process leverages their helical gear drive, rotary pressure seals, and four fixed feed rates to ensure precision and safety under diverse conditions.
• Enables pipeline modifications without interrupting flow, avoiding production losses.
• These machines are easy to transport and deploy by one or two operators, even in confined or remote locations.
• The patented helical gear drive, positioned close to the cutting head, ensures efficient torque transfer, reducing vibration and wear while delivering smooth, precise cuts this minimizes operator effort and ensures accurate tap sizing.
• Operates safely at up to 1480 PSI (102 bar) and 392°F (200°C), making it suitable for a wide range of live systems without compromising integrity.
• Handles hot taps, bypass lines, and completion plugs from ½" to 6" with marinized versions available for subsea use.
• Eliminates expenses tied to shutdowns, purging, and restarting systems, rigless operation reduces intervention costs for full workovers.
• Built to withstand harsh field environments, the machines’ robust design ensures reliability under pressure and temperature extremes, minimizing downtime due to equipment failure.
• Offers manual rotation for precision control, adapting to operator preference or job urgency.
• Rotary pressure seals and a stable cutting mechanism minimize leak risks during live operations. The lightweight design reduces physical strain.
• With stroke lengths of 18" and 32" these machines accommodate thicker fittings or deeper penetrations, offering flexibility beyond shorter-stroke competitors.
