High-Pressure Plugs- Installation and Application in Pipework System
High-pressure pipe plugs are constructed mostly of a metal body linked to additionally strengthened rubber. These pipe plugs are mechanical devices used to seal and plug the end of a pipe, allowing for hydrostatic testing and pressure barrier isolation.
High-pressure pipe plugs isolate piping systems during testing, maintenance, and repair. High-pressure pipe plugs can be used to test piping systems while they are being built and to bypass problematic piping portions. Before putting piping systems into service, these high-pressure plugs can be used to ensure they are leak-tight. They also test each pipe connection individually, including welds, couplings, mechanical joints, and gaskets.
Usage of High Pressure
- Pipe plugs, known as high-pressure Test plugs, are offered commercially by PlugCo. Their use size ranges from 100 mm to 2000 mm, and they are available for such purposes. These pipe plugs are generally employed in high-pressure applications where ordinary inflating rubber plugs cannot hold.
- Up to 30″ Class 1500 standard high-pressure plugs are readily available for worldwide shipping with pressure test results. Additionally, we create, produce, and test products up to Class 2500 per client request. For larger pipe sizes, they can be specifically constructed to fit the purpose, with the choice of hydraulic or mechanical actuation.
- A line of Pipe plugs known as high-pressure Test plugs is offered commercially by Wellube. These pipe plugs are generally used in high-pressure applications where ordinary inflating rubber plugs cannot hold.
Application of High Pressure Plugs
High-pressure pipe plugs are meant to resist high pressures without rupturing or leaking and are typically constructed of a sturdy stainless steel body encircled by an inflatable rubber bladder. They are frequently employed in specialised settings, including desalination plants. Safe pipework isolations are made possible by the Grip-lock and Posi-seal TM technologies.
High-Pressure Plugs are frequently used during piping and process equipment maintenance and modification, including hydrostatic pressure testing without requiring flanges or blind flanges. They can help you save time, resources, and labour.
What are the correct procedures for installing high-pressure plugs?
An instruction manual for installing high-pressure Pipe Plugs is provided below:
- Ensure the pipeline is clear of all pollutants, sharp items, and debris. By doing this, you can be confident that the Pipe Plug will correctly seal and not sustain any harm.
- Insert the Pipe Plug into the pipeline slowly and with care. To avoid harming the plug or the pipeline, insert it straight, not at an angle.
- The size of the Pipe Plug you require for your pipeline should be determined. You can achieve this by determining the pipe’s inner diameter.
- After releasing the pressure in the pipeline, remove the Pipe Plug once the task is over. To avoid harming the pipeline, carefully remove the stopper.
- To prevent the Pipe Plug from sliding, install the support. Verify that the plug is securely held in place by the brace.
- Execute the scheduled maintenance or repairs.
- Inflate the Pipe Plug to the Wellube-approved maximum inflation pressure.
Following these instructions, you can ensure that high pressure Pipe Plugs are put correctly and that your pipeline is secure. It’s crucial to remember that it’s always preferable to be safe than sorry regarding pipeline safety.
