Compact Plug Diameter Allows Insertion Through Small Hot (Live) Tap
Launch cylinder with inflation ram and packing seal allows
insertion of Petersen® Plugs into pressurized pipeline.
Typically used for plugging of pipelines through a hot tap in the
side of the pipe or through a valve on the end of a pipe. A variety
of Petersen® Multi-Flex™ plugs are available for most chemical,
pressure, and temperature requirements. A 36" plug as an example
may be installed through an 8" Tap with the pipeline pressurized.
Plug Launch Cylinder System
The Launch Cylinder and Inflation Ram is used for positioning
and inflating the plug. Configurations are available to allow
removal of the Launch Cylinder and Inflation Ram after inflation. |
Plug Launch Cylinder
The plug may be inserted into the Launch Cylinder before
or after it is attached to a tapping valve.
Packing Gland
The packing gland provides a seal that allows the inflation ram to push the plug into position. |
Inflation Ram
The plug is pushed into position with the Inflation Ram
after opening the valve and equalizing the pressure in the
Launch Tube. An in-line swivel on the end of the Ram allows the
plug to navigate the bend. Very large plugs may require a
winch to pull the handle and plug into position. |

|
Directional
Shoe and Bow Stiffener
The Directional Shoe accessory on the plug helps guide the plug
in the desired direction into the pipeline. There is also an internal
Bow Stiffener to act as a spring bending the plug into the pipeline.
In-Line Swivel
The in-line swivel provides a flexible connection between the inflation ram and plug.

**Inflatable Plug Warning: Maximum head pressures that a pipe plug may hold back can only be estimated. Pressures are influenced by many factors including fluid in the pipe, coefficient of pipeline friction, pressure required to inflate the plug, and the length of the inflated plug. Generally, an inflatable plug inserted fully into pipeline will begin slipping between 50% and 80% of the inflation pressure, but even 50% may be high with some liquids. The inflation pressure is also subject to temperature change and debris or protrusions in the pipeline that could rupture the plug. The inflation pressure must be monitored and plugs anchored and/or mechanically blocked when slippage may cause property damage or injury. NEVER use a test pressure greater than the capacity of the weakest pipe or component in the system.
