Line Stop Procedures for Different Pipeline Systems

Pipeline maintenance without service interruption is a major issue in the oil and gas sector, water supply, and chemical processing, making line stop procedures for different pipeline systems an essential solution. Line stopping (also known as flow stopping) allows engineers…

Types of Hot Tapping Methods and Their Uses

Hot Tapping Hot tapping, also called pressure tapping or live tapping, creates a new branch connection on a pressurized pipeline, tank, or pressure vessel without shutting down or depressurizing the system. A fitting (often a welded split-tee or mechanical sleeve)…

Hot Tapping Procedure: How It Works

Hot tapping is a process used to create connections on live pipelines without shutting down the system. It is widely used in oil, gas and industrial applications. It is a specialized engineering process enabling a branch connection to be made…

What Is Hydraulic Power Unit & How Does It Work?

A hydraulic power unit (HPU) is the engine of hydraulic systems nowadays. Compact, rugged, and self-contained, these units provide the required flow and pressure to drive motors, cylinders, and actuators in many industries. HPUs find application in material handling and…
