Hot Tapping pipeline Services
Overview
Hot tapping services are a precise technique that is used to create branch connections on active pipelines without interrupting their operation. This technique is crucial for pipeline modification, repair, or expansion. Hot tapping has economic and environmental advantages, including eliminating shutdowns, reducing emissions, and service disruptions.
It’s commonly seen in industries of oil & gas, water, and process pipelines. Our team assures safe delivery in high-pressure and temperature situations. Hot tapping services also enable system upgrades without interrupting Pipeline Parameters . For each operation, we adhere to strict safety guidelines and international standards.

FAQs
What is the objective of hot tapping?
The objective of a hot tapping pipeline system is to take a branch out off a live pipeline without interrupting the pipeline parameters and allowing for necessary changes.
How is hot tapping and cold tapping different?
Hot tapping is the method by which pipeline modification can be done without interrupting the pipeline parameters as cold tapping is done on a shutdown pipeline
What materials can be hot tapped?
Some of the common materials that are applicable in our hot tapping machine are carbon steel, stainless steel, ductile iron, and asbestos cement.
What pressure and temperature can Hot tapping operation can be performed?
PTS Performs Hot tapping operations from temperatures of -20 Deg Celsius to +300 deg Celsius and pressures up to 1480 PSI (100 Bar )
