Pipeline Isolation: Mechanical method of Line Stopping

Do you want a specialist provider in Pipeline Isolation? Don't want to interrupt your  work while you want to join new connection in existing one? Then, Allied Pipe freezing Services has brought a solution for you. It's products are of world class. It provides facilities like pipe freezing, Hot Tapping which is also known as Under Pressure Drilling, Wall Tapping, Line stopping and Tank Tapping. Among all Pipeline Isolation is the mechanical method of obtaining positive pipeline.

Pipeline Isolation is a special technique of obtaining new connection in the existing pipeline. With the help of this system, it's not necessary to shut down the existing one. Isn't it great that you don't need to stop your present work to start a new one? Even though the maintenance work is being carried out, you can operate and start your new work.

Want to know about Shrink Fitting?

You too got confused by hearing this term, "Shrink Fitting", didn't you? When this term came in my mind's library I too was in dilemma and found myself in the threshold to find its meaning. As, I love searching new things just thought to share it with you all so that you get well acquainted with it. Its the traditional way of fitting a component into another either by the hit of the force method or by expanding the outer component of the shaft with heat.

First the end of the shaft in Shrink Fitting is immersed in the liquid Nitrogen cooling tank where it is allowed to cool down at a temperature of -196 °C. Then the shaft and inner component warms up expanding to form a tight distortion free interference fit where the sleeve is held in place with a retaining bolt.

Both these methods have disadvantages in that the former can lead to mechanical damage between the two faces and the latter can cause local damage or stress due to uneven or poor heating procedures, as well as the practicalities of heating large frames or housings. As these were traditional methods, there are some disadvantages with them.
