Freeze Pipe without Shutting It Down

Have you guys ever seen work of pipes being carried out without the loss of flow? Yes! I am talking about pipe work being carried out without loss of water and that also without the loss of single bucket of water. As, you guys must have seen that whenever plumbing work is carried out by any technician some level of water is flowed away.

But to your surprise Allied Pipe Freezing has brought new technique of freezing the pipe. By freezing pipe you are able to do your work without any disruption. What’s more surprising is that you do not need to shutdown other pipes running across it. Isn’t this great? You can do two to three works at a time and that also without any disruption and shutting down of work. Not only freezing pipe saves your time buy also your energy too.

With the help of freezing pipe, the technician does not need to put much effort because this technique itself helps to absorb the heat coming out from the pipe and its content. The ambient temperature helps it to cool to liquid nitrogen temperature. Though this technique is great in today’s competitive world which not only helps to save your time but also your energy the freeze process time varies, depending on the size of pipe and its contents. But today it has proved to be cost and time effective both.

Shrink Fitting – Meant to deliver great benefiting to manufacturing industry

Have you come across a situation where you wish to join two components together? There are different methods and techniques available in the industry but the success depends on the longevity of that joint. Recently I come to know about a highly effective technique known as Shrink Fitting. This technique is highly effective in conditions where an interference fit is required. This innovative method has replaced the conventional method of fitting a component into another by force lift method or to expand the outer component with heat. All of us know that there were several issues with conventional methods. For example, Force lift method can lead to mechanical damage between the two faces whereas the latter one can cause local damage or stress due to improper or poor heating procedures.

Shrink fitting is supposed to be a feasible alternative to applications where fitting is done by heating the outer components or force fitting. With Liquid Nitrogen shrink fitting the required clearance is obtained by shrinking the inner component (instead of expanding the outer one). This is done by immersing the inner component in a bath of Liquid Nitrogen at a temperature of -196C. After assembly the inner component warms up, expanding to form a tight distortion free interference fit.
