Hot tapping (under pressure drilling) enables tapping points to be installed into pressurised pipes without the need for isolation and without any disruption to the operation of the plant or process.
Hot Tapping Services
Flowcheck is equipped to hot tap virtually any size of pipe and can install tapping points up to 2″BSP.
We hold a wide stock of hot tapping spares and this enables our engineers to respond quickly to requests for pipe tapping services.
Typical applications for hot tapping:
- Sample points
- Chemical dosing injection lances
- Pressure and temperature measurement points
- Drain valves
- Air release valves
- Flushing points
To prevent cross contamination we keep the drilling rigs used on potable water applications separate from those used on other liquids.
