Using Hot Tapping to repair pipelines in Service

Hot Tapping or pressure tapping is the latest technique used to make a connection to existing piping or pressure vessels without the interruption of emptying that section of pipe or vessel. This has made it easy to carry on the work of maintenance while the pipeline can work effectively as before.

Earlier for a minor repair or maintenance work whole line of supplying  natural gas or petroleum, which now has been simplified where a hole or by a division the pipeline which is to be maintained gets diverted. Shutting down a complete portion for this has disturbed many industries and household. With this alternative being popular and widely available the industries in these sectors have inhaled a fresh breath and have undergone smooth processing for their regular maintenance. The hot tap procedure goes by attaching a branch connection and valve outside an operating pipeline, and then cutting out the pipe-line wall within the branch and removing the wall section through the valve. Hot tapping Services avoids loss of crucial product transmission, methane emissions, and disruption of service to customers.
