Hottap machines

Making connections without shut-down

Tapping machines are used for making connections to pipelines, tanks, and plant piping without shut-down and are used to make hot taps in preparation for plugging machine application.

Tapping Machines

  • We can design specifically for your requirements.
  • All Models are designed for operation upto 100 bar (1470psi) and 200 C.
  • They are able to cut up to 3″ wall thickness mild steel.
  • They are able to cut stainless steel, API Gr.B and API 5L X80 and concrete.
  • They are capable of installing LOR and flow through plugs.
  • Our machines are compatible with TD Williamson or Furmanite equipment.
  • Machines have powered feed for cutting that is proportional to the spindle rpm and rapid travel.

Description

The Models 1000 Drilling Machine are available in Three versions: 1018 with 18” of travel, 1028 with 28″ and the 1032 Model with 32” of travel. However we also manufacture PTM-1000 serie for more strokes (20″ or 24″) under special requirement. They meets NACE Standard and CE, sulphide stress cracking resistant metallic material for oilfield equipment. The maximum working pressure is 1,480 psi (100 bar) at 100°F (38°C). Its operating temperatures are -20°F (-29°C) to 700°F (371°C) at 700 psi (48 bar) for intermittent service. The maximum continuous rating is 350°F (177°C) at 1,025 psi (70 bar).

For special requirements, such as higher pressure or temperature, consult the factory.
