What Types of Pipelines Can Be Used for Hot Tapping?

Hot tapping can be applied to various steel and polyethylene (PE) pipelines, depending on the pipe material, wall thickness, operating pressure, temperature, conveyed medium, and connection design. TTCL supplies hot tapping equipment for selected steel and PE pipeline applications. Please provide your pipeline specifications so we can evaluate the appropriate hot tapping solution.

What Are the Main Benefits of Hot Tapping?

Hot tapping can allow new pipeline connections to be installed without shutting down the entire pipeline, subject to project conditions and engineering approval. The benefits of hot tapping may include reduced downtime, less service disruption, lower operating losses, and greater flexibility for pipeline expansion and maintenance.
