Applications of pressure-opening in the chemical industry
Thread Content
Previously, our factory didn’t have pressure-hole drilling machines, and few people performed pressure-hole drilling. Since the maintenance team purchased pressure-hole drilling equipment, such drilling has been carried out continuously. Does your company have any instances of opening pipes under pressure, and are there many such cases? What other risks are associated with making openings under pressure?
Are there any relevant tutorials? Opening under pressure – I’d like to know more~~~
Pressurized hole-opening machines are quite common; we have them in our factory as well. It is generally used to address pipe leaks, clear blockages, and install temporary pipelines. :lol
There are various technical improvement pipelines, but they are mainly aimed at the water treatment lines; having this facility does indeed make things easier.
We are a petrochemical company, and the situation is quite complex. Opening holes under pressure requires dealing with various situations. There are catalyst pipelines at six to seven hundred degrees, heavy oil pipelines at three to four hundred degrees, medium-pressure steam pipelines, as well as circulating water pipelines; performing hole drilling under pressure is indeed a useful technique.
Can it work at high temperatures too? I asked, and it was said that the O-ring can’t withstand high temperatures.
This is our oil production area; if this guy had been around in the past, the people working at the oil field would have probably cried
Professional leak-sealing equipment can also handle high temperatures. There are also various types of pressure-hole opening machines; one that can withstand high temperatures will do. There are also many considerations when it comes to drill bits with holes; ordinary ones are not capable of drilling through 304 material.
It seems that the equipment maintenance in our factory is quite limited in scope
Large companies have their own tools for making openings under pressure; we have also carried out such operations, but it was for water lines. Isn’t it very dangerous to use such tools for material lines? Ethylene, propylene materials
