Vent Plug Type Leak Clamp Manufacturer and Supplier

We are manufacturer, Exporter and Supplier of Vent Plug Type Leak Clamp are an essential part of our suite of pipeline integrity products. Available in a wide variety of sizes, ratings and arrangements, the clamp product line can be supplied independently or as an add-on to larger repair systems.

What is Vent Plug Type Leak Clamp ?

The sealing arrangement provides full containment around the damaged section of pipe (leak sealing only). If required, we can design the clamp to have a gripping section to provide a fully permanent structural repair that can be DNV-GL Product Certified.

Suitable for onshore, topside, diver installed or deepwater remote repair, our engineered MORGRIP clamps provide an increased lev-el of safety and reassurance when repairing critical pipelines or being stored as part of an emergency pipeline repair system or contingency plan.

Our clamps are application specific and designed, forged and fabricated to the exact requirements of the operator and repair location. This bespoke service ensures a fully configurable solution of the highest quality.

Description

Remarks

1.

The fittings shall be    inspected   at vendor’s works and raw material at the pipe/plate supplier’s mill/outside laboratory          of repute.

1.       Chemical composition and Mechanical properties shall be checked for base metal as per relevant material standards and this specification, for each heat of steel/materials a drawing of sample & testing shall be witnessed by TPI (Third party Inspection) and/or Owner.

2.       Chemical composition and Mechanical properties shall be checked for fasteners and sea ling material (BUNA-N) as per relevant material standards and this specification.

3.       If required, chemical composition and mechanical properties may be veri fied/rechecked at third party lab and shall be witnessed by owner and/or TPI. All incidental costs shall be borne by supplier.

4.       Tensile, yield, elongation, chemical composition & Hardness value to meet the material specification.

5.       Plates  used  for  fittings  shall  be   ultrasonically examined for   lamination   in accordance with ISO12094. Acceptance level B1 for the body, and E1 for the longitudinal edges. Vendor shall arrange test arrangements.

6.       When fittings of size >18″ NB are manufactured, the fitting of each diameter and wall thickness shall be ultrasonically checked for sufficient wall thickness in areas where minimum wall thickness is expected.
