Application of HDPE Spools
Instrument Hook-ups
They are used to connect the pressure gauges, transmitters, switches, and the other devices directly to the pipe, creating a stable, pre-tested mounting point.
Flow and Temperature Measurement
They are the facilitate to the insertion of flow meters and thermo-well sensors into the process stream.
Sample Points and Drains
They are commonly utilized for the sampling products from the line or creating the drain points in the piping system.
Hot Tapping (Live Operations)
In industries like oil & gas, these spools are used to during hot tapping and a process of drilling into an pipe while it is still under pressure by providing a mounting base for the hot tap valve and equipment.
Pressure Testing
These components are the often to utilized in pipeline pressure testing to verify the integrity of the connection.
