Objectives
The aim of this project is to assess Pyplok technology to establish its suitability for the application of an alternative jointing method for steel risers, which removes the need for welding (which requires hot work permits) or screwed fittings which can only be used up to 2 inches diameter. The project will ascertain the testing which is required to ensure that the product is fit for purpose. Expected Benefits: Success of the project will be the passing of approval testing of Pyplok technology, as an alternative jointing method for riser pipe work, which removes the need for welding (which requires hot work permits) or screwed fittings which can only be used up to 2 inches diameter.
Abstract Introduction: The scope of this project includes:
  • Review current information regarding the Pyplok system
  • Define functional requirements of alternative steel fittings for use on gas riser systems, such as Pyplok
  • Conduct approval testing of Pyplok
  • Field trial Pyplok
