One-Stop Refinery Piping Solutions

Most environments within petrochemical and refinery operations are far too hazardous for hot work on any piping. If conventional welding methods are even an option, they would require lengthy shutdown periods as well as costly pipe welding personnel and equipment, fire watch, habitat building, and gas evacuation. Pyplok® non-welded technology eliminates all those costs associated with welding and is an ideal alternative to traditional methods. Pyplok® is suitable for ASME B31.3 Category D systems including air, water, steam, and other fluids and gases.

Petrochemical and Refinery Applications for Pyplok® Fittings and Systems

Pyplok® is a 360° radial-swaged, non-welded, mechanically attached fitting which permanently connects pipe and tube for a cold, leak-free connection. A hydraulically powered compression tool swages the fitting over pipe/tube, plastically deforming the fitting in seconds.

New Builds

The clean and fast installation process makes Pyplok® the ideal piping product for large-scale new build activities, where numerous construction tasks are in progress simultaneously.

Planned Shutdowns and Turnarounds

Non-welded technology makes Pyplok® the perfect repair and maintenance fitting for applications. Onsite contractors or maintenance personnel can apply Pyplok® fittings without needing to do any extensive line flushing or gas freeing, greatly reducing downtime and eliminating the need for expensive pipe welding methods.
