Reduce Time and Cost with Petersen® Inflatable Line Stop (ILS) systems. Call Petersen or email to discuss the benefits.
- Safety enhanced and Environmental Risk reduced with smaller hot tap hole to help maintain pipeline integrity.
- Conforms to out of round pipe configurations for better seal than mechanical stops.
- Time and Cost reduced with smaller lighter weight equipment allows and faster deployment.
- High flexibility, small deflated diameter allows installation through much smaller hot tap than much heavier costlier mechanical stops.
- Heavyweight Ballistic Nylon reinforced Polyurethane construction for long term reuse. Materials such as Kevlar and Viton available for most pressure, chemical, and temperature requirements.
- A minimal inflation pressure with water, air or other inert gas will expand the plug thus most of the pressure is applied to pipe ID for sealing.
- Small deflated plug diameter allows flexible insertion through a much smaller hot tap than mechanical Line Stops
- IFS Insertion Systems may be used with multiple plug and pipe sizes.
