Pipe Plug, Hi Psi, Block & Bleed 145-1 Series

What are High PSI Block & Bleed Pipe Plugs

High PSI block and bleed pipe plugs are specialized equipment used to isolate parts of high-pressure pipelines, allowing for safe maintenance, pressure testing, and leak discovery without depressurizing the entire system. These plugs have a strong design that can handle high pressure while yet offering solid blockage via a unique locking mechanism. 

The "block and bleed" capability offers dual sealing, with a bleed port for verifying seal integrity and safely releasing pressure before removal. This provides a safe and controlled working environment in a variety of industrial applications, particularly pipes transporting hazardous or high-pressure fluids.

Applications of 145-1 Series Mechanical High Pressure Block & Bleed Plugs

The 145-1 Series High PSI Double Block and Bleed Plug is designed for a variety of essential industrial and high-pressure pipeline applications, offering versatility and reliability in harsh situations.

• Industrial Pipeline Pressure Testing: The 145-1 Series is perfect for accurately testing pipes to ensure that they can handle high operating pressures without leaking or failing. Its high-pressure rating, as well as its double block and bleed capability, make these tests both safe and effective.
• Pipeline Isolation for Maintenance and Repairs: This pipe plug is used to isolate parts of a pipeline during maintenance or repair operations. By securely sealing off a section of the pipeline, technicians can safely work on the system without having to depressurize the entire line. This reduces downtime and operating interruptions.
• Seal Verification in High-Pressure Systems: The 145-1 Series, with its double block and bleed port, is ideal for testing the integrity of pipeline seals in high-pressure situations. This function allows operators to confirm the effectiveness of the plug's seal before performing testing or maintenance, enhancing safety and reducing the danger of leakage.
• Customization for ROV Sub-Sea Installations: The 145-1 Series can be customized for use in remote-operated vehicle (ROV) sub-sea installations. Its solid structure and versatility make it ideal for subsurface activities requiring precise sealing and blockage, such as offshore oil and gas pipelines. The flexibility to adapt the plug for unique subsea requirements increases its versatility.

Why Choose High PSI Double Block and Bleed Plugs
