Hot Tap

Team hot taps have been used extensively and successfully worldwide for making branch connections into operating heat exchangers, vessels, columns, tanks and pipelines. They can be performed on lines from 1/2 inch to 48 inches in diameter with temperatures from cryogenic to 1,350°F (732°C) and on pressures from vacuum to 4,300 psig (296 bar).

Tapping operations by experienced Team engineers and technicians begin only after detailed coordination and planning have been completed with plant engineers.
