  • Sample above : ¾” NPS pipe pitted due to years of exposure
  • Performed 6,000 PSI (420 bar) hydrostatic proof test
  • 1,000 Psi (70 bar) nitrogen leak test
  • Zero leakage detected

PYPLOK TEST SUMMARY

TESTREQUIREMENTSRESULTS
Gas Leak TestGn2 Nitrogen 1,000 PSI for 10 minutesNo leakage
Hydrostatic BurstBased on 4 x Operating Pressure held for 5 minutesNo leakage
Hydrostatic ProofBased on 1.5 x Operating Pressure held for 5 minutesNo leakage
Vibration Test20,000,000 cycles at displacement  @ operating pressurePassed
Impulse Test500,000 cycles @ 1.33 x Operating Pressure based on ISO/BS Impulse CyclePassed
Impulse/Flexure and Fatigue at Low TemperatureSimultaneous impulse and bending stress, 8 times during test of 10,000 cycles each under peak pressure and rated bending each fitting was subjected to -100 deg F for one hour utilizing liquid CO2.No leakage
Tensile TestFitting was installed in tensile machine with cross head speed of 0.20 in/min and pulled until one side of pipe dismembered from the fitting/pipe jointExceeded Tensile Strength by a factor of 1.33 to 1.63
Torsion TestAt various Torsion Angles and Ft-Lbs of Torque @4500 Psig (Gn2) and 6000 Psig (Hydraulic Fluid)No Leakage
Heat AgingMaintained at 400 deg F ± 5 deg F for 168 hours, Proof test @ 6000 Psig for 30 minutesPassed

Benefits of PYPLOK WELDLESS FITTINGS versus welded FITTINGS

  • No special skilled labour required vs. qualified welder.
  • Actual swaging time is measured in “seconds” vs. “hours” for a welded joint.
  • No special hot work permits
  • No fire watch personnel required.
  • No leaks as a result of stress fatigue cracks as seen in welds.
  • No off loading or purging of fluids and gases.
  • No cost to x-ray welds.
  • No cost to re-work welds.
  • No acid flush chemicals and neutralizers required.
  • No added cost or environmental issues to dispose of chemical waste.
  • SAFE cold work fitting technology.
  • SAFE and easy to install in tight confined places.
  • SAFE permanent, tamper proof connection.

Benefits of PYPLOK FITTINGS versus other connections

  • One piece fitting versus multi-piece bite-type fitting.  
  • No threads or nuts that loosen over time.
  • No need to rely on the strength of the installer.
  • SAFE pre-engineered swage tool assures repeatable, leak-free and reliable connections.
  • SAFE for maintenance repairs in hazardous areas.
  • Can be installed on a wider range of pipe/tube wall thicknesses.
  • SAFE for high pressure applications.
  • Easy to install in tight tube runs side-by-side.
  • Through bore design allows for zero clearance installation.
  • No other sealants or lubricants required.

Benefits of a TMI non-welded system  versus welded system

  • No special skilled labour required vs. qualified welder.
  • Actual flaring time is measured in “seconds” vs. “hours” for a welded joint.
  • No special hot work permits
  • No fire watch personnel required.
  • No leaks as a result of stress fatigue cracks as seen in welds.
  • No cost to x-ray welds.
  • No cost to rework welds.
  • No acid flush chemicals and neutralizers required.
  • No added cost or environmental issues to dispose of chemical wastes.
  • SAFE cold work technology.
  • Tube-Mac Project Coordinators develop and cost up BOM.
  • Field bend and fabrication – reduces engineering design time.
  • On-site container – reduces warehouse and inventory costs.
