PROBLEMS WITH TRADITIONAL TRAPPING

No of components 10 / 15
No of connections / welds 9 /14
Time to install - 4 hours +
Time to Maintain more than 4hrs
Valve leakage 1 / 2 Gland leakage ,
1 inline
leakage
Heat emission - High
Materials of construction are variable with the chance of
corrosion
Length of assembly 500 to 750mm
Weight - 8 kg ---13.5kg

HIDDEN COSTS - PIPEWORK

Each component must be selected

Each component must be purchased
Each component must be accounted for
Each component may have a material
certificate
Pipe work must be designed and drawn
This design must be approved

HIDDEN COSTS - WELDING

Non Destructive Examination:- Dye penetrate
- Magnetic particle
- Ultrasound
- Radiography

Sites think welders time is free

Welding could be sub-contracted
Hot work permit - delay

Beneficial Features

Single permanent in-line component for ease of specification and

installation

Only 1 weld to install in line in open loop.

Forged Carbon steel construction for long life

Time to install - less than 45 mins

Reduced maintenance costs compared to traditional trapping stations plant can be kept live while trap is replaced -----No need to remove
anything but the trap for maintenance

Weight reduced to only 4 kg

Zero valve leakage Class VI ---due to piston valve technology

Heat emission is low - less surface area

Overall length reduced to 160mm

Universal Installation
