What is the difference Between Pipe Freezes and Line Stops?
In the end, both services are conducted in an effort to yield the same result. This provides a temporary shut off that allows the company and the customer to make repairs, changes to the pipeline, or relocate pieces of the pipeline without having to shut the entire system down. Pipe freezes are most common when there is no flow in the line. Line stops are great for lines that are continuing to flow during this time. Both are meant to keep companies running while a number of different issues are sorted out with a given pipeline.
What are the difference between a Hot Tap and a Wet Tap?
An often overlooked question is, what is the difference between a hot tap and a wet tap? They both are utilized to provide connections to a pipeline. The main difference is going to depend upon the pipeline material. Typically, hot taps are performed on carbon, stainless steel, brass, copper, and a number of other different pipeline materials. Typically, a hot tap will be a welded application, but sometimes may feature a bolted application.
A wet tap refers to water or waste water contained within the pipeline. Typically, wet taps are conducted on a variety of different materials including ductile iron, concrete cylinder pipe, and transite, each of which present their own issues.
The difference between the two services is the type of pipelines they are utilized on, as well as the products that are flowing within the pipeline.
