Pipe Freezing for Quick Pipe Repairs
Avoiding the requirement to drain down pipelines for repair work or to carry out maintenance can save a considerable amount of time and potential loss of product.Qwik-Freezer Pipe Freezing System eliminates the need to drain pipework by creating a freeze plug. Available from the Pipestoppers Division of Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT Qwik-Freezer is a very cost effective and quick way to perform pipeline maintenance without draining the system, meaning very little or no system downtime.Luke Keane…
Stena Goes Green with LEMAG
Since fitting the first LEMAG SLASHPOL E-WIF FQI (fuel quality improver) homogenizer on the Stena Carrier over five years ago, Stena has fitted a total of 16 of its vessels with LEMAG WIF homogenizers. Feedback from a number of the Stena vessels has confirmed that in addition to reduced fuel consumption; there is also a reduction in black smoke during start-up and maneuvering, as well as at full load. It was noted on the vessels that operate with SCR NOx reduction systems that as the exhaust temperature was reduced by more than 10°C the WIF allowed the chief engineer to fine tune the system…
New Inflatable Tube and Pipe Weld Purging System
When welding tubes and pipes such as stainless, duplex, chrome etc., it is important to purge the internal bore with an inert gas to prevent oxidization, discoloration and to ensure a good internal weld profile. Huntingdon Fusion Techniques (HFT) announced it has introduced PurgElite, a range of tube and pipe purging systems to achieve a clean, oxide free, zero color weld. These systems are manufactured to suit pipe diameters from 25-600 mm and are made of low outgassing rate materials, which gives them the ability to produce high quality welds in tubing and piping.
New Tube and Pipe Weld Purge Systems
Having been manufacturing Tube and Pipe Weld Purging Systems since 1975 Huntingdon Fusion Techniques (HFT) said it has evolved the science of Weld Purging to new levels. Along with other recently announced scientific developments in its Weld Purge Monitor series, the Company has now reached the Fifth version of its Tube and Pipe Weld Purge System designs by launching the new PurgElite range of Tube and Pipe Weld Purging systems for diameters from 1” to 24” diameter inclusive.
HFT Launches Weld Purging Technology
Launch of new Tube and Pipe weld purge systems for Shipbuilding and Shiprepair industries. Having been manufacturing Tube and Pipe Weld Purging Systems since 1975 Huntingdon Fusion Techniques (HFT) has now reached the MKV version of its designs by launching the new PurgElite series of Tube and Pipe Purging systems for diameters from 1” to 12” diameter inclusive. This particular range is especially suitable for the Stainless Steels, Duplex Steels and Nickel alloys that are being used in the manufacture of much of ships’ piping systems today.
