Concrete Pipe Plugs

Pipe Plug is a rubber pneumatic tool for temporary sealing of pipelines in sewerage, water line systems for maintenance or non-pressurized line testing. Pipe plug is also known as inflatable plug, expandable plug, pipe bung, pipe stopper, pipe packer, pneumatic pipe plug or pipe balloon depending on the region where it is used.

Usage

Pipe plugs are often confused with relatively smaller plumbing accessories. However, as an industrial tool, pipe plugs are used in larger infrastructure pipelines. Pipe plugs provide a trench-less method for the maintenance of drains and sewers, and construction and testing of non-pressurized gravity pipelines.

There are three main purposes of pipe plugs. These are temporary sealing or stopping the fluid flow in a pipeline, leak testing and by-passing the flow. They are also used for blocking the ends of pipes to prevent the entry of dirt and other contaminants during construction, maintenance or repair of pipelines.

The leak tests of gravity pipelines using the pipe plug are performed with respecting the requirements of the European Standard EN1610 for both water and air tests.

The Inflatable Pipe plugs have a wide variety of types each for different purpose:

● Pipe Plug

● Pipe Test Plug

● Conical Plug

● Pipe Packer

● High Pressure Pipe Plug

● Oil and Gas Pipe Plug

● Steam Process Plug

● Pipe Joint Tester
