Tapping machines are used to make connections to pipelines, tanks and plant piping and are used to make hot taps in preparation for plugging machine applications. The T-203 Tapping Machine is used for making 4" through 12" (DN 100mm through DN 300mm) taps without shutdown in pipelines, primarily for the installation of TDW SHORTSTOPP® Plugging Machines. The T-203 Tapping Machine has an adjustable automatic feed rate of 0 to 1/8" per revolution for any cutting condition.
The T-203 Tapping Machine operates at a maximum of 740 psi (50 bar) @ 100°F (38°C). Its operating temperature is -20° F (-29° C) to 180°F (82°C) @ 675 psi (46 bar). It weighs 241 pounds (109 kg.), including the air motor drive, which is standard equipment. Lightweight with a low center of gravity, it is designed to be easy to handle and to operate. The T-203 Tapping Machine also features a four-bolt attachment to the valve adapter. This provides a simple, rigid makeup with proper cutter alignment. |
