Equipment Type

tapping-machine-icon

Pressure/ANSI Class

pressure-100-bar

Size

4-20-inches

Engineered for a wide variety of sub-sea applications where pipelines cannot be shut down, the TDW 1200 RC tapping machine can be used for hot taps and for setting completion plugs, including LOCK-O-RING®. The machine is especially design to interface with remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs). Maximum water depth for operation is 3,000 meters (10,000 feet).

Specifications

  • 4-inch through 20-inch (DN 100 to DN 500) taps
  • Maximum working pressure: 100 bar (1,480 psi) at 38°C (100°F)
  • Operating temperature range: -18°C to 82°C (0°F to 180°F) at 153 bar (2,220 psi)
  • 72 inches boring bar travel
  • Fixed feed rate: 0.004-inch per revolution
  • Available with hydraulic and control systems and TDW power unit

Key Features

  • Compact and lightweight frame to facilitate ROV or Diver's activities
  • Pressure balance system - with Compensation cylinders - that equalize pipeline and sea pressure and reduce stress on internal component, extending tapping machine life
  • Supplied with accessories as measuring rod, ring gasket, bleeder valve, set of bolts, etc

Common Applications

  • Making sub-sea pipeline taps for tie-in or Isolation intervention
  • Setting completion plugs
