Pipeline Plugs

VKVC offers a comprehensive Isolation Inflatable Plug Kit, also commonly referred to as Gas Bags, Welding Barriers, or Isolation Kits. These essential kits are specifically engineered to provide reliable temporary isolation within pipelines and other critical infrastructure. Each kit comprises a robust Inflatable Plug and a supportive cell foam Cylinder, working in tandem to create a secure barrier.

A primary application for these kits lies within the Oil and Gas industry, where pipelines frequently require repair utilizing hot work procedures. During such repairs, it is paramount to ensure the safety of personnel and the integrity of the pipeline by effectively isolating flammable or hazardous fumes from the immediate hot work zone. The VKVC Isolation Inflatable Plug Kit provides a dependable solution for this critical requirement.

Recognizing the diverse operational environments in which these plugs may be deployed, VKVC offers variations to suit specific needs. For applications involving high-temperature pipelines, the plugs are available with durable cotton covers, enhancing their thermal resistance and longevity. Furthermore, the Inflatable Plugs themselves are manufactured from a wide selection of high-performance Polymers, carefully chosen based on the specific operational requirements, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility with various media and conditions.
