Description
A hot tapping machine is a specialized tool used in pipeline maintenance and modification to create new branch connections on live or pressurized pipelines. This process is often referred to as “hot tapping” because it allows for the installation of branch connections without the need to shut down the pipeline, making it a valuable tool in various industries such as oil and gas, water management, and utilities. Hot tapping machines are essential tools in industries where pipeline integrity, continuous service, and minimal disruption are critical. By allowing the creation of branch connections while the pipeline is in operation, these machines significantly reduce downtime and associated costs in maintenance and expansion projects.
