Hydraulic Access System

The Hydraulic Access System allows corrosion monitoring devices to access Oil and Gas facilities under full operating pressure.

Datasheet

Hydraulic Access Fitting

The Access Fitting provides access to pipework for the insertion or removal of Coupons, Probes and Chemical/Injection Tubes. Foy hydraulic system the connection between the device and the fitting is made via 4 locking pins.

Hydraulic Access Fitting Flareweld

Flareweld Access Fitting is designed to be welded directly to the pipe or vessel. The fitting is designed with a radius to match the curvature of the pipe.

Datasheet

Hydraulic Access Fitting Flanged

Flanged Access Fitting is designed for mating with standard flanges. Are available two configurations according to ASME B16.5 and API standards.

Datasheet

Hydraulic Access Fitting Buttweld

Buttweld Access Fitting is designed to be buttwelded directly to a 2” buttweldolet.

Datasheet

Hydraulic Plugs

Plugs are the internal part of the Hydraulic Access Fitting which acts as seal to maintain the line pressure as well as the retrievable carrier for holding the corrosion devices.

Hydraulic Solid Plug

Solid Plug is used for holding Coupon Assemblies, Chemical Injection and Sampling devices.

Datasheet

Hydraulic Hollow Plug

Hollow Plug is used for holding ER Probes, LPR Probes, Hydrogen Probes and any other type of sensor that requires a cable connection.

Datasheet

Hydraulic Protective Covers

Protective Covers are designed to protect the external ACME threads of Access Fitting from mechanical and enviromental damage. This thread is specially important because it is the main connection for the use of the Retrieval Tool Kit used to retrieve and install the monitoring devices.

Hydraulic Heavy Duty Cover for Coupon [and injection&sampling]

Hydraulic Heavy Duty Cover for Coupon

It is the simplest protective cover. It is usually used with Access Fitting having Solid Plug with Coupon Holder or Injection/Sampling equipment as monitoring device.

Datasheet

Hydraulic Pressure Retaining Cover for Coupon

Hydraulic Pressure Retaining Cover for Coupon

It is designed as a secondary safety containment in case a seal in the Access Fitting develops a leak. It is usually used with Access Fitting having Solid Plug with Coupon Holder or Injection/Sampling equipment as monitoring device.

Datasheet

Hydraulic Heavy Duty Cover for Probe

It is the simplest protective cover. It is usually used with Access Fitting having Hollow Plug with Probe monitoring device. The hole allows to connect the Probe directly to the Instrument.

Advantages of Hydraulic System

In comparison with traditional Mechanical system, the Hydraulic configuration is the preferred technique for safe and easy installation and retrieving of monitoring devices such as Corrosion Coupons, Corrosion & Erosion Probes, Chemical Injection & Sampling.

The system has important advantages from operational and safety point of view:

1. EASE OF ALIGNMENT

Precise alignment of tool and monitoring device in an access fitting of a pressurized system.

2. NO INTERNAL THREADS

Connections between hydraulic fitting and plug avoid galling and seized plugs caused by particles in the process.

3. COMPATIBILITY

Any mechanical system can be converted into hydraulic configuration through a suitable hydraulic adapter and a plug.

4. NO EXTERNAL MOVING PARTS

Increased safety to operators and assets.

5. SMALLER, SHORTER AND LIGHTER

Increased accessibility due to less operational space required.

6. OPERATED FROM DISTANCE

2 or 3 meters away from the high-pressure point via a hydraulic pump minimising the risk of exposure to operators.

Hydraulic Access System

The Hydraulic Access Assembly permits corrosion monitoring devices to access to systems under full operating pressure, eliminating any need of system shut-down.

The Access Assembly allows safe and easy insertion and retrieval of devices by means of the Hydraulic Retrieval Tool Kit. Access System may be installed under system pressure with the use of EuropCorr Hot Tap Tool and can be mounted at any position of the pipeline that local operating conditions permit.

The assembly is composed by an Hydraulic Access Fitting, a Solid or Hollow Plug and a Heavy Duty Cover or a Pressure Retaining Cover. The components will depend on the applicable device: Weigth Loss & Special Coupons, Probes or Chemical Injection & Sampling Tubes.

In comparison with Mechanical System, Hydraulic configuration is safer and more reliable for installation and retrieving under full operating pressure.
