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.

Retrieval Tool Kit and Hot Tap Tool
Retrieval Tool Kit is specially designed for safe and easy installation and removal of monitoring devices from pipelines and vessels under fulline pressure through a EuropCorr Access System. This Kit is mainly composed of the Retrieval Tool and the Single or Double Isolation Service Valve.
The main components of Retriever Tool and Service Valve are manufactured from stainless steel, and they receive a chroming treatment for resistance to mechanical/corrosion damage and to ensure many years of reliable service. Retriever Tool and Service Valve are hydro tested after assembly to ensure proper field performance. Depending on the length of monitoring equipment being installed, one Retriever Tool and one Service Valve may be used to service many Access Fitting locations.
EuropCorr offers two types of Retrieval tool kits, one for the Mechanical Access System and another for the Hydraulic Access System. In comparison with Mechanical System, Hydraulic configuration is safer and more reliable for installation and retrieving under full operating pressure.
