Inflatable pipeline spheres are manufactured from a high performance polyurethane elastomer from specially designed
tooling which enables production of monolithic (seamless) thick wall spheres.
Smaller sizes of spheres, 3" up to and including 14" are fitted with a single spring loaded inflation valve.
Larger sizes, 16" up to and including 36" are manufactured with two valves positioned diametrically opposite. A valve
sealing cap protects the valve from damage and ingress of dirt and prevents the inflation of the sphere caused by high
pipeline operating pressure. the hexagonal head of the sealing cap may be easily marked for identification purposes.
The following accessories are required for sizing and inflation of spheres.
Multi-functional inflation unit : This unit incorporates a sealing plug removal socket, fill tube and schrader valve
removal Tool.
NOTE : It is important that spheres are run on pipelines which have been designed and built for sphere operations.
The method of manufacture ensures that the sphere has a constant wall thickness and therefore remains rounder much
longer, as the sphere does eventually wear through use.

Excessive temperature and humidity combined, causes deterioration of the sphere material. For long periods of time,
spheres should be stored in an area away from direct sunlight, with fairly low humidities.

PRODUCT GUIDE
The monitor range of pig passage indicators is specifically designed, in concept and detail, to overcome the limitations of
earlier signalling methods.
The sensor probe (trigger) is omni-directional : it can neither damage pigs or spheres nor be damaged by their passage.
Trigger has 100% free movement - therefore positioning of welding boss is unrestricted and may be mounted either on the
top or the side of a pipeline.
Available for use with foam and polly pigs (extended triggers available to order).
APPLICATION
This is an omni trigger operated unit. The principle feature consists of a magnetic link between two packs of rare earth magnets.
The trigger is omni-directional and may also be actuated upwards as a plunger. W hen the trigger is actuated (very low torque is
required) a follower mechanically moves a magnet pack axially in the indicator body. The magnet pack is strongly linked to a
second magnet pack and shaft which move axially within an un-pressurised housing.
The movement of the shaft operates a visual, manual re-set flag and/or activates a limit-switch (auto-reset), giving a positive
indication that a pig or sphere has passed the indicator.
The flag may be set such that it can be seen from any given direction.

Observation :
This leaflet, based on our experience, must be regarded as technical information. Our guarantee only covers the
replacement of faulty material. It is up to the user to check that our products are suitable to each application, and he shall
bear the risks of such applications.
Best quality rubber seals are fitted as standard. Caps are brass
on 2" outlet plugs and plastic on ½" &1" outlets (½" & 1" brass
caps available on request).
Roller washers are fitted on 2" outlet plugs. 1" roller washers
available on request.
Please note that sizes 100 mm (4"), and 150 mm (6") can be
supplied with 1" BSP outlet if required.
Expanding pipe stoppers with extended centre tube and spider arms.
The extended tube allows the plug to operate approximately 300 mm (12") inside the pipe when necessary and the spider arms
keep the stopper centralised during positioning and expansion.
Can be supplied with standard brass caps as shown on the middle two illustrations or special hose connectors as shown on the
two outside illustrations. Please state requirements when ordering.
Self- centralising stoppers can be supplied in all sizes from 1220 mm (48") to 50 mm (2").
Please note that 175 mm (7") is the smallest size to which spider arms are fitted. Roller washers are fitted on all 1" and 2" BSP
outlets. Rubber rings are fitted as standard.
Owing to variation of wall thickness on certain types of pipes it is essential when ordering to state the actual inside diameter of
the pipe concerned.
These plugs will seal airtight and in tests with plastic pipes
are capable of sealing against pressures from 60 psi - 4 bar,
to over 100 psi - 7 bar.
APPLICATIONS
with ½"Outlet
To complete the range of Expanding Plugs we offer an extensive range of cast aluminium plugs. These are provided firstly in
sizes up to6" for more arduous duty such as long immersion in water and higher temperature applications and, secondly, in
sizes up to 24" dia. where it would be uneconomical to manufacture nylon plugs.
All plugs conform to BS8005. for low pressure testing and sealing of pipes.
Note : They are slightly less effective at extreme higher limits of expansion than in the middle and lower ranges.
The weld is flooded with detergent solution and the vacuum box placed over the top.
The open edge of the vacuum box incorporates a soft but hard wearing neoprene seal so a vacuum can be generated
within the box.
The operator views the weld area through a clear polycarbonate observation window in the top of the box.
A vacuum relief valve is incorporated in the system to prevent damage to the vacuum box.
This is set at 20in.Hg (10 psi) ensuring that the most stringent requirements of EEMUA, API and ASME are met.
