Product catalog summary
General Function and Application:
PETROSYSTEM's inflatable air bags are designed for low-pressure applications, allowing for safe air or water testing of pipes and drains, as well as stopping gas or liquid flow. These air bags are constructed with a natural rubber bladder covered by proofed canvas or nylon, enabling them to pass through small pipe openings. They are suitable for pipe sizes up to 96 inches, with larger sizes available upon request.

Manufacture and Specifications:
The air bags are influenced by five factors affecting their pressure holdback capability: pipe surface, frictional resistance of the bag cover, contact area between bag and pipe, support for the bag, and internal bag pressure. Double-length bags with restraining loops are available, offering twice the safe working pressure of standard bags. The air bags come with options for Brass & Plastic Taps or a Schraeder Valve, and standard hose lengths vary by size.

Ancillary Equipment:
Additional equipment includes plastic inflators with Schraeder valves, pressure gauges, relief valves, brass hand inflators, stirrup pumps, and EPDM tubing. Air bags can also be equipped with a center tube for venting and purge bag sets.

Pneumatic Pipe Plugs:
The PLUGY and PLUGSY series offer single and multi-size plugs with superior sealing ability, reinforced with Rayon-Kevlar, and equipped with quick-action couplings. These plugs are flexible, allowing insertion through gullies and bending up to 90 degrees. They are used for sealing and testing pipeline tightness with air or water. The table provided lists various plug sizes, usage ranges, and specifications.

Oil-Resistant Plugs:
Oil-resistant Plugy plugs are available up to 1000 mm in diameter, made of Nytril rubber, and are resistant to oil and its derivatives.

Manufacture Our’s air bags are made by covering a natural rubber bladder with either proofed canvas or nylon. This construction allows the deflated bags to be passed through quite small holes in the side of the pipe. To suit pipe sizes up to 96” (2400mm) and in special circumstances larger bags can be made. Application Our’ s air bags can be used for a number of applications including: pipe testing, oil pipeline maintenance, gas pipeline maintenance, and drain testing. It is generally accepted that the pressure which a bag will hold back depends on five factors: 1. The surface of the pipe into which the bag is to be inserted. 2. The frictional resistance of the bag cover material. 3. The total area of contact between bag and pipe. 4. Whether or not a bag is supported. 5. The pressure inside the bag itself.

Double length bags with restraining loops to which hawsers can be attached are also available. Provided these are properly anchored these bags whose safe working pressure is twice that of standard bags will hold back pressures up to 75% of their safe working pressures. PE air bags come with a choice of Brass & Plastic Taps...
