Product catalog summary
General Function and Application:
PETROSYSTEM Srl offers inflatable air bags designed for low-pressure applications. These air bags are used for safe air or water testing of pipes and drains, as well as for stopping gas or liquid flow along pipelines.

Manufacture:
The air bags are constructed with a natural rubber bladder covered by proofed canvas or nylon, allowing them to pass through small pipe openings. They are available for pipe sizes up to 96 inches (2400mm), with larger sizes available upon request.

Application:
The air bags are suitable for various applications, including pipe testing, oil and gas pipeline maintenance, and drain testing. The pressure a bag can hold depends on factors such as pipe surface, bag cover material friction, contact area, support, and internal bag pressure.

Product Features:
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, with customization available.

Ancillary Equipment:
Additional equipment includes plastic inflators, 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:
PETROSYSTEM offers single and multi-size plugs, known as PLUGY and PLUGSY, featuring superior surface patterns, reinforcement, and sealing ability. These plugs are used for sealing and testing pipeline tightness and are available in various sizes with quick action couplings for inflation.

Specifications:
The document provides a detailed table of plug specifications, including size range, deflated plug dimensions, required inflation pressure, and weight. Oil-resistant plugs made of Nytril rubber are also available for diameters up to 1000 mm.

Commitment to Improvement:
PETROSYSTEM is committed to continuous product improvement through research and design, with specifications subject to change. Customers are encouraged to contact the company for the latest product details.

Inflatable Air bags for Low pressure-1

AIR BAGS General function and application: PE™s inflatable air bags, for low pressure applications, allow safe air or water testing of pipes and drains, as well as stopping gas or liquid flow along the line. 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. 2. 3. 4. 5. The surface of the pipe into which the bag is to be inserted. The frictional resistance of the bag cover material. The total area of contact between bag and pipe. Whether or not a bag is supported. The pressure inside the bag itself.

Inflatable Air bags for Low pressure-2

It is worth noting that any slight physical support will dramatically increase the holdback pressure. 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 or a Schraeder Valve and a standard hose/tubing of approximately 6ft length on sizes 2” to 18”, and approximately 4’ 3” length on sizes 20” to 84”. However, the hose/tubing...
