The STP plug eliminate the problems of safety typical of installation of normal conical plugs and/or expansion plugs for the exclusion of tube exchangers. The STP plugs is produced in more size and materials ad fits in a few minutes. To install it on the tube exchanger is sufficient to perform a slight conical reaming and then to thread the end part of tube by rolling. The rolled thread does not weaken the tube, indeed strengthens the rolling expansion. The STP plug produces immediate and future economic benefits because it is not invasive for the tube sheet and do not require special tools for the installation in safety conditions.
Safety Benefits
· The threaded connection ensures a solid anchorage to the tube, preventing the accidental projection as a result of the thrust of the pressure.
· You can remove the plug without any risk to people, the duct carried out on the thread allows you to relieve the pressure, possibly arisen inside the tube excluded, while the plug is still firmly attached to it, thus avoiding the plug projection.
· To prevent the projection due to the pressure is not required any welding.
· It is not necessary to use screen protectors to inspect the tube sheet.
Economic Benefits
· It is no longer necessary to weld the plug saving the weld and all operations preliminary and subsequent it.
· There is no more risk of triggering domino effect on neighboring tubes, both for the absence of welding and for the absence of hammering on the plug.
· Does not cause any damage to the hole in the tube sheet allowing the normal reuse without any repair.
· STP is suitable both for the exclusion of perforated tubes and for the elimination of leakage from expanded rolled and/or welded
· The plugs do not come off from the tubes and will not be dragged by the fluid to damage the machinery plant
