Pipe Plug

The expandable pipe plug, sometimes called inflatable pipe plug or just pipe plug, is made of reinforced rubber. It is used to seal gravity pipelines or to perform a leak test on pipelines. This testing plug is used in almost all pipelines, such as urban infrastructure that carry sewers and storm drains. In addition, it can also be used by companies to seal hydrocarbon pipelines such as oil, gasoline and natural gas.

Pipelines should be checked during installation. And while they are in service, they have to be accessible for inspection, repair or modification.

Inflatble pipe plug provided by PlugCo

The inflatable pipe plug, which is a type of expandable pipe plugs, is molded from rubber and is available as either a blank plug or a test plug. It is inflated pneumatically using a hand or foot pump, or a compressor on site. Each inflatable plug is designed to seal a number of pipe sizes and can withstand pressures up to 1.5 bar. They are typically available from 100 mm to 2200 mm.
