Industrial

Industrial facilities rely on dependable piping systems to support manufacturing processes, equipment operation and essential plant utilities. From production lines to large-scale processing facilities, piping connections must deliver reliable performance while allowing efficient installation and maintenance.

Chase Resource provides non-welded piping solutions featuring Pyplok® technology, offering an alternative to conventional welded connections for suitable industrial applications. These solutions help simplify pipe joining, reduce on-site hot-work requirements and support efficient installation, maintenance and retrofit projects.

Challenges in the Industrial Sector

Industrial environments present several challenges when installing, modifying and maintaining piping systems. Production schedules, site safety requirements and the need to minimise downtime make efficient pipe-joining methods increasingly important.

Installation downtime

Conventional welding can extend installation and repair schedules, particularly when equipment shutdowns and preparation activities are required.

Hot-work requirements

Welding involves heat, sparks and associated safety precautions, which can complicate work in operational industrial facilities.

Maintenance complexity

Modifying existing pipework or replacing damaged sections can require additional preparation, skilled labour and inspection.

Space and accessibility constraints

Restricted access around machinery and existing piping can make conventional joining methods difficult.

Operational reliability

Pipe connections must be appropriate for the operating pressure, temperature, fluid and mechanical demands of the application.

Pyplok® Non-Welded Piping Technology

Pyplok® provides a mechanical pipe-joining solution that uses specialised tooling to radially swage compatible fittings onto prepared pipes or tubes, creating a permanent connection without conventional welding.

For industrial facilities, this technology offers an alternative joining method for suitable piping installations, equipment connections and maintenance projects. By eliminating the welding operation at the connection, Pyplok® can simplify installation procedures and reduce the need for welding-related hot-work controls.

The technology can be evaluated for new installations, plant modifications and replacement work where its pressure ratings, materials, dimensions and service conditions meet the project requirements.

Pyplok® Benefits

Pyplok® can help industrial operators improve piping installation and maintenance efficiency while reducing the practical challenges associated with conventional welded connections.

Reduced installation time

Simplifies the joining process by eliminating conventional welding at the connection.

Reduced hot-work requirements

Avoids welding sparks and heat generation during the joining operation.

Simplified maintenance

Supports suitable pipework modifications and repairs with fewer welding-related activities.

Consistent connections

Specialised installation tooling and verification gauges support controlled installation procedures.

Reduced site complexity

Can reduce the need for welding equipment and associated preparation activities at the connection point

Improved project efficiency

Helps reduce installation effort and may shorten maintenance or retrofit work, depending on project conditions.

Pyplok® can help industrial operators improve piping installation and maintenance efficiency while reducing the practical challenges associated with conventional welded connections.
