Pivoting Head Line Stop Equipment for Pipeline Work

Pivoting head line stop machines are used to temporarily isolate a section of pipeline, allowing maintenance, repair, or replacement of valves and pipe sections without shutting down or disrupting service. They are especially suited for high-pressure and high-temperature pipeline applications.

Standard pivoting head linestop machines are rated for pressures up to 450 psi at temperatures up to 250°F, using standard Buna-N sealing elements. Alternative sealing materials can extend suitability to different chemical and thermal conditions depending on the application.

Pivoting head linestop machines are available with multiple sealing element materials, including standard Buna-N rubber rated to 450 psi at 250°F, as well as EPDM and Viton options for compatibility with different chemicals, gases, and temperature ranges.

Pivoting head line stop equipment is available for a wide range of pipe sizes, from small diameters up to 12 inches through extra-large diameters exceeding 67 inches, making it suitable for municipal, industrial, and large transmission pipelines.

Yes, pivoting head line stop machines are specifically designed to safely stop hazardous gases and chemicals commonly found in mills and refineries. Selecting the appropriate sealing element material ensures compatibility and safe containment for the specific media being handled.

Yes, custom equipment manufacturing is available to meet exact pipeline specifications, including pipe size, pressure rating, and sealing material requirements. Technical consultation is also offered to help select the right configuration for your specific project.
