Low-pressure Isolation Plugs

Used to create a reliable seal or isolate specific areas and seal a pipeline, vessel, duct or tank section to enable maintenance, repair, or inspection activities.

Low-pressure isolation plugs are widely used in industrial sectors, municipal water systems, oil and gas, chemical, and power generation industries to ensure safety and operational efficiency.

These specialized devices create a reliable seal or isolate specific areas and seal a pipeline, vessel, duct or tank section to enable maintenance, repair, or inspection activities. Low-pressure isolation plugs sequester a section of the pipeline or vessel that needs to be worked on, effectively contain and control potential leaks, and mitigate cross-contamination risks by preventing the flow of substances like liquids or gases. This isolation enables maintenance or repair work to be carried out without interrupting the entire system.

Frequently Asked Questions

In mining and power generation, low-pressure plugs are typically used to isolate ductwork, ventilation shafts, and pipelines. This allows for safe maintenance, inspection, and repair, or to prevent the ingress of contaminants during shutdowns.
Giant Inflatables Industrial specialises in custom fabrication, enabling the design and manufacture of plugs for any conduit shape. Plugs can be engineered to create a perfect seal in square, rectangular, oval, or other irregular profiles based on client specifications.
These plugs are designed to operate at very low pressures and require only a small volume of air to create an effective seal. This allows them to be inflated quickly and easily using a simple hand pump or a small electric inflator.
The "Plug Up" products provide a positive, reliable seal that is critical for ensuring worker safety during maintenance. By preventing the release of hazardous materials or gases, they enhance operational integrity and allow work to proceed in a safely isolated zone.
A "double block and bleed" procedure involves using two plugs to isolate a section of pipe or duct. The space between the plugs is then vented or "bled" to a zero-energy state, providing a verifiable and highly secure isolation for personnel working downstream.
Giant Inflatables Industrial uses high-quality, flexible, and robust PVC-coated materials. This construction ensures the plugs are not only durable but can also conform perfectly to the internal surface of a pipe or duct to create a consistently reliable seal.
The plugs are ideally suited for creating temporary seals in large ducts and ventilation shafts. Their rapid deployment and effective sealing capabilities are essential for managing airflow and preventing contamination during plant or mine shutdowns.
