Descrio Geral | General Description
Os lanadores e receptores de PIG Tormene Americana so de
simples operao, projeto provado e de estrutura slida.
Os mesmos so projetados para uma ampla de faixa de presses de
operao, seguindo as normas internacionais como ASME, API ou
outras aplicveis segundo especificaes particulares.
Todos os lanadores e recebedores possuem tampas de abertura
rpida, que asseguram um curto tempo de operao de abertura ou
fechamento. Em grandes dimetros pode ser operados por uma s
pessoa sem utilizao de ferramentas especiais.
Tambm so oferecidos sob encomenda, os detectores de
passagem, vlvulas, vlvulas de alivio, manmetros, by-pass, etc.
Nossos lanadores e recebedores so projetados para a utilizao de
PIG mecnicos, inteligentes e/ou esferas de limpeza ou impulso.
Fornecemos sistema porttil (skid) ou sobre bases metlicas para
bases de concreto.
The Tormene Americana scraper launchers and receivers are of simple
operation, proved design and structural solidity.
They are designed for a wide range of operation pressure ranks,
following the regulation of international codes such as ASME, API or
others applicable according to particular specifications.
All launchers and receivers have quick opening closures, which
guarantee a very short opening and closing operation time even in wide
diameters, being able to be operated by one person without using
special tools.
Passing detectors, valves, relief valves, pressure gauges, by-pass, etc.
are also provided on request.
Our launchers and receivers are designed for the use of mechanical and
intelligent PIG and/or cleansing or impulse spheres.
They are provided with oil skid or on metallic basis for cement basis.
