Heat Coil Repair of Crest Mercury One

Case Study: Heat Coil Repair of Crest Mercury One: Singapore

Chase Resource (CR) supplied and trained personnel to execute a Heating Coil Repair Job on Vessel Crest Mercury One at Dubai Dry Docks, Dubai, UAE Being a heating coil job, no hot works had to be performed which made PYPLOK® an ideal solution for this job. PYPLOK® is a radially swaged pipe fitting and involves no welding or hot-work.

The tube sizes being 30mm, 44.5 mm and 57mm were repaired using PYPLOK® Fittings equipped with Inner EPDM-Outer Viton Seal which are specially meant for connecting and repairing Heating Coils. The inner EPDM O-ring seals the steam in the piping and the Outer Viton seals the fuel in the tank. PYPLOK® Extra Long Couplings (DMXX301) specially designed for heating coils were used for repairs where a short length of piping had to be cut. This eliminates the need to use two standard length couplings to carry out the same repair. The installation was successfully hydrotested by the customer and the work completion was acknowledged with a signed completion report.
