Oil Flushing and Pressure Testing

The knowledge gained over the years enabled Tube-Mac® to develop and manufacture its own equipment to oil flush and pressure test all Tube-Mac® non-welded piping systems. The oil flushing units, which are portable, can pressure test and filter each piping system to the customer specified cleanliness levels usually within hours.

Tube-Mac®’s mechanical joint systems eliminate all the contamination pitfalls of a typical welded system. Because of the cold drawn scale-free pipe and non-welded connections, the need for costly internal acid chemical cleaning, neutralizing and flushing is a thing of the past. The environmental issues and high costs to dispose of the chemical waste is no longer a major concern when utilizing a Tube-Mac® piping system.

The system operating fluid is used with the Tube-Mac® flushing units, and any contaminants in the piping are removed and the system operating fluid is polished. The pipes are looped together to speed up the process. Oil samples are taken and sent to an independent laboratory for analysis. Once the system reaches the desired cleanliness level, the pipes can be “unlooped” or joined back together. The Tube-Mac® flushing unit is disconnected, cleaned and polished system fluid the piping system is now full of cleaned and polished system fluid that remains in the pipes and the equipment is ready for startup and commissioning.

Tube-Mac® flushing units each have the ability to output 200 US GPM (760 litres/min) but they have been designed in such a way that multiple units can be joined together to obtain flushing capabilities of 6,000 US GPM (22,700 litres/min) or higher.

The result of this flushing service is a clean system with significant labour savings by the greatly reduced flushing time. The added benefits include the elimination of environmental issues and the elimination of the costs to dispose of any hazardous chemicals.
