HP Access Fitting Assemblies

Datasheet COR 13 004

High Pressure Access Systems are specialized piping arrangements that permit internal access to production plant vessels and pipework operating under full process conditions. The corrosion monitoring industry standard for such access systems is based on a 2-inch nominal bore design. The HP System is the generic design and is widely used throughout the world. This system is compatible and interchangeable with access fitting equipment produced by other major manufacturers. When operated with a Retrieval Tool and Service Valve, high pressure access systems allow the installation and retrieval of: coupon holders probes chemical injection and sampling probes, quills, and nozzles These devices can be installed or retrieved safely and without plant shutdown, at working pressures up to 3,600 psi. High pressure access systems are used most frequently (although not exclusively) in oil and gas production operations. This is typical of high pressure operations in which users are not prepared to shut down and depressurize process systems in order to remove or install corrosion monitoring devices. High pressure access systems consist of five basic components: an Access Fitting Body a Plug Assembly a Cover a Service Valve a Retrieval Tool The access fitting body is the specialized pipe fitting which is permanently attached to the process plant vessel or pipework. Access fitting bodies can be welded or flange-mounted. The plug assembly is the carrier for the installed device and, depending on the type of device being used, a solid plug assembly or a hollow plug assembly is selected. The plug assembly screws into the access fitting body and seals the bore of the fitting to contain line pressure. The access fitting body together with its plug assembly, and cover (designed to protect the external thread) is known as an access fitting assembly. The retrieval tool and service valve are the components which are required to perform the online installation and retrieval of the plug assembly. With the plug assembly removed during the retrieval procedure, the service valve is used to contain line pressure. One service valve and one retrieval tool may be used to maintain a number of access fitting assemblies.

The following equipment can typically be installed into process lines using standard access fitting assemblies: Corrosion Coupons Electrical Resistance Probes Linear Polarization Probes Biological Probes Erosion Probes

By using access fitting bodies which incorporate a side-tee, the following functions can be additionally undertaken: Chemical Injection Process Sampling Sand Monitoring

Plug Assemblies The Plug Assembly is the retrievable carrier which holds corrosion monitoring, chemical injection, or various other devices which may be installed through the access fitting. There are two distinct types of plug assemblies - the Solid Plug and the Hollow Plug. The plug assembly screws into the bore of the access fitting body and is designed to seal the fitting against line pressure. When tee type access fittings are being used, a pipe plug or nipple and shut-off valve is additionally required to seal the fitting. The standard material of construction for the plug assembly is 316 Stainless Steel. It should be noted that when stainless steel or duplex materials are specified for the access fitting body, the plug assembly should be specified to be Nitronic 60 to prevent thread galling. All plug assemblies are individually pressure tested at the factory and are rated for operation at 6000 psi. The operating temperature range for standard plug assemblies is -50F (-45C) to 350F (176C), but this range can be extended by use of alternative sealing materials.

Solid Plugs Solid plugs carry coupon holders, injection/sampling systems, sand probes, and bioprobes With HP solid plugs, the solid plug nut is unscrewed from the base of the plug and replaced by the device being installed. A left-hand thread is used to ensure that installed devices do not become loose during the retrieval procedure. Hollow Plugs Hollow plugs are used with electrical resistance (E/R) probes, linear polarization resistance (LPR) probes, and hydrogen probes. To connect these devices with HP hollow plugs, the hollow plug seal nut is removed and the monitoring device is screwed into the female thread in the base of the hollow plug. A left-hand thread is used. Access is allowed through the top of the hollow plug for electrical connections to be made directly to probes for the purpose of taking readings. Protective Covers Protective covers are designed with internal threads which mate with the access fitting body and are recommended to prevent damage to the fittings exterior thread. In addition, they protect the surfaces against which the service valve seals during retrieval operations. Heavy Duty Pressure Rated Covers Heavy duty pressure rated covers are manufactured as standard in AISI 1018 and are supplied with a paint coat finish suitable for the most aggressive environments. Covers are individually pressure tested for a pressure rating of 4000 psi and are available with an optional bleed valve and/or pressure gauge. Covers are available with or without a centre hole. Centre holes are required when an external sensor connection is required to be permanently installed. Covers with a 1/2" NPT centre hole are required where continuous monitoring of electrical probes is required. Connection of an electrical probe to a permanent monitoring instrument requires the use of a probe adapter that extends through the 1/2" hole in the cover. The probe adaptor must be ordered separately.
