Case Study: Tubing for Mining & Fuel Research Lab: Dhanbad, Jharkand, INDIA
Aneer Engineers, a leading gas solutions provider was awarded with completing the tubing for a Mining & Fuel Research Lab in CSIR-CIMFR (Central Institute for Mining and Fuel Research) - a Government of India Undertaking.
The tubing had to be done for variety of Gases like Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen(O2), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon, Monoxide (CO), Helium (He), Hydrogen (H2), Argon (Ar), Methane (CH4), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Acetylene (C2H2). All fittings lines were of 1/4” OD.The tubing, as they contained gases had to be routed at a height and away from the reach of access so that there was no danger in case of tube damage and leak.
Aneer Engineers, a company which believes in providing quality solutions chose Pyplok® as the tube connection system for this job. Reasons being the benefits Pyplok® offers in terms of saving time, comfort in working at heights, being tamper proof and reliability in the long term.
Important Specs of the tubing system are as follows:-

Important Specs of the tubing system are as follows:-
- Technology : PYPLOK®
- Tube Size : 1/4" Imperial OD SS316L
- System Pressure : 4 to 10 bar (Based on the Medium)
- Piping Length : Approx 1300 mtr
Above Images show the testing lab (left) and the supply manifold station (right)
Above images showing the PYPLOK® installer installing PYPLOK® onto the tubing. As seen above, the installation in sequence - a) Check and prepare the tube end b) Crimp the fitting and c) Check and verify for proper crimp.
The fittings shown in the above picture was crimped in a matter of 5 minutes (including tube surface preparation). This shows the speed and ease of installing PYPLOK® in difficult areas.
Once all the lines where connected by PYPLOK®, the system was pressure tested. The pressure test was done by the respective system gases and held for a period of 24 hrs and checked for leak in the gauges (at the manifold and the lab)
Helium Line Pressurized with Helium Gas to 12 bar and succesfully Held
The speed and efficiency of PYPLOK® was highly appreciated by our customer and PYPLOK® was strongly recommended to be used for future projects.
