Powertrack International's New “Union Fittings” Eliminate Leak Points On High Pressure Hoses

Press Release
July, 2011

 

With the introduction of Powertrack’s “Integral Figure 602 and 1502 Union Fittings”, Powertrack’s 5000psi Kelly Hose and Mud Pump Hoses have eliminated 2 leak points per hose and the added expense of x-ray’ing weld points.  The “Integral Union Fittings” are essentially manufactured with the high pressure hammer union and the high pressure hose barb combined from one solid piece of metal. 

 

This becomes particularly useful on drilling platforms on the ocean or on land rigs where leak points are a concern.  Historically, the common practice was to thread and then weld a hammer union to the standard API male fitting.  The connection is then x-ray’d to insure that the joint is properly sealed. 

 

Clearly, the benefits provided by this new innovation will be seen by increased time saving and productivity, an overall lower price of the product as well as a much “GREENER” solution— no spills!
