A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING PRESSURE AND REMOVING FLUID FROM BEHIND A FLANGE OF A PIPELINE

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and method of inspecting and relieving pressure and fluid from a pipeline in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. An adjustable insert (35) is placed within a flange of the pipeline, where the adjustable insert has a valve stem (65) capable of moving into contact with a valve device (20) to regulate fluid or gas from the pipeline and one or more outlets for relieving pressure or withdrawing fluid from the pipeline. The system and method provided are capable of operating in a closed process without loosening or removing a flange of the pipeline, thereby improving pipeline operator safety.
