The continued development of Mechanical Connector technology has enabled
Hydratight to expand its product range to include Riser Hang-off Systems,
Remote Bolting Systems and Repair Sleeve Clamps.
Hydratight’s innovative designs have produced a pipe connection which is
equivalent in strength and sealing performance to that of a welded joint. This can
be reliably achieved without hot work and far more safely, simply and quickly
than a welded joint.

Repairs
Hydratight’s range of Riser Hang-off Systems provide hang
off solutions for pre-stressed, retrofit, turret based and steel
catenery applications.
Although Hydratight’s Mechanical Connectors are
used extensively on new construction projects,
the connector was initially developed for, and is
still widely used, for pipeline repairs.
The pre-stressed hang-off allows high temperature, high load
risers to be locked in position at the hang-off point to minimize
load transfer effects.
The retrofit system has the ability to lock rigid risers in position
as they are pulled through existing or pre-installed j-tubes on a
fixed platform.

Hydratight’s range of Mechanical Connectors offer versatile
solutions to the problem of bare pipe connections. Their design
is adapted to suit applications ranging from high temperature,
high pressure hydrocarbon service lines fitted on the topside of
offshore platforms, through to the supply of connectors capable
of being remotely installed in over 3,280ft of water.
The system provides a connection that is equal in strength to a
weld and has DNV and Lloyds Type approvals, stating that the
Couplings may be used as a permanent or temporary substitute
for welded connections.
As well as providing Mechanical Connectors
for permanent pipeline repairs, Hydratight has
also supplied temporary repair clamps, capable
of sealing minor pipeline leaks or restoring the
structural integrity of damaged or corroded pipes.
Hydratight is now the accepted and preferred
repair system for many oil & gas operators
world-wide. The industry’s confidence in
Hydratight’s products and capability has led
to the organization establishing an Emergency
Pipeline Repair System (EPRS) Club initially for
the North Sea, but now covering other key oil and
gas locations around the world.
The increased use of steel catenery risers for deepwater
applications has led to Hydratight developing a rotary
hang-off system.

Hydratight has gained an enviable track record having been used
by the majority of major energy companies for both pipeline
tie-ins and emergency repairs for thousands of critical topside
and subsea applications.
Misalignment flange
For turret based FPSOs, Hydratight offers a hang-off which
enables the flexible riser to be pulled into and locked in the
turret before the riser is released and pulled through to its
upper connection.

The versatility of the Mechanical Connector
design enables it to be used in many different
scenarios, whether making a bare pipe repair or
inserting flanged spools.

The oil and gas industry’s requirement to develop deepwater
fields has enabled Hydratight to further develop its remote
technology. This generation of remote Mechanical Connectors
has led to the development of remote bolting systems, which
allow both Connectors and Clamps to be bolted securely
without the need for diver intervention. These diverless repairs
have been performed on pipelines with a diameter of up to 30",
however the technology has full approval for up to 42" diameter.

The continued development of Mechanical Connector technology has enabled
Hydratight to expand its product range to include Riser Hang-off Systems,
Remote Bolting Systems and Repair Sleeve Clamps.
Hydratight’s innovative designs have produced a pipe connection which is
equivalent in strength and sealing performance to that of a welded joint. This can
be reliably achieved without hot work and far more safely, simply and quickly
than a welded joint.

Hydratight’s range of Riser Hang-off Systems provide hang
off solutions for pre-stressed, retrofit, turret based and steel
catenery applications.
Although Hydratight’s Mechanical Connectors are
used extensively on new construction projects,
the connector was initially developed for, and is
still widely used, for pipeline repairs.
The pre-stressed hang-off allows high temperature, high load
risers to be locked in position at the hang-off point to minimize
load transfer effects.
The retrofit system has the ability to lock rigid risers in position
as they are pulled through existing or pre-installed j-tubes on a
fixed platform.

Hydratight’s range of Mechanical Connectors offer versatile
solutions to the problem of bare pipe connections. Their design
is adapted to suit applications ranging from high temperature,
high pressure hydrocarbon service lines fitted on the topside of
offshore platforms, through to the supply of connectors capable
of being remotely installed in over 3,280ft of water.
The system provides a connection that is equal in strength to a
weld and has DNV and Lloyds Type approvals, stating that the
Couplings may be used as a permanent or temporary substitute
for welded connections.
As well as providing Mechanical Connectors
for permanent pipeline repairs, Hydratight has
also supplied temporary repair clamps, capable
of sealing minor pipeline leaks or restoring the
structural integrity of damaged or corroded pipes.
Hydratight is now the accepted and preferred
repair system for many oil & gas operators
world-wide. The industry’s confidence in
Hydratight’s products and capability has led
to the organization establishing an Emergency
Pipeline Repair System (EPRS) Club initially for
the North Sea, but now covering other key oil and
gas locations around the world.
The increased use of steel catenery risers for deepwater
applications has led to Hydratight developing a rotary
hang-off system.

Hydratight has gained an enviable track record having been used
by the majority of major energy companies for both pipeline
tie-ins and emergency repairs for thousands of critical topside
and subsea applications.

For turret based FPSOs, Hydratight offers a hang-off which
enables the flexible riser to be pulled into and locked in the
turret before the riser is released and pulled through to its
upper connection.

MORGRIP
CLIP CONNECTORS
PRODUCT GROUP
MORGRIP CLAMPS
& CONNECTORS
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The MORGRIP Clad & Lined Pipe (CLiP) Connector is the only
DNV-GL Type Approved method to permanently repair pipelines
which are clad or lined with corrosion resistant alloy (CRA).
These pipeline systems cannot be repaired in the conventional
manner as the pipe media, if allowed to bypass the CRA, will
penetrate the base metal leading to failure.
Developed under a joint industry project with 2 major operators and witnessed throughout by DNV-GL in accordance with
RP-A203 Technology Qualification, MORGRIP CLiP provides a
reliable, repeatable, permanent repair that does not prevent pigging operations or other long term inspection and maintenance
programs.
Deploying an End Seal Module that is fitted to conventional MORGRIP designs, including onshore, topside, subsea and
remote deepwater connectors, the technology uses graphite
seals that engage onto the pipe inner diameter, ensuring continuation of the CRA lining.
MORGRIP CLiP Connectors, ideal for emergency repair, planned
shutdown or contingency stock, are based on over 30 years of
MORGRIP technology and application. Quicker, easier, safer and
significantly cheaper than complex hyperbaric welding or pipeline replacement.
CAPACITIES
Pipeline size
10” to 26”
Material
Carbon steel pipeline clad or lined with
corrosion resistant alloy
Temperature
-40degC to 149degC
Working Pressure
Up to 364Bar
For applications outside of this scope, bespoke engineered solutions are available.
