Monitoring System

The non-bonded, pipe-within-a-pipe nature of the Tite Liner® System allows continuous monitoring of the completed system. Thread-o-lets are welded onto the steel pipe at each end of a lined section of pipeline and a small hole drilled in the center of the thread-o-let through the steel pipe wall only. A riser pipe then connects the thread-o-let to a valve as shown in the illustration below. Common practice is to routinely open this valve to ensure that the system is intact. The absence of fluid flowing through the valve is positive proof that the liner pipe continues to provide a protective barrier.
