How much pressure will the Cryostop™ freeze plugs hold?
How much pressure will your pipe hold? A “high pressure” Cryostop™ freeze plug will hold even when pressure behind it is raised to cause stresses greater than 100% SMYS of the pipe. In fact, full scale laboratory tests even discovered that the Cryostop™ freeze plug locked into a severely damaged pipe held these over-stresses, for reasons that are just now being understood.
