Sphere Release Mechanisms
The Pipeline Engineering Sphere Release Finger enables a multi-loaded sphere launcher to sequentially launch spheres without opening the launcher. This saves the time taken to de-pressurise and re-pressurise the system after each launch. When fitted to receivers, they allow the controlled, safe unloading of multiple spheres one at a time.
Sphere Release Mechanisms can be either manually or power operated and are generally suitable for sphere sizes 4” to 54”. The release mechanism design will either incorporate a release pin/finger or a flap arrangement.
For a multiple sphere launching capacity the launching vessel can be designed to contain up to 10 individual spheres with the launch of each controlled by a pair of release pins or flaps.
Sphere Release Mechanisms are designed to order and often form part of an integrated sphere launcher or receiver contract managed by our Pressure Vessels Business Unit.
