BLUE OCEAN OIL IS THE APPROVED REPRESENTATIVE FOR STEALTH-LOCK IN AFRICA.
DESCRIPTION
Stealth-Lock™ MIF (Mechanical Interference Fit) mechanical connections have been widely applied in service over three decades. AGODCO has developed the MIF connections to be confidently acceptable for application with CS (carbon steel), FBE (fusion bonded epoxy), 3LPP (3 layer polypropylene) and PE (polyethylene) Liner applications. Our MIF connection is cold-formed from standard API 5L line pipe, with proven integrity and, at a construction rate of up to 2km per day per crew, it is unique in commercial and productivity values.
