Pipeline Blowers for API Flanges – Air Powered Venturi Line Blowers
Our air powered, venturi-type pipeline blowers are specifically engineered to fit API (American Petroleum Institute) flange plates. Designed for efficiency and safety, these line blowers are ideal for blowing down pipelines prior to inspection, maintenance, or repair. They can be adapted to any API flange size from 4" to 24", making them a versatile solution for a wide range of pipeline operations.
What is a Pipeline Blower?
A pipeline blower, also known as a line blower, is a device used to clear pipelines of debris, water, dust, or other obstructions. In the oil and gas industry, pipeline blowers are critical for:
- Clearing debris before hydrostatic testing or commissioning.
- Removing water, condensate, or other fluids prior to maintenance or welding.
- Ensuring pipelines are clean, dry, and safe before service resumes.
How Line Blowers Work
Pipeline blowers typically consist of:
- A high-pressure air source or compressor.
- Venturi-style blower units for maximum airflow.
- Hoses, valves, and fittings that connect directly to the API flange plate.
Once connected, compressed air is forced through the pipeline, pushing out water, scale, dirt, or other blockages into a collection point or safe discharge location.
Applications of Pipeline Blowers
Our venturi pipeline blowers can be used across a wide variety of industries, including:
- Oil & Gas Pipelines – for testing, commissioning, and pre-maintenance blowdowns.
- Water Pipelines – to remove stagnant water or debris before repair.
- Sewage & Industrial Pipelines – to clear blockages and prepare lines for inspection.
