2.7 Maximum Flow Rates
2.7 Maximum Flow Rates
A)
Maximum design flow rate = 22 ft/sec (7 m/sec)
B) For reducing speed, use by-pass / vent port
NOTE: The system is designed to be used in controlled stop off applications, and is not intended to be used to
stop flows in severely ruptured pipes. Flow should be reduced before attempting stop off.
3.0 Typical Site Set Up and Sequence:
It is important to understand the MCS stopping tools and their operation completely. It is also important to understand the
complete job and sequence of steps to perform a safe stop. Safety of the operators on the job site is the most important
factor so pre-plan the whole job including the stopping and retrieval sequences.
The following examples are typical installations. Example I (yellow background) illustrates stoppers positioned towards
each other. Example II (blue background) illustrates stoppers positioned away from the work area. Both configurations
work equally well. For additional set up illustrations, see Appendix B or contact your distributor / MCS representative.
Remember to consider the ancillary steps like purging / venting the area to be worked on and back pressuring stoppers for
removal. The features of the MCS60-38 offer options to make these processes efficient.
