SUB-SEA USAGE
Using TFA15TI Sub-Sea
The TFA15TI is actuated by means of single-acting
spring-return hydraulic cylinder and can be used sub-sea
providing the following actions are taken:
•
The pump release valve is fully opened and remains
open until the tool has descended to the working
depth. This will allow the pressure to equalise.
•
The tool is actuated via the hand pump by a diver.
•
Upon completion of works the release valve is left in
the fully-open position until the tool has ascended to
the surface.
•
The tool and pump are stripped-down, cleaned and
lubricated immediately to minimise corrosion.
