Sentry Equipment Corp
General Description
The Sentry® Saf-T-Vise STV-HP1 and STV-HP3 insertable tool
holders are multi-functional tools that can be equipped to
monitor pipeline corrosion, inject chemical into the process,
or sample the pipeline medium The holders are engineered
to specific site applications with a variety of materials and
connection styles and sizes Design pressure and temperature
requirements determine the model series and sealing
technology of the holder
The holders are designed with a patented locking collet which
secures the rod/shaft within the process stream until released
by the operator A process bleeder valve is standard on holders
to allow depressurization of the holder after closure of the
process isolation valve The ability to fully retract the rod/shaft
out of the pipeline while under pressure allows for pigging
without bringing the line down
The standard Saf-T-Vise STV-HP1 and STV-HP3 models require
the use of an insertion tool
