OVERVIEW

The HMP™_TE Taper pipe coupling is a high pressure pipe coupling, designed as an easy method of joining pipes. Also commonly termed quick couplings for steel pipes, the HMP™_TE couplings are used in high pressure piping systems. It speeds up installation time drastically when compared to flanges. The HMP™_TE was re-engineered by the Hydromine Projects International to be interchangeable with the original Anglo American / TE taper pipe coupling.

Using the HMP™_TE coupling will result in lower total capital expenditure due to the fact that it has a lower procurement cost, more pipes can be loaded per truck or rail carriage load, it takes less space when stored and most importantly, there will be a saving on labour as installation is quicker and easier than flanges. It can be installed in vertical mine shafts, inclines or horizontally. The HMP™_TE coupling can be used in pipe lines carrying liquids or abrasive material and is perfect for mining backfill pipes. The HMP™ U-Coupling is newer technology and more cost effective than the HMP™_TE coupling.

The HMP™_TE pipe coupling can be installed in a system where pipes hang on chains, parrot swings or are U-Bolted  down onto pipe supports. Pipes should be anchored before and after every change of direction. The full range of HMP™ valves, expansion joints and energy dissipator can be manufactured with HMP™_TE coupling end connections.
