Hot Tapping Selected Process Fluids

Notes:
1. If piping containing ethylene, butadiene, or acetylene is to be hot tapped, special precautions
must be taken to maintain circulation and prevent overheating and thermal decomposition
(with possible explosion) of the contents.
2. In general, hot tapping is not allowed on piping that is cold enough to be below the ambient
dew point temperature. This is because the moisture formed on the outside of the pipe will
make the welding impractical, as already mentioned.
