PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Hy-Ram SOU400 Squeeze Off Unit has the facility to enable four simultaneous Squeeze points to be executed. The ‘A’ Frame assembly provides the hydraulic power to squeeze the pipe to the optimum compression, (squeeze gap set by pipe stop), then the Top and Bottom Beams are very simply mechanically locked together.
This information should be made available to all persons who are required to work with or on the equipment. If in any doubt as to any aspects of this equipment, the application of this equipment or the instructions in this handbook, you should contact Hy-Ram Engineering Co Ltd. for clarification or advice. A. INTRODUCTION This manual explains about the machinery and how to use and maintain it.

3.1 Turn the vent valve to the closed position, hydraulic power is now available at the directional valve. 3.2 Turn the directional valve to the ‘Release Position’. This will effectively open the cylinders and ensure that they are fully extended and synchronised prior to squeezing off. (Notice that when the Hydraulic Cylinders reach the ends of their stroke, i.e.

Position squeeze off stops onto bottom beam and if required the addition or removal of the guide tube sleeve on the top beam for the diameter! SDR combination of the pipe to be squeezed. The squeeze off stops and the guide tube sleeves set the final squeeze gap between the beams and ensure the optimum compression of the pipe walls.
