Mechanical Interference Fit (MIF) Pipeline Connection
Our Mechanical Interference Fit (MIF) technology offers a high-performance, weld-free solution for connecting pipelines with superior strength, sealing integrity, and long-term reliability. Designed for both coated and uncoated pipes ranging from 4” to 16”, this technology ensures fast, safe, and consistent installation across various terrains and weather conditions.
The process begins with simple, precision pipe-end preparation that does not affect pipe metallurgy or extend project schedules. Pipe joints are then assembled using controlled hydraulic force supported by a specialized epoxy, creating a robust metal-to-metal interference fit capable of withstanding high pressures and demanding operating environments. Each connection can be completed in under one minute, eliminating the need for welding, hot work, or weld inspection equipment.
By delivering strong leak-resistant joints, enhancing operational safety, and reducing installation time, MIF technology provides a dependable and cost-effective alternative for modern pipeline projects. The result is improved system integrity, reduced operational risks, and reliable performance from installation through long-term operation.
