VISCOTAQ passes 5 psi pressure test for casing end seals at Mears Engineering.

The VISCOTAQ system for casing end seals was applied on a 30 inch pipe with a 34 inch casing. The 30 inch pipe was placed in an angle and was off center. The application took approximately 1 hour per side. The system was pressure tested at 5 psi and no air leaks were found. Since not many products can handle this application, with the pipe off center, VISCOTAQ can be regarded as an easy to install, waterproof and long term solution for casing end seals.
