🛑 Inflatable Pipeline Test Plugs (8"-48" Pipe), Back-Pressure PSI Thrust Load Lbs

Inflatable Pipe Plug Pneumatic Thrust Calculator

Size heavy multi-size inflatable pipe plugs (Cherne / Logiball) for municipal sewer air testing and storm line bypass: calculate enormous hydraulic back-pressure end thrust forces (Thrust Lbs = Back Pressure PSI x Pipe Area sq in, generating over 45,000 lbs on a 24" plug), engineered wood timber blocking braces, and municipal pipe testing margins.
