Mechanical vs. inflatable plugs: Which is the right option for your job?
Advantages of inflatable: They can fit through small openings and conform to almost any shape, they are easy to store and transport, and they are generally more cost effective than mechanical plugs.
Advantages of mechanical: They don’t need to be inflated, so they do not require inflation equipment or media. Plus, they are ideal for long term pipeline blocking projects, because you don’t have to worry about them slowly deflating over time.
