Inhlanganisela eyingqayizivele ye-Hikelok yama-block aphindwe kabili nama-valve esistimu yokopha inika amandla ukushintshwa okushelelayo kusuka ohlelweni lwamapayipi enqubo kuya ku-instrumentation, ihlinzeka ngamaphuzu avuzayo ambalwa, isisindo esifakiwe esiphansi, kanye nemvilophu yesikhala esincane.
I-Hikelok block kanye nama-valve okopha aklanyelwe ukucubungula izindawo zokuhlukanisa amapayipi, ukukhweza okuqondile kumathuluzi, ukuhlanganisa amathuluzi okuvala, ukuvimba okuphindwe kabili kanye nokuhlukaniswa ukopha, ama-vents nama-drain.
I-Hikelokingomunye wabakhiqizi abahamba phambili abangochwepheshe bamavalvu ensimbi nokufakwa eChina.Ukukhethwa nokuhlolwa kwempahla eqinile, ubuchwepheshe obusezingeni eliphezulu bokucutshungulwa, ukulawulwa kwenqubo yokukhiqiza okushelelayo kanye nokukhiqizwa kochwepheshe kanye nokuhlola abasebenzi kuphelezela imikhiqizo., ukudala amakhulukhulu ekhwalithi ephezuluama-valvefuthiokokufaka. Kuyinketho engcono kakhulu yokuthenga kwakho okukodwa, ukonga isikhathi namandla.
Ngemva kweminyaka yemizamo, u-Hikelok usephenduke umphakeli wamakhasimende aziwayo njengeSinopec, PetroChina, CNOOC, SSGC, Siemens, ABB, Emerson, TYCO, Honeywell, Gazprom, Rosneft kanye neGeneral Electric. I-Hikelok izuze ukunconywa ngazwi linye kumakhasimende ngenxaukuphathwa kochwepheshe, ubuchwepheshe obuvuthiwe kanye nenkonzo eqotho.
