PIPELINE PIGS |

Foam Pigs Foam pigs are an inexpensive and versatile type of pipeline cleaning device. They are lightweight and easy to work with and able to negotiate uncommon piping, fittings, and valves. Sizes range from 2" to 60" standard, with densities of foam ranging from 2-pound, 5-pound, and 8-pound per cubic foot. Standard configurations include bare, criss-cross, wire brush, plastic bristle, and silicon carbide. A pig style can be identified to best suit your application by reviewing specification sheets found within each product classification. They are used for drying, cleaning, batching, and product removal operations in the oil and gas, municipality, food and beverage, mining, chemical and petrochemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

Bare
foam Pigs Bare foam pigs are primarily used for drying and sweeping of loose debris, gauging of internal pipe conditions before extensive pigging, sealing behind stuck pig, batching operations, and product removal. Models are available in 2, 5 and 8 pound per cubic foot density. The pig is constructed from an open-cell polyurethane foam with a durable polyurethane elastomer coating on base. |

Cyl
light density cylinders Pigs The CYL light-density bare swabs are constructed of 2 pound per cubic foot density foam and are NOT coated with polyurethane elastomer on base as with the LB series. They are primarily used for drying and sweeping of loose debris. However, other functions include using as a gauging pig for determining internal pipe conditions prior to extensive pigging, using as a sealing pig behind a stuck pig, using for batching and product removal, as well as, using in concrete pumping trucks between batches. WARNING: This type of pig should NOT be used where extreme low pigging pressures or volumes are present because the propelling medium may permeate through the foam, rather than push it through the line. Options and other configurations include bullet nose, double-nose, pulling rope or cable, customized diameters and lengths for special pigging applications.

HB
HEAVY-DENSITY BARE PIG Heavy-density bare pigs are constructed of 8 pound per cubic foot density foam and coated with polyurethane elastomer on base. They are used for drying and sweeping of loose debris. However, other functions include using as a gauging pig for determining internal pipe conditions prior to extensive pigging, using as a sealing pig behind a stuck pig, using for batching and product removal, and for pigging where low volumes and pressures are present. Options and other configurations include double-dish, double-nose, pulling rope or cable, transmitter or pinger cavity, jetting bypass ports, magnets, customized diameters and lengths for special pigging applications.

LB
LIGHT-DENSITY BARE SWAB Light-density bare swabs are constructed of 2 pound per cubic foot density foam and coated with polyurethane elastomer on base. They are used for drying and sweeping of loose debris. However, other functions include using as a gauging pig for determining internal pipe conditions prior to extensive pigging, using as a sealing pig behind a stuck pig, using for batching and product removal, and for pigging where low volumes and pressures are present. Options and other configurations include coating at both ends, bullet nose, double-nose, pulling rope or cable, transmitter or pinger cavity, jetting bypass ports, magnets, customized diameters and lengths for special pigging applications.

MB
MEDIUM-DENSITY BARE PIG Medium-density bare pigs are constructed of 5 pound per cubic foot density foam and coated with polyurethane elastomer on base. They are used for drying and sweeping of loose debris. However, other functions include using as a gauging pig for determining internal pipe conditions prior to extensive pigging, using as a sealing pig behind a stuck pig, using for batching and product removal, and for pigging where low volumes and pressures are present. Options and other configurations include double-dish, double-nose, pulling rope or cable, transmitter or pinger cavity, jetting bypass ports, magnets, customized diameters and lengths for special pigging applications.
