Foam Spheres
 
   
  Foam spheres are available in various styles as with foam pigs, including bare, criss-cross, silicon-carbide, wirebrush and plastic bristle. They are used for the same applications as standard foam pigs, however, they are able to negotiate some piping configurations that standard foam pigs cannot, as well as, being capable of multiple units being stacked in specially designed sphere launcher and mechanically launched.

Medium-density criss-cross spheres are constructed of 5 pound per cubic foot density foam and coated with polyurethane elastomer in criss-cross pattern. They are used for regular-duty wiping, batching and product-removal applications. Options and other configurations include customized diameters for special pigging applications.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Foam Wiping Pigs
 
   
 

The FWP series of foam wiping pigs are an excellent pig for all types of batching and product removal applications. The unique design offers multiple discs and a rear sealing cup for unsurpassed sealing capabilities. The FWP series is also available with brush wraps for cleaning applications.

The FWP5 pig is equipped with bullet nose, multiple discs, and cup-shaped rear. It's constructed from medium-density open-cell polyurethane foam with a high-grade abrasion and chemical resistant polyurethane elastomer coating. The multiple sealing discs and rear cup make it an excellent pig for regular wiping, batching, dewatering and product removal.

Options include bare (no coating); varying gauges of wirebrush and plastic bristle; dual-diameter configuration; pulling rope or cable; transmitter or pinger cavity; magnets; customized diameters and lengths for special pigging applications.

 
 
 
 
 
 
  Steel Pigs

Steel pigs are a more long-term, long-life pig. They consist of a steel mandrel body with replaceable sealing elements (cups and discs). They can also be equipped with abrasive components (brushes and blades) for removing deposits on the interior pipe wall. The advantage of steel pigs is the ability to replace the wearing components, thereby rendering it a new pig. Individual specification sheets, found within each product classification, outline the different types of applications and options.
 

Brush Cleaning Pigs
 
Brush cleaning pigs are used during pre-commission and on-stream cleaning where rust, millscale, sand, wax, organic growth, mud, oxides, and other foreign matter exist. Sizes range from 2" through 48", with brush configurations including wire wheel, split-ring, wrap-around, and spring mounted. When equipped with a gauging plate, they are used to prove pipe roundness and to ensure excessive weld penetration or debris does not exist. Also, they are used to prove minimum bend radius prior to intelligent pig use.
 

Disc Replacement Pigs
 
Disc displacement pigs are used for standard pigging operations such as filling and dewatering during hydrostatic testing, routine batching operations, product removal, or any pigging operation requiring bidirectional use. These pigs are also very effective for product separation. They are available in sizes from 2" through 48" with configurations including 2-disc and 4-disc as standard. When equipped with a gauging plate, they are used to prove pipe roundness and to ensure excessive weld penetration or debris does not exist. Also, they are used to prove minimum bend radius prior to intelligent pig use.
 

 


Multi Disc


Multi-disc design allows for excellent sealing capabilities for performing the duties of batching, gauging, product removal, pre-commission and on-stream cleaning, or any pigging operation requiring bidirectional use. Equipped with gauging plate, pig is used to prove pipe roundness and to ensure excessive weld penetration or debris does not exist. Also used to prove minimum bend radius prior to intelligent pig use.
