Batching/Cup pigs, also called as unidirectional pigs are generally made with 2 or 4 cups attached to the steel mandrel. They are mainly used to separate dissimilar fluids such as gasoline, heating oil, etc.
These pigs are used for gauging the dimensions of the pipeline before the product is launched in the pipeline.
They serve the purpose of light cleaning, line filling, dewatering, batch separation etc.
For short distance batching and dewatering applications, rubber cups of neoprene /nitrile rubber are used.
We offer batch/cup pigs in sizes ranging from 3” to 72” of different pipe schedule.
Cup Pigs Batch Brush
Cup pigs with brushes are used for cleaning pipelines in mining & construction industries.
These pigs are used to clean pipelines with heavier surface contamination. They have a very tight sealing capacity compared to normal pigs.
The brushes used are either metal or nylon as the duty demands.
Cup Pigs Gauge Pigs
The purpose of these pigs is to check the pipelines inner surface for any damage (dent or bend).
They it also help decide ensures whether full geometrical survey is necessary – a sort of GO or NO-GO gauge.
Cup Magnetic Pigs
A magnetic pig usually forms part of the cleaning sequence. This is to remove ferrous debris which would otherwise contaminate the oil or gas that flows.
Scrapper
The cleaning pig acts as a SCRAPPER & this is why it is also called as a SCRAPPER PIG. It scraps thoroughly throughout its journey inside the pipeline removing mill scales, debris, rust, small stones, welding electrodes, etc. from the pipeline
Scrapper cup promotes longer cup life, while the pressure of the product keeps the cutting edge against the pipe wall and ensures an optimum seal.
We offer scrapper pigs in sizes ranging from 3” to 50” of different pipe schedule.
