Pigs are manufactured in various designs and sizes, with or without brushes, and are equipped with polyurethane or compressed rubber cups. Pigs are used at the end of pipeline operations to clean the internal surface of the pipe and prepare it for fluid injection—such as oil, gas, water, and other products—as well as for pipeline testing and leak detection. Different types and sizes of pigs are produced by the specialized team at Khatran Industrial Group.
As mentioned, pigs are also used to test the pipeline route and are equipped with dedicated launchers and receivers. Pigging is a professional and specialized operation that requires expert technicians in the field.
