Foam Pigs
Foam pigs are one of the most versatile solutions for dual-diameter pipelines due to their flexibility and adaptability. Constructed from open-cell polyurethane foam, these pigs are lightweight, highly compressible, and can easily pass through varying pipeline diameters while maintaining contact with the internal walls. This makes them ideal for cleaning, dewatering, and batching applications.
Flexibility and Adaptability
Foam pigs excel in navigating pipelines with diameter transitions, ensuring effective cleaning without compromising on performance. They can compress by up to 70% of their original size and still maintain their integrity, which is essential for pipelines with significant diameter differences, such as 10” to 8” or 16” to 12” transitions.
Applications
Foam pigs are suitable for multiple tasks, including:
Dewatering after hydrostatic testing or during commissioning.
Removal of light debris and dust in pipelines.
Product separation, particularly in dual-diameter liquid pipelines, where contamination between different fluids needs to be minimized.
Performance in Various Conditions
As per studies referenced on Pigging Smarter, foam pigs maintain up to 98% pipeline coverage in dual-diameter systems, ensuring comprehensive cleaning even in complex geometries. Their lightweight nature allows for easier handling and launching, reducing the risk of getting stuck in multi- diameter lines.
