1. Introduction
Pipeline cleaning pig is a special type of foam pig. It is a tool used in the industrial pipe cleaning process. You can use the cleaning pig to pass through the piping system to remove scale, sediment, liquid or other contaminants from the inner walls that may affect the performance of the piping. Moreover, you can also use the pipeline cleaning pig in the following situations such as batching, dewatering, cleaning, and drying.
Pig is a special tool used to clean a pipeline driven by a gas, liquid or pipeline transport medium. It can carry electromagnetic transmitters and ground receiving instruments together to form an electronic tracking system. It can also be equipped with other accessories to complete a variety of complex pipe tasks.
These densities include soft (35kg/m³), medium (120kg/m³), and hard(220kg/m³).You can choose to use different types of pipe cleaning pigs depend on your needs. Made of lightweight material, the cleaning pigs are lighter compare with other common foam pigs. Because of these good features, the pig have a wide range of use in many fields.
Therefore, the main function of pipeline cleaning pig is to improve the efficiency of a pipe. EMT Products carries a full range of pigs and our friendly staff will help you decide which one is right for your job. If you have any questions about our pipeline cleaning pigs, learn the following information.
2. Why choose to use a pipeline cleaning pig?
We need to maintain and clean it in time to ensure the unobstructed interior of the pipeline. If you do not clean the pipe for a long time, there will be a lot of garbage inside the pipeline. It will affect the service life of the pipe. Also, it is not conducive to the smooth progress of the project. Therefore, we need to use foam pigs to detect the interior in time.
Pipeline cleaning pig is generally less costly than some mechanical cleaning methods. You can use the foam pig while the system is running, reducing the time that must be shut down for maintenance.
Also, the foam pig can effectively move along the pipe, covering the entire inner surface of the pipe, removing sediment and impurities. It can adapt to changes in the inner diameter of the pipe. Even the curved parts and narrow areas in the pipe can be reached and cleaned by foam pigs.

3. Evaluate the cleaning effect of pipeline cleaning pig
- Visual inspection:After the cleaning process, you can inspect directly to the parts of the pipeline to confirm whether there is still sediment on the inner wall. You can use an endoscope or other pipe inspection camera equipment.
- Foam pig status:
Check the condition of the pipeline cleaning pig after it comes out of the pipe. Also, you can know if there is a large amount of residue attached to it. Residue on the surface of the foam ball can provide information about the extent of dirt and scale inside the pipe.
Fluid quality monitoring:
Monitor the quality of the fluid passing through the pipe before and after cleaning, such as color, turbidity, chemical composition, etc., to evaluate the cleaning effect. Moreover, by analyzing the sample results, it is possible to determine whether the cleaning process has effectively removed sediment from the inner wall.
- Pressure and flow tests:Measure and compare pipe pressure and flow before and after cleaning. It is usually expected that the flow rate will increase while the pressure loss will decrease. The improvement of these physical parameters indicates that the sediment inside the pipe is effectively removed.
Follow-up effect evaluation:
The efficiency of the piping system is regularly monitored to evaluate the cleaning effect in the long term. Also, if the cleaning process is effective, the piping system should exhibit more stable performance and lower maintenance requirements.
4. Conclusion
The pipeline cleaning pig is a versatile type of pipeline cleaning device. Therefore, it can be used to clean the pipe and other functions. A few of the industries utilizing foam pigs are the oil and gas, municipality, food and beverage, mining.
Common configurations include bare, criss-cross, wire-brush, plastic bristle, and silicon carbide. With various design options, you can choose to use different types of pigs according to your needs. Also, if you have any question about it, please contact us to learn more about our products.
