Description
A foam pig is a soft, cylinder-shaped tool made from foam rubber or plastic. It has a pointed front and is often covered with tough materials to scrub the pipe. Its softness allows it to easily move through curves in pipelines. Foam pigs mainly work in drying and cleaning the insides of pipes. They can also help remove dirt and rust when fitted with extra tools, and they’re used for pipeline inspections and tracking.
There are two main types of foam pigs. One is made from sponge, which is easy to produce and cheaper, but it can break easily and doesn’t last as long. The other is made from polyurethane, which is more durable and lasts longer, but it’s more expensive to make because it needs special molds and costly materials.
The Soft Foam Pig Can Be Used In:
- Drying and wiping pipelines
- Line proving
- Pigging multi-diameter pipelines
- A sealing pig
EMT foam pigs are specifically manufactured for pipeline cleaning. They are disposable and maintenance-free, making them a great choice for tasks like pipe cleaning and wiping. As an established manufacturer, EMT produces a full range of pigs, including bare foam pigs, fully coated foam pigs, criss-cross foam pigs, and brush pigs.
Precautions for Use
Before cleaning debris inside the pipe, it’s important to have a clear understanding of its interior. This ensures a smooth clean-up process. Consider the actual condition of the pipeline for effective cleaning and other operations. Use detailed pipe parameters to guide the cleaning process.
To extend the life of the pipes and maintain optimal flow efficiency, regularly use a foam pig for cleaning and maintenance. In many cases, the foam pig is disposable. Therefore, if you notice any damage to the foam pig, replace it promptly to ensure effective pipeline cleaning.
Applications
Debris Removal
To maintain optimal flow efficiency, it’s crucial to clear out loose debris and dirt from pipelines. This process involves using specialized foam pigs that effectively sweep through the pipeline, dislodging accumulated particles. By regularly removing debris, you prevent blockages that can lead to decreased performance or even damage. Ensuring pipelines remain clear not only enhances efficiency but also extends the lifespan of the infrastructure.
Drying
After hydrostatic testing or cleaning, pipelines often contain residual moisture that can lead to corrosion or contamination. Foam pigs designed for drying help remove this moisture effectively. When they travel through the pipeline, they absorb and push out any remaining water, leaving the interior dry and ready for operation. Therefore, this step is vital in preventing rust and maintaining the integrity of the pipeline system.
Regular Maintenance
Routine use of foam pigs for maintenance is essential to keep pipelines clean and free from buildup. Over time, even small residues can accumulate, leading to inefficiencies and potential blockages. By incorporating regular pigging into your maintenance schedule, you ensure that pipelines remain in top condition. Therefore this proactive approach reduces the risk of costly repairs and downtime, ultimately supporting smooth and efficient operations.
