Product OverviewUrethane pipeline pigs (also called polyurethane pigs) are solid-cast or foam-based elastic tools designed for pipeline cleaning, debris removal, liquid displacement, and inline inspection (ILI) preparation. Crafted from high-performance polyurethane, these pigs deliver exceptional durability, flexibility, and sealing ability, making them suitable for complex pipeline geometries and harsh operating conditions. Unlike traditional metal pigs, urethane pigs are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective, with excellent resistance to oil, chemicals, and abrasion. They effectively remove wax, scale, sludge, metal fines, and residual liquids, restoring pipeline flow efficiency and reducing corrosion risks. |  |
 | Key Features & Benefits Superior Material Performance· High-quality polyurethane (Shore A 60–98A / Shore D 75D) for optimal elasticity and wear resistance. · Withstand temperatures from -40°C to +120°C (high-temp models up to 120°C). · Excellent tear strength (>95 kN/m) and elongation at break (>550%) for long service life. |
Flexible & Navigable Design
· Negotiate 1.5D bends, valves, and diameter restrictions up to 20%.
· Bidirectional capability for versatile pigging operations.
· Custom lengths (1.5× DN standard) for optimal sealing and cleaning.
Efficient Cleaning & Sealing
· Multiple cup/disc configurations for maximum debris removal and sealing.
· Interference fit (3–9% of pipe ID) ensures tight contact with pipe walls.
· Suitable for dry/wet cleaning, dewatering, product batching, and ILI prep.
Cost-Effective & Low Maintenance
· Lightweight design reduces handling and driving pressure (≥0.3 MPa).
· Resistant to corrosion, oil, and most chemicals; no rust or degradation.
· Reusable with long service life (up to 300 km for foam models).
