Pigs are used daily in the operation and construction of pipelines. They may be used for a variety of reasons: (1) to clean and increase line efficiency; (2) to gage or survey the inside diameter of the pipe; (3) to separate products; and (4) to dewater lines after hydrostatic testing or for a number of other reasons. Data pertinent to pigs and pigging techniques are discussed with relation to these functions. In the first function, pigs are used to improve and maintain internal pipe cleanliness by removing contaminants and deposits in the pipe. Periodic line cleaning with pigs can be used in conjunction with corrosion mitigation measures to ensure capacity flow and rate.
