Intelligent pigging, also known as inline inspection, is an inspection technique used to assess the condition of pipelines used to transport oil, gas and other fluids without disrupting the flow. Intelligent pigs employ ultrasonic inspection tools, geometry pigs and magnetometer tools to detect corrosion, cracks and dents in the pipelines. With increasing aging pipeline infrastructure, there is a growing need for condition monitoring systems to ensure pipeline integrity and prevent leakages ... Read more
Intelligent pigging, also known as in-line inspection, is a technique of using smart pig devices known as intelligent pig or inline inspection tools to inspect and monitor the condition of oil and gas pipelines from inside without disrupting the flow of the product being transported. Intelligent pigging helps in monitoring wall thickness, corrosion, cracks and defects, and geometry within the pipeline to ensure pipeline integrity and safety. The global intelligent pigging market is ... Read more
Intelligent Pigging: The Future of Pipeline Inspection and Maintenance
Introduction to Pigging Technology
Pigging refers to the process of using pipelines cleaning devices known as pigs to perform maintenance tasks inside pipelines. Traditionally, basic pigging devices known as dumb pigs were used mainly for cleaning purposes. However, over the last few decades, advanced intelligent pigging technology has emerged which ...
