RKSfluid 2025-09-26 16:47:57

The pig launcher and receiver are essential equipment for pipeline cleaning and pigging operations. They are designed to safely send and receive pipeline pigs in oil, gas, water, and chemical pipelines. Our units combine high-pressure reliability, durable materials, and flexible installation options, suitable for both onshore and offshore applications.

Main Components:Quick-Opening Blind Flange、Barrel Body、Reducer Pipe、Saddle Support

Technical Specifications

Pipe Size 6"-36"(customizable up to 60")
Pressure Ratings 150#-600# standard; higher ratings up to 35 MPa customizable 
Configuration Horizontal, vertical, or inclined installation 
Materials Carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel 
Design Standards ASME B31.4/B31.8, API, PED
Corrosion Allowance 2mm
Seismic Resistance Level 7
Applicable Media Crude oil, refined oil(gasoline, diesel), natural gas, water, chemical raw materials 
Applications Onshore, offshore, and deepwater pipelines

*Note: Customization is available for larger diameters, higher pressures, and special materials based on project requirements.

Operation Process:

  • Launching (Sending the Pig): Close the inlet and launch valves, open the main valve 1 to empty the launcher barrel, insert the pig through the blind flange, then close the blind flange. Open the inlet valve and the launch valve; the pig indicator shows the pig has been sent. Close the inlet and launch valves, and reopen the main valve 1.
  • Receiving (Collecting the Pig): Close the main valve 2, open the receiver and outlet valves. Once the pig indicator shows the pig has entered the receiver, open the main valve 2, then close the receiver and outlet valves. Empty the receiver barrel and open the blind flange to remove the pig.

Key Advantages:

  • High safety and reliability for high-pressure pipelines
  • Clear and intuitive operation with pig indicator
  • Suitable for multiple media including oil, gas, water, and chemicals
