Power Disc

The Power Disc has similar characteristics to the Ultra Disc. The main difference is the removal of the lead cup, which is replaced by a fifth disc in the standard model. This pig is a more aggressive scraper, but the removal of the lead cup can make this model susceptible to difficult launching and travel in ultra low pressure and low flow rate systems. In systems with adequate driving force and flow rate, this pig is excellent at cleaning and purging fluids.

Options:

  • The standard model has five discs. The regular short model has 3 discs, but other variations are also available.
  • This product can be constructed without the rear driving cup, resulting in a onepiece, bidirectional disc pig.
  • 80 Durometer (Long Life Formulation) is standard, but this model is also available in 60 or 70 Durometer.
  • The standard model has a hollow core, which improves flexibility and allows the use of a transmitter if necessary. Solid core is available on any model. Solid core increases the product strength, which may be desirable in higher-pressure systems.
  • Wrap-around brushes are available in both carbon steel and stainless steel. Brushes can be used to make cleaning more aggressive, and their use is recommended before chemical batch treatments.

Ultra Disc

The Ultra Disc is a versatile cleaning, scraping, and fluid removal pipeline pig. It is solid-cast in one piece and is made of 100% polyurethane. The front cup allows for easy launching (even in low pressure systems) and the rear cup acts as the main seal to propel the pig down the line. The middle four discs are additional seal and contact points to ensure maximum cleaning and scraping action, as well as to remove as much fluid as possible.

Multiple sealing points and moderate length make this model excellent for passing through pipeline fittings such as check valves, y-laterals, and tees. It is also flexible and can negotiate most tight radius bends and minor pipeline deformities. Shorter versions, lower Durometers, and/or a hollow core should be considered if it is known that the pipeline contains short-radius 90 degree bends.

Options:

  • 80 Durometer (Long Life Formulation) is standard, but this model is also available in 60 or 70 Durometer.
  • The standard model has a hollow core, which improves flexibility and allows the use of a transmitter if necessary. Solid core is available on any model. Solid core increases the product strength, which may be desirable in higher-pressure systems.
  • Wrap-around brushes are available in both carbon steel and stainless steel. Brushes can be used to make cleaning more aggressive, and their use is recommended before chemical batch treatments.

Pig Valve Pigs

Our Pig Valve Pigs are specially designed to be fully compatible with your pig valves. The two most common types are Argus Pig Valve Pigs (VPA) and Barber Pig Valve Pigs (VPB). These two types are often differentiated by the length of the pig – the Argus valve handles longer pigs.

Options:

  • VPB is available with hollow or solid center post.
  • VPA is available in Standard or Bidirectional.
  • 80 Durometer (Long Life Formulation) is standard, but these models are also available in 60 or 70 Durometer.
