Explanation:
Teresa,o PIG está definido abaixo, não se trata de barras de metal. O pig é um equipamento usado para a limpeza de tubulações, oleodutos, etc. ver a definição abaixo. Como tradução talvez você possa usar a frase acima pois eu nunca encontrei tradução deste "pig" para o Português!

Good Luck

Pig : A cylindrical device inserted into a pipeline to inspect the pipe or to sweep the line clean of water, rust or other foreign matter; pipeline inspection and cleaning devices are called pigs because early models squealed as they moved through the pipe. A “smart pig” is also equipped to find corrosion, cracks or weakness in the welding
