pipeline pigging Explanation: Pigging in the context of pipelines refers to the practice of using devices known as "pigs" to perform various maintenance operations. This is done without stopping the flow of the product in the pipeline. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigging While buildup in a pipeline can cause transmittal slows or even plugging of the pipeline, cracks or flaws in the line can be disastrous. A form of flow assurance for oil and gas pipelines and flowlines, pipeline pigging ensures the line is running smoothly. http://www.rigzone.com/training/insight.asp?insight_id=310 What Do We Really Know About Pipeline Pigging And Cleaning? https://pgjonline.com/2009/08/19/what-do-we-really-know-abou... |
