PIG LAUNCHING & RECEIVING SEQUENCE

LAUNCHING

Pigging Valve Launching
1
Ensure the valve is in the closed position. Vent the body cavity with the bleed fitting on the Entry Cap.
After valve is vented, the body fittings may be opened to drain or flush the valve.
Pigging Valve Launching
2
After venting the body cavity pressure, remove the entry cap and insert the pig through the opening.
CAUTION: When unscrewing, if gas or liquids start to emerge STOP! Screw Entry Cap back on and verify Step 1.
Pigging Valve Launching
3
Stand facing the valve stem to insert the Pig.
NOTE:
  • Install Pig conical side DOWN if flow is from left to right.
  • Install Pig conical side UP if flow is from right to left.
Pigging Valve Launching
4
Before re-installing the Entry Cap on the valve, inspect seal integrity. Then, after ensuring the bleed fitting and all body fittings are closed - open the valve to launch the pig.
RECEIVING

Pigging Valve Launching
1
Verify valve is installed as a receiver pig valve with the catcher plate downstream of the flow.
Pigging Valve Launching
2
When the pig is received, close the valve. Vent the body cavity chamber with the bleed fitting on the entry cap. After the valve is vented, the body fittings may be opened to drain or flush the valve, if necessary.
Pigging Valve Launching
3
Inspect all seals on the Entry Cap to ensure seal integrity. Reinstall the Entry Cap on the valve. Ensure the bleed fitting and all body fittings are closed. Open valve.
NOTE: For easier operation, apply anti-seize to the ACME threads of the Entry Cap.
CAUTION: Always dispose of hazardous materials appropriately.

TAKE A LOOK INSIDE


  1. Forged Body - Provides structural integrity.
  2. Ball - Maximized sealing surface for reliable isolation.
  3. Catcher Plate - Prevents overtravel of Pig and contains it in the bore of Ball
  4. Seat - Provides a perfect seal.
  5. Body Seal - Prevents leakage to atmosphere. Variety of materials available to suit application.
  6. Stem Seal - Protects against leakage to atmosphere.
  7. Trunnion Bearing - Helps ensure consistent operating torque.
  8. Stem - High strength for maximum safety.
  9. ISO Mounting Bracket - Standardizes Gear and Actuator mounting.
  10. Safety Valve - Prevents opening of Closure without proper cavity and Ball bore pressure relief.
  11. Ball Bore and Cavity Relief - Allows pressure contained in Ball bore to be relieved in order for Closure to be opened.

FUGITIVE EMISSION TESTING

HELPING TO REDUCE EMISSIONS ON A GLOBAL SCALE
Why use Helium in Fugitive Emissions Testing?\It provides the most sensitive and up-to-date method of testing.Helium is a safe and inert gas.
Helium is a very searching gas and therefore readily penetratesminute leaks.
It’s a proven technology that simulates live conditions Nocontamination of the atmosphere due to helium being non-toxic, non-hazardous and non-destructive Fugitive Emissions Testing Capabilities:
