Pig Tracking Equipment Overview
Pig tracking systems are essential for pipeline maintenance operations, allowing operators to monitor the progress of pipeline inspection gauges (PIGs) as they travel through pipelines. Our systems typically consist of:

Pig Transmitter (Tracking Transmitter)
- A device mounted on or integrated with the pipeline inspection gauge
- Emits a detectable signal (usually electromagnetic) as the pig travels through the pipeline
- Designed to withstand pipeline operating conditions (pressure, temperature, fluid types)
- Battery-powered with extended operational life
- Available in various frequencies to suit different pipeline conditions and depths
Receiver (Tracking Receiver)
- Handheld or vehicle-mounted detection device used above ground
- Picks up the signal emitted by the transmitter
- Provides location, depth, and signal strength information
- Typically features audible and visual indicators
- Some models include GPS integration for precise location mapping
Typical Applications
- Monitoring pig movement during cleaning operations
- Locating stuck pigs in pipelines
- Verifying pig passage through pipeline sections
- Pipeline integrity assessment operations
- Pre-commissioning pipeline verification
