Description

This transmitter matches all pipeline pig locating systems.The sealed pressure-resistant housing withstands internal pressure and impact.It emits low-frequency electromagnetic pulses through pipe walls and soil.

Ground receivers capture signals to track real-time pig positions.Long-life lithium batteries support over 100 hours of continuous operation.Corrosion-resistant units fit oil, gas and chemical transmission pipelines.Operators predict pig paths and resolve stuck pig failures promptly.The system simplifies inspection and cuts pipeline maintenance costs.It serves daily positioning for long-distance land and station pipelines.We manufacture high-performance pig transmitters and pig receivers that allow operators to accurately monitor the location and movement of pigs within the pipeline.

PIG transmitter

Key Functions of Pig Transmitter

1. Location Tracking

   • The transmitter is installed inside or attached to a pipeline pig.

   • It emits a radio frequency (RF) signal or sometimes magnetic signals, which can be detected by external receivers placed along the pipeline.

   • This helps operators know the pig’s exact position during its run.

2. Monitoring Pig Progress

   • Operators can confirm that the pig has successfully passed certain checkpoints.b

3. Verification of Pig Passage

   • At launch and receiving stations, transmitters confirm when the pig enters and exits.

   • Along the line, receivers can detect the pig’s signal when it passes, ensuring smooth progress.

   • This lowers the risk of stuck pigs blocking pipeline flow and triggering expensive shutdowns.

Types

• Standard RF Transmitters – use electromagnetic signals.

• Magnetic Transmitters – emit a magnetic field for detection in pipelines where RF is less effective.

• Pressure/Temperature Resistant Models – designed for high-pressure, deep-water, or high-temperature pipelines.

Applications of Pig Transmitter

• Pipeline cleaning pigs – confirm progress during cleaning runs.

• Intelligent pigs (ILI tools) – transmitters provide location confirmation alongside inspection data.

• Emergency recovery – if a pig gets stuck, transmitters make it possible to pinpoint and retrieve it.

In short, a pig transmitter is like the “GPS beacon” of a pipeline pig: it doesn’t steer or clean but makes sure operators can locate and track the pig safely and efficiently.
