Introduction to 20 mm Adjustable Pig Detector

The Pig Detector is a crucial tool in the oil and gas industry, designed to detect the passage of pipe cleaning pigs. As a pig passes by, the signaller triggers a response to indicate the pig’s movement through the pipeline. Various types of pig signallers exist, each with unique methods of indicating pig passage. For example, some models use a flag to show the direction the pig has traveled, while others incorporate electronic signals that display the passage date and time on a digital screen.

In this image, the Flange Connection 20 mm Adjustable Pig Detector is of the intrusive type. It attaches directly to the pipeline via a flange connection. Users can adjust the insertion depth into the pipe by up to 20mm. This specific model features both a manual reset sign and an electronic signal. It operates bidirectionally. We also offer a unidirectional option tailored to customer requirements.

Intrusive pig signalers are installed within the pipeline and make physical contact with the pig as it passes. These devices can be equipped with a mechanical switch, a magnet, or another type of signal transmitter that activates upon contact with the pig. The installation of intrusive pig signalers typically requires special pipe fittings to facilitate their insertion and removal.

Advantages of the Pig Detector

Flange Connection
Flange connections are fundamentally beneficial in creating a secure and reliable joint in pipeline systems. They provide a tight seal that effectively prevents any leakages. The straightforward nature of their installation helps in reducing the time required to set up. Flange connections are also easy to disassemble, facilitating maintenance or inspection procedures. They offer flexibility by accommodating misalignment in pipeline setups. With compatibility across diverse materials, flange connections are versatile, making them suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature environments. Their widespread use ensures that parts and expertise are readily available.

20 mm Adjustable Pig Signaller
The 20 mm adjustable pig signaller is designed to offer precise measurement capabilities, which are crucial for the accurate detection of pig passage. Its adjustability feature allows for fine-tuning to accommodate different conditions within the pipeline, enhancing the accuracy of the readings. The compact size of this signaller minimizes any interference with the flow of the pipeline, ensuring that operations run smoothly. Installation is not only quick but also requires minimal pipeline modification, which is a significant advantage. The lightweight nature of the signaller simplifies handling and installation processes. Its design is universally compatible, making it suitable for various types of pigs and sizes, ensuring broad operational flexibility.
