Rapid/Quick Opening Closures & Pig Signallers

Omni-Directional Pig SignalLightweight, compact, and engineered for durability with rugged 316 StainlessSteel components, our Omni-Directional Pig Signal is equally at home in demand-ing offshore applications, as well as onshore environments. It’s designed to bemounted in any position around the circumference of the pipeline and can beinstalled using a Hot Tap Tool. The omni-directional trigger operates visual and/orelectrical indicators as the pig passes through the pipe.

Low Maintenance• Not susceptible to external corrosion• Adjustable trigger length depending on pipe thickness and pig type

Low Cost and Quick DeliveryDue to our tightly integrated design and manufacturing capabil-ities, we are able to produce closures at a highly competitiveprice with exceptionally fast delivery times.

Size Range Offered in sizes 6" thru 48" standard, and up to 60" as specified inbuild-to-contract requirements.

Rapid/Quick Opening ClosuresOur Rapid Opening Closure provides fast access to pipelines andpressurevessels suchaspig launcher/receivers and filter vessels.Designed and manufactured by industry leaders in the productionof pigging and isolation equipment to the world’s pipeline industry,the ROC (RapidOpeningClosure) satisfiescustomerneedssuch as:

SafetyBuilt to meet all international codes and key operator specifica-tions with robust components that help prevent damage causedby misuse. Up to three levels of safety interlock to avoid openingunder pressure including a vent/bleed plug with pressure warn-ing indicator.

Locking MechanismClosure door is retained by a series of heavy-duty section seg-ment blocks that engage into a groove within the closure hub.

Speed and Simplicity of OpeningTwo simple movements, removal of a vent plug and the 22.5° turnof a handle, are all that is required to rapidly release.

Easy to MaintainDesigned tobemaintainedeasilyusingsimple lip seal arrangement.

AMPL provides significant cost savings for pigging operations.Using the AMPL System improves the efficiency of pigging oper-ations and increases safety for personnel and the environment.

The number of AMPL pigs that can be inserted is determined bythe length of the barrel on the launcher.

Typically the AMPL Automatic Multiple Pig Launching System is ideal for use on:

• High frequency pigged pipelines • Existing pig launchers

Pipeline Closures & Launching SystemsYale® ClosuresYale® closures feature a quick opening threaded design that provides fast, easy and economical accessibility to pipelines and othervessel applications.

Yale® Figure 500™

Known as “The Original Threaded Closure”. With over 60 years ofreliable field service, Yale® was the first to develop the inherentlysafe and easy to operate threaded closure. The Yale® Figure 500™is manufactured in 2" thru 14" sizes.

Yale® Figure 500R™

Designed for larger diameter closure applications, the Yale®

Figure 500R™ is machined with a beveled seat to reduce the riskfor thread & seal damage, plus a minimum 3" thread length isused for greater safety and insures mechanical sealing integrity.These closures are manufactured in sizes 16" and larger with leftor right swinging hinge.

Yale® Figure 515™

A flanged closure offering a bolted flange-to-flange configura-tion. Rugged ACME threads fasten the cap to the hub making theYale® Figure 515™ the safest in the industry. Manufactured insizes 2" thru 72" and ANSI class 150 thru 2500.

AMPL Launching SystemsAMPL is a patented Automatic Multiple Pig Launching System that allows a series of pigs to be launched into a pipeline at operatorcontrolled intervals while minimizing the number of times a pig trap door has to be opened to access a pipeline for pigging.

Pipeline Inspection & AnalysisPECAT™ InspectionPECAT™ is a pigging based pipeline inspection tool developed primarily to measure the cleanliness of pipelines, particularly prior tohigh resolution inline inspection and the decommissioning of pipelines.

PECAT™ uses state-of-the-art unique sensor and data loggingtechnology to measure not only location and quantity of debris inthe line, but also record other parameters such as ovality(Caliper), temperature, differential pressure, and changes inpipeline diameter all in the same pigging run. Some of the bene-fits of PECAT™ include:

• Incorporates a caliper system and additional process data logging capability

• Makes assessment of cleaning programs simpler and more effective

• Can measure debris of 1mm or less in size

ACOUSTEK® uses a patented technique of transmitting acousticwaves down a gas pipeline and analyzes the pattern of thereflected waves to locate full or partial blockages, obstructionsor leaks.

The ACOUSTEK® tool can either be installed for continuous mon-itoring of a pipeline or set up and used as needed.

ACOUSTEK® AnalysisBlockages, obstructions or leaks in gas pipelines can result in significant losses of revenue and severe disruption to operations.ACOUSTEK® allows immediate assessment and analysis of pipelines to accurately identify and locate any blockages or obstructions,allowing remedies to be put in place quickly.

Custom Pig Solutions & Material OptionsCustom Engineered Pig SolutionsNo two pipelines are alike. We know from decades of field experience that situations arise requiring solutions that may be totally uniqueto only one pipeline and one application.

Once on site, our engineers and technicians have the ability toevaluate all options and design a specialized pig to meet therequirements for your application. To make sure the customizedpigging tool will perform without issues, we have the ability toinsert the tool into a test loop which simulates the actual line thatwill be used.

Only when we’re confident that the tool is performing as expectedwill the tool be shipped. This high level of technical expertise andquality control sets us apart from competitors and can be found inall of our pigging products and services.

Metal bodied multi-use pigs are equipped with either scraperdiscs/cups, cups, brushes, magnets or gauge plates and offeredin eight different cleaning configurations. All cups and discs arereplaceable and can be interchanged or reconfigured. This pigis rugged and easy to maintain.

The conical cup features a large wear surface in a conicalshape with a small bolt circle. The disc/cup configuration allowsfor additional cleaning and discs add extra support to the pig,increasing the cup life. Cups and discs offer excellent sealingproperties and flexibility for superior performance.

Cleaning elements include brushes to remove hard, crust-like deposits, urethane blades for removing soft gummy deposits, scraper discs to clean both hard and soft internal deposits, and magnet kits to remove ferrous material. Brushes and scraper discs provide a 100% cleaning circumference.

Metal Bodied Cleaning, Batching, Displacement and Hydrostatic Pigs

Urethane PigsOur high performance solid cast pigs feature highly durable Omnithane® polyurethanes.

Solid cast pigs are used mainly in small diameter lines. Molded inone piece, they are designed for flexibility so they can traversecomplex pipeline geometry.

Solid cast pigs are often used in short to medium distancepipelines and plant piping applications with multiple changes indirection for removing products, keeping lines clear of wax ordeposit build-up, and applications where metallic componentscannot be used.
