VANTAGE® V Batching Pigs are multi-use pigs designed for batching, displacing and light cleaning of pipelines 10-inch and larger. Two- and four-cup configurations can be provided, as well as a disc/cup configuration. The basic two-cup configuration will satisfy most new construction batching/displacing applications. A four-cup or disc/cup design is recommended for:
- Batching products with critical interface contamination points
- Displacing liquids on excessively long runs
- Traversing long-bowl checks and wedge gate valves.
The conical cup features a large wear surface, a cone shape and a small bolt circle. Cups and discs provide excellent sealing capabilities and flexibility. The pig is designed to traverse 20 percent reductions due to anomalies in the pipe without damaging the pipe or pig.
The disc/cup configuration allows for additional batching and light cleaning. The disc also adds support to the pig, increasing the cup life. All cups and discs are replaceable and can be interchanged or reconfigured. The VANTAGE® V Batching Pig is rugged and easy to maintain. It features a consistent design throughout the size range and is available in several different standard configurations to meet most pigging applications. The VANTAGE® V Pigs are equipped with nonmetallic bumpers to protect the bolts and prevent metal to metal contact during pigging operations.
