Yeah probably shouldnt use metal to push the pig into the barrel. Just asking for a bad day doing that. Just keep a wood 2x4 at the launcher at all times so the next guy doesnt do the same thing.
Most important thing is to make sure it gets to the reducer and has a good seal. She'll sit there all day long if you just push it bare past kicker line...then ya blow her down, open door, and try again
yup agreed i do pigging on pipeline 48’ inch’ feed gas product , usually i push pig with hydraulic pusher untill they get snugged to kicker/reducer .. *sorry for my bad english
I'm not the smartest man in the world, but those look like butterfly valves so... how is the pig supposed to pass through those with the steam down the middle of the valve body?
The purpose of pipeline pigging is to remove debris buildup, which increases pipeline efficiency. Also, in dry pipelines, such as natural gas, any liquid drop out can be swept down the line and recovered minimizing any internal corrosion. Hope that helps!!!
Hey Ace. I watched both of your videos and they are very informative. You do a great job explaining everything. I have some questions about the pigging process and I was wondering if you would be open to having a conversation about it.

I passed an interview for a pipeline tech position thanks to this video.
That's what I'm doing..lol
Nice video👌🔥. Still waiting for the pig signal to pop up😅

You need a steering wheel knob for those 16 inch valves!

Dustin Draughon I agree with you, they have to push it till the pig seal the minor barre

Thanks so much. Brought me great clarity on the pigging process. Looking forward to more such videos.
I just got a career in pigging as a pipeline tech in Williston, North Dakota. Where is this video made? What should I expect?
Soooooo did the pig make it into the line 👀
Its such a cliffhanger
Don't need all that red grease on that o-ring. Silicone grease works better and does not deteriorate the o-ring.
Where i come from pig signal is the same as last call.
With this video and pipe mania puzzler I now feel trained to work on industrial pipes.
So this place doesn't exist right? The backdrop looks like it's from a 90's era video game

you missed a belt loop
Where is the other half of the video! Lol
Rooster Teeth brought me here
Jeremy Brendli same
What was the point of this video? Or are we watching the wrong one lol
Same
lol me too
i hope burnie didn't want me to watch all 12 minutes of this damn video
Thanks, you made it very easy process.
Would not hurt to grease the clamp hinges as well.
I noticed that you didn't purge the air out of the barrel before launching the pig. Is it ok to send that much air through downstream meters?
It's not a problem. We would re-calibrate our meters on a regular basis
its not a natural gas line. its a product line.
I'd be working with a written checklist.
Oops, you accidentally loaded the mule, not the pig. You had one job Clem!
Did it ever leave the trap?
yes it did

TDW door?
Please use proper pig pusher or pig will not launchef
What is type of Pig ?
Why isn't Kingston doing this?!
it's a North Dakota location
Just tell me where to apply!

Landscape aspect !!!
FAIL!
The pig signal DID NOT pop up.
Nice work 👊🏻
Never left the launcher
That's right
He didn’t get a good seat, which allowed bypass
RT post show!
Are those tipple centric butterfly valves?
wont be butterfly valves as they need to be full bore for the pig to get through
Ball valve.
Come on erin
mâle sure it's gets in thé reducer
I m doing diploma in piping engineering
