When it comes to displacing air and water during hydrostatic testing carried out during construction, the ED gets the job done, quickly and efficiently. With its bi-directional design, it can travel in either direction.
Designed to negotiate 1.5D or greater bends.
Features & Benefits:
- Provides and effective seal when separating dissimilar fluids or dewatering during hydrostatic testing.
- Equipped with two guide discs and four sealing discs made from Reliathane, Apache's special blend of wear-resistant polyurethane.
- With repeated use, sealing discs can experience wear and tear. The ED pig will reverse direction, without compromising its sealing capabilities.
- Every Apache ED 16”- 48” pig is manufactured with by-pass ports. These ports feature threaded plugs that can be removed, should by-pass be required. By removing the by-pass plugs, a portion of product flow is redirected through these openings. The debris is suspended in the turbulent flow and transferred ahead of the pig.
- Standard bumper noses cushion the pig and help to protect in-line auxiliary equipment, preventing damage.
Options Available:
- CARVER discs.
- Aluminum Gauge Plates in slotted or standard styles.
- Radial Brush and Block Brush options available.
- Magnets can be used to either collect ferrous and other construction debris, or they can be used to provide a change in magnetic field required by non-intrusive pig signaler detection devices.
- Transmitter housing to accommodate electronic tracking equipment.
- Rattlers.
