Trackable Pipeline Pigs

Trackable Pipeline Pigs, or Trackable Swabs, are an advanced method of locating an internal obstruction / blockage of pipes. This technique involves using adapted Pipeline Pigs and self-contained transmitters called Sondes which are inserted into a cavity inside the Swab.

Blockages can be located by pushing the Swab and Sonde assembly (Trackable Pipeline Pig) through the pipe until it meets an obstruction and stops. That position can then be detected and located using a cable and pipe detection locator such as a Cable Avoidance Tool (C.A.T.) by an operator above ground.

At the point of obstruction a small section then can be isolated for investigation rather than having to dig out the entire pipe run which may run along a road or in a built up or inaccessible area. Note: For more detailed information on how to use the C.A.T. refer to the ‘Using a C.A.T. With Trackable Swabs / Sondes user guide.

Pipeline Pigs

When pressure testing polyethylene pipelines, we recommend the introduction of Pipeline Pigs ahead of the water column to assist in removing any air, especially where the pipeline undulates.Pipeline Pigs or swabs are a low-cost solution for preparing your pipeline for further commissioning works. We offer a range of sizes, typically from 50mm to 600mm, but we can also cater to bespoke sizes.We also supply pipeline pigs which are available to suit most applications, wiping, swabbing drying and cleaning.

Remote Pressure Testing App

The all new PressureTest+ app brought to you from Stopper Specialists, designed to on-site monitor and record the pressure testing of pipework. The app works alongside a Bluetooth enabled Data Logger to prepare, record and capture pressure test data in real time. The app will provide an instant, on-site pass or failure analysis, along with test recommendations and GPS tracking.

Remote Testing

This service allows the client to start, record and complete a pipe line test remotely from the Stopper Specialists website.

Test Gauges

Our high quality Test Gauges are fitted with an Over Range Protection Valve, which will reduce the risk of over pressurising the gauge. All necessary connections are available to suit your test requirements.
