What Data is Gathered With Caliper Pigging?Īmerican Pipeline Solutions uses a caliper tool to measure the internal structure of your pipeline. Once the data is confirmed, the pipeline is ready for various pipeline tests, such as pipeline integrity testing. This step is necessary for determining whether or not the caliper pig must run through the pipeline a second time. As the caliper tool runs through the pipeline, these sensors record the pipeline’s internal structure.Īfter the caliper pigging process is complete, American Pipeline Solutions confirms that the data was gathered correctly. These mechanical fingers or arms are crucial to the data gathering process while the pig is in the pipeline. The body of a caliper tool is designed with mechanical sensors or arms. What makes the caliper tool unique is its design.

The caliper pigging process uses a special type of pigging equipment, known as a caliper tool or caliper pig. Once the pipeline has been cleared of debris, it is ready for the caliper pigging process. American Pipeline Solutions clears a pipeline of debris by pigging the pipeline. American Pipeline Solutions’ Caliper Pigging ProcessĬaliper pigging is part of one of American Pipeline Solutions' pipeline pre-commissioning process.īefore a caliper tool can be used, the pipeline must be cleaned of any debris. Keep reading to learn about American Pipeline Solutions’ caliper pigging process, when APS uses our caliper tool, and more.

This process is integral in determining the overall integrity of your pipeline system.

When inspecting the integrity of your pipeline, American Pipeline Solutions uses a unique process-caliper pigging. This process examines several factors of your pipeline, including integrity and cleanliness. The pipeline pre-commissioning process is necessary to ensure that your pipeline can safely transport products when in operation. One step involves the pipeline pre-commissioning process. After constructing a new pipeline system, there are various steps you must follow to ensure it operates smoothly.
