RECOMMENDATIONS OF USE:
The maximum admissible output depends on the model and viscosity of the fluid driving the PIG. No greater than 1.5 m/s water
velocity is generally recommended. In the case of using compressed air as the PIG propellant, you should not drive the PIG with
dry pipes. The allowable air pressure depends on the model, conditions of use and the status of the installation.
Pressure is recommended to increase progressively until adequate pressure. Generally the recommended initial pressure
boosting product is between 1 to 2 bar, and may increase to a maximum of 4-5 bar, depending on the product and working
conditions.
When there is no product in the pipe, the return in the PIG should be done at low pressure. If the
impelling fluid is compressed air, a pressure of return between 0,5 – 1 bar is recommended,
depending on the installation, model and conditions of use. In case of doubt, please consult INOXPA
because a speed of return too high might seriously damage the PIG system.
