·         Maximum and minimum pipeline internal diameter 
·         Minimum bend radii
·         Maximum bore of branch connections
·         Operational parameters

		<description><![CDATA[Customer specifications need pipeline pigs to launch and be receive without the fear of a pig sticking and that the pig launcher / pig receiver minor barrel internal diameter is equal to the pipeline internal diameter.

The problem for designers is that the pipeline and launcher / receiver are usually specified with different design codes or design factors. This usually leads to the minor barrel wall thickness having to be thicker than the pipeline wall thickness it joins to. In some cases, making the minor barrel internal diameter significantly smaller.

Even in the early 21st century why is it that pigging is sometimes regarded a medieval black art?
For many years pigging and pigging manufacturers have only slowly moved forward. In a time when technology seems to move on at an ever quicker pace, the pigging industry seems to have had problems with getting some of its [...]]]></description>

It would seem that a new era in pigging is unfolding at the present time.
 
With many pipelines now operating well after their originally planned design lifespan, the use of inspection vehicles to prove their integrity and therefore continue the pipelines safe operational use seems to be on many operators’ agendas.
