PIGGABLE BEND

A piggable bend is a specialized type of pipe bend designed to accommodate the passage of pipeline inspection gauges, commonly known as "pigs." These pigs are devices used for cleaning, inspecting, and maintaining pipelines. Piggable bends are engineered with a larger radius and smoother curvature compared to standard bends, ensuring that pigs can navigate through the pipeline without getting stuck or damaged.

Typically used in the oil and gas industry, piggable bends are essential for ensuring the efficiency and safety of pipeline operations. They allow for regular maintenance and inspection activities, helping to detect and address issues such as corrosion, blockages, and structural integrity problems. By facilitating the smooth passage of pigs, piggable bends help maintain the operational reliability and longevity of pipelines.
