Pig Tracking System

The pig tracking system consists of a Transmitter and a Pig Tracking Receiver (PTR).  The transmitter is inserted and secured into the pig prior to its launch.  Polly, Turbo and Mandrel pigs can all be made to hold the appropriate size transmitter.  The transmitter uses low frequency signals to penetrate the pipe walls.  When these signals are picked-up by the PTR it emits both an audio and visual notification.

Pig Tracking is a method of verifying either the pigs location or movement through the line.  Tracking the movement reduces the search area in the event a pig does become lost or stuck in the line.  This is very beneficial in lines that are not pigged routinely and especially in lines that have never pigged before.
