A study on Pipeline Inspection Gauge (PIG) Flow Parameters in Small Size Pipe

Pipeline inspection gauge or known from its acronym as PIG was basically a tool or a device that was inserted into a pipeline with the purpose of cleaning or pipeline inspection. There were different types of pigs for different use in pipeline. The most basic form and most frequently used of pig is...
