The smart pigs, as the name suggests, are pipeline-cleaning devices equipped with electronic sensors, ultrasound sensors, and recording, and relaying systems.
Smart pigs are used for pipeline inspection. With the help of smart pigs, the pipeline operator doesn’t have to destroy a part of the pipeline to check the damage. A smart pig inspects the pipeline for any material buildup, damage to the pipeline, and any leaking.

What is intelligent pigging?
Intelligent pigging is done with the help of smart pigs. In intelligent pigging, the pipeline is first cleaned with the help of a regular pig, a utility pig, and then the smart pig is sent into the pipeline to inspect the interior of the pipeline.
The smart pig reports on the pipeline condition for any damages. If the pipeline is weak somewhere, the smart pig will spot it, record the details of damage or corrosion or any other problem, and report it with electronic transmitters. Some intelligent pigs also record the inspection data on a device mounted on the pig itself.
Smart Pigs Pipeline
Smart pigs pipeline or smart pig pipeline are the pipelines that are friendly for intelligent pigging. The smart pigs pipelines are mostly in the long pipelines that are spread across hundreds of kilometers like oil and gas, mining, and water pipelines.
The smart pigs are most useful in the incredibly long pipelines that are hard to inspect and cost a great deal of money and other resources.
