Required Minimum Pressures for smart pig

Required Minimum Pressures for smart pig

Required Minimum Pressures for smart pig

(OP)
Some one could help me in known required minimum pressures for running smart pig.

We are designing a natural gas gathering network that will operate between 58 psig and 109 psig. However we would like to know if it is possible run smart pig with this application. I know that this is information to be supplied by pig suppliers. But we are in conceptual engineering, and only I would like to know different experiences before I will contact the suppliers.

Many thanks in advance.

RE: Required Minimum Pressures for smart pig

Mostly pressure doesn't matter much.  What matters is differential pressure.  With enough dP your can move a pretty heavy pig.
