Foam Pig Configurations

Enduro Foam Pigs can be built in configurations such as:

  • Bare foam – for light cleaning, displacement, and swabbing
  • Criss-cross coated – for enhanced wiping and debris removal
  • Abrasive coated (e.g., silicon carbide grain) – for more aggressive cleaning and scale removal
  • Scrub or brush-enhanced designs – for increased contact and friction along the pipe wall
  • Swab pigs – for drying and light cleaning after hydrotesting or chemical runs


Applications:

Foam pigs are an excellent choice for:

  • Routine pipeline cleaning and maintenance
  • Batching and product separation
  • Dewatering and drying after hydrotests
  • Displacement and purging operations
  • Cleaning plastic pipelines where steel-bodied pigs may not be suitable
  • Situations where a lightweight or disposable pig is preferred.

Why Operators Choose Foam Pigs

  • Broad size and density range
  • Configurable to match your cleaning goals
  • Backed by Enduro’s in-house urethane expertise
  • Supported by a team that can help you design complete cleaning programs, not just individual pigs
  • Designed, manufactured, and supported by a company focused on pipeline cleaning, tracking, and integrity

Manufacturing

Open-cell polyurethane foam body designed for flexibility and effective pipeline cleaning.

Available with uncoated, crisscross polyurethane coating, or full polyurethane coating, depending on cleaning requirements.

Foam pigs may include abrasive coatings, brushes, or other cleaning materials to increase debris removal capability.

Designed to compress and expand, allowing foam pigs to travel through varying pipeline diameters and tight bends.

Pipeline cleaning, drying, product displacement, and debris removal.



Effective for removing liquids, loose debris, wax, and soft deposits inside pipelines.

Natural gas, crude oil, refined product, and water pipelines.

Foam pigs are highly flexible and can navigate bends, valves, and minor diameter changes.



Can be fitted with Enduro transmitters to allow pig tracking using geophones, receivers, or NIPS units.


Designed and built in Tulsa, Oklahoma by Enduro Pipeline Services.

FAQs

  • What foam density should I choose?

    Light-density foam pigs are typically used for swabbing, dewatering, and light cleaning. Medium and heavy-density pigs are used for more demanding cleaning runs or when more abrasion resistance is required

  • Can foam pigs be tracked?

    Yes. Foam pigs can be manufactured with transmitter cavities, allowing you to install Enduro transmitters and track the pig using your geophones or receivers.

  • Are foam pigs suitable for plastic pipelines

    Yes. Foam pigs are well-suited for plastic pipelines where steel-bodied pigs might be too aggressive or difficult to navigate.
