PIG Retainer

The SAFS Pig Retainer (also  known as a PigLock) provides a reliable mechanism to prevent PIGs moving inside a pipeline during PIG Launcher / Receiver installation and removal operations.

A high yield pin is extended and withdrawn into the barrel by means of a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) rotary interface. 

This pin reacts against the nose of the PIG to hold it in position during deployment or retrieval. 

Depending on the PIG size the pin can retain a PIG under a differential Pressure of up to 10 BAR.
