Nothing Kills Corrosion like Fiberbuilt Pigs

Our Corrosion Pit Cleaning Pigs dig deeper into corrosion pits and remove more material than any other pigs in the industry.

The origins of Fiberbuilt go back to the late ‘50s, when the company made and sold handmade brooms and brushes to local businesses in the Calgary area. With only a handful of brush types, sales were made directly to businesses, door-to-door. Over the decades, the business has grown and evolved into a diverse manufacturing organization with operations in both the United States and Canada, and distribution worldwide.

About 15 years ago, Fiberbuilt developed patented technology specific to the construction of Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) Brushes for in-line inspection (ILI) tools in the pipeline industry. Fiberbuilt’s proprietary MFL Brushes provide 200% greater retention strength of wires than industry competitors and are the only MFL brushes that can provide direct wire contact between magnet on the pig and the pipeline wall, consequently providing the most efficient contact and magnetic field transfer possible.

Fiberbuilt has developed collaborative engineering relationships with the world’s leading in-line inspection companies. These years of collaboration and our subject matter expertise in applying brush technology in pipelines has led to Fiberbuilt developing new technologies for pipeline utility pigs, specifically for maximizing corrosion pit cleaning and delivering “unstoppable” small-diameter/multi-diameter pigs to address difficult-to-pig or “unpiggable” lines.

 

 

CORROSION PIT CLEANING PIGS

Fiberbuilt’s Pit Cleaning Pig uses Corrosion Killer technology, made from thousands of ultra-high strength tempered spring steel wires, to dig out material with a forward reaching and penetrating action into the full depth of corrosion pits. This action removes up to 80% more volume from the pits than the industry’s existing brush pigs.

• When deployed in a successive pigging program, the depth and volume of pit cleaning has been proven to improve with each pass
• The more thorough pit cleaning possible with the Fiberbuilt corrosion pit cleaning pig allows the entire corrosion mitigation program to be more effective
• Maximizes the effect of chemical cleaning and corrosion inhibition applications
• Available with patented Fiberbuilt Composite Seals or a more traditional urethane cup type seal in 3”, 4”, 6” and 8” configurations
• Custom sizes and designs available

 

 

 

BRUSH PIGS

Fiberbuilt Brush Pigs utilize smart tool brush technology to provide the pinnacle in aggressive cleaning and performance. Built with patented Fiberbuilt pencil brush technology, these are the highest grade brush pigs available in the industry.

• Available with the patented Fiberbuilt Composite Seal technology and a more traditional urethane cup type seal in 3”, 4”, 6” and 8” configurations
• Custom sizes and designs available

 

 

 

PURGING PIGS

The Fiberbuilt Purging Pig’s composite seals allow purging & dewatering to be completed at lower operating pressure, easily flowing through just about any feature that make lines difficult to pig.

• The composite seal allows for the purging & de-watering pigs to be deployed and effectively operated in complex pipeline geometries with schedule changes, diameter changes, or other pipeline ID anomalies that may otherwise restrict regular pigging operations
• Low-differential pressure drag seals allow for purging & dewatering to be completed at lower operating pressures, simplifying operations and increasing safety
• Available in 3”, 4”, 6” and 8” configurations
• Custom sizes and designs available
