ARGUS PIGGING VALVES
Manufactured under API 6D license 0225
Argus pigging valves are used extensively on pipelines throughout Canada, United States, South America, Australia, Africa, Russia, Asia, and the Middle East. Argus pigging valves are bi-directional and compatible with multiple pig manufactures. Argus Machine pigging valves and pigs are available in sizes ranging from 2″ through 20″ ANSI class 150# -1500#.
Argus Pipeline Pigging Advantages
-
Reduced pigging valve footprint optimized for offshore pig launching applications
-
Environmentally friendly lowering pigging valve emissions
-
ILI Technology Compatible
-
Optimal for high pigging frequency operations
-
Argus Pigging valve remote access via SCADA
Argus pipeline pigging valves facilitate asset integrity, mitigate corrosion and optimize oil and gas production. Argus pig valve integrity is assured through A350-LF2 low-temperature forged steel construction, while uncompromised quality is secured under ISO 9001:2015 and API 6D certifications.
Quality Pigging Valves
-
Forged three-piece body design and construction is superior to castings pigging valves
-
Trunnion-mounted pigging ball valve extends seat life and promotes ease of operation
-
Double block and bleed construction facilitates the launch and receipt of bullet, scraper and spherical pigs
-
Environmentally superior to pigging tees and traps Designed to NACE MR0175, low-temp, liquid or gas applications with a standard temperature range of -50ºF to +250ºF (-46ºC to +121ºC)
