Your Pipeline Problem — Solved by the Red Pig Criss Cross

Imagine you launch a standard foam pig into a waxy crude oil trunk line. It travels through but leaves a thin wax film behind. Within weeks the deposit returns.

Your line diameter shrinks, pump pressure rises, and energy cost climbs.

Now picture the red pig criss cross instead. Its red polyurethane body carries a criss-cross coating pattern. The diagonal ribs bite into soft wax, hard scale, and trapped silt that smooth pigs slide over. One pass restores the full bore. Therefore, you clean less often and move more product per hour.

The fix is simple. Choose the red pig criss cross when a bare pig no longer scrubs hard enough. Its cross-pattern surface does the work your line needs.

 Product Advantages

• Aggressive cleaning— The criss-cross ribs cut wax and scale far faster than a flat surface.
• Custom fit— We build every red pig criss cross to your exact pipe internal diameter.
• Modular add-ons— Add steel brushes for rust or magnetic rings for ferrous debris.
• Long service life— High-density PU resists tearing across long, dirty runs.
• Field proven— Deployed on Kuwait Oil Company and Aramco-linked pipeline programs.
• Easy retrieval— A 15 mm pull hole (up to 30 mm) lets crews recover the pig safely.

Application Scenarios

Use the red pig criss cross in crude oil trunk lines, gas gathering systems, and water injection networks. It suits pre-commissioning dewatering, routine wax removal, and product batch separation. Additionally, it performs in refineries and offshore platforms where shutdown time is expensive. For new pipelines, it clears construction debris before first flow. In older lines, it restores lost capacity month after month.

 Why EMT

EMT (Shenyang EMT Piping Technology Co., Ltd.) has built piping equipment since 1993, growing from the Shenyang Institute of Sources Technology Development. Today we hold ASME U Stamp, ISO 9001, and NACE-aligned practices. Our pigs, signallers, and corrosion tools ship to more than 50 countries. We machine to ASME B16.5 and test every batch. Furthermore, our engineers customize skeletons, brushes, and transmitters to your spec. Survive by quality, develop by technology — that is our rule.

Meet Us at Exhibitions

EMT demonstrates its pigging range at leading international oil & gas and pipeline trade shows across the Middle East, CIS, and Asia-Pacific, including ADIPEC-style and KIOGE-style events. Visitors handle sample pigs, review coating patterns, and discuss line profiles with our engineers. We also brief EPCs and operators through live demos. If you plan to attend a regional exhibition, contact us for booth details and a one-to-one technical meeting.

FAQ

What is a red pig criss cross used for? It scrubs wax, scale, and debris from oil, gas, and water pipelines in a single run, restoring bore and flow.

Can you make one for my pipe size? Yes. We customize from 1.5″ up to 50″ and beyond to match your internal diameter exactly.

Do you add brushes or magnets? Yes. Steel brushes cut rust; magnetic rings capture ferrous particles during the pass.

Which density should I choose? Pick 35 kg/m³ for light dewaxing, 100–120 for general service, and 220 for heavy deposits.

How fast can EMT deliver? Standard sizes ship within days; custom pigs typically deliver in 2–4 weeks.
