Pencil Brush Pig
Pig Type
Aggressiveness
Diameter Range
Heavy-duty, designed for aggressive cleaning and configurable to customer specifications, pencil brush pigs take aim at finely divided black powder and hard scale deposits in internal pits, including magnetic scale. That makes them ideal for pre-inline inspection (ILI) cleaning, which is essential to improving run result accuracy.
Specifications
- 6-inch through 42-inch.
Key Features
Equipped with a steel body, spring steel wire brushes and polyurethane bumpers and discs.
Multiple brushes made of high tensile steel or posistrand filament help maintain cleaning efficiency even when the pig travels long distances.
Brushes are made to conform to the inside diameter of the pipe and provide 100 percent circumferential cleaning.
Removable bypass plugs provide a jetting action that further improves cleaning effectiveness.
Easily change the number of discs and brushes, add transmitters for tracking or make modifications for very heavy wall pipe or to increase bypass.
Configurations
5D-1BR traverses a 1.5 DR bend.
4D-2BR and 4D-2BR PitBossâ„¢ traverse 3 DR or larger bends.
Common Applications
Removing black powder and hard, scaly or ferrous deposits.
Controlling corrosion.
Pre-ILI cleaning.

Add-ons
Brushes made to the exacting standards of the original components help ensure aggressive cleaning by a variety of pigs, removing tough debris like black powder and scale from interior walls and pits.
Manufactured to the same strict OEM performance standards, scraper discs offer superior abrasion and wear resistance qualities for long, reliable performance. Available in a variety of hardness's, thicknesses and configurations to meet specific needs, including bypass holes to promote more effective cleaning.
Configurations
The five-disc Pencil Brush cleaning pig is a heavy-duty cleaning pig very effective at removing black powder, hard wax and cleaning deposits from the internal pits of corroded pipelines. The pit cleaning wire brushes are designed to improve the effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors.
The four-disc Pencil Brush cleaning pig is a heavy-duty cleaning pig very effective at removing black powder, hard wax and cleaning deposits from the internal pits of corroded pipelines. The pit cleaning wire brushes are designed to improve the effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors
The four-disc PITBOSSâ„¢ Pencil Brush cleaning pig is a heavy-duty cleaning pig very effective at removing black powder, hard wax and deposits from the internal pits of corroded pipelines. Having the PITBOSS brush paired with the pencil brush provides maximum hard wax removal and cleaning of internal pits. The pit cleaning wire brushes are designed to improve the effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors.
