Although, the one I'm referring to is this: A Pipeline Inspection Gauge or "pig" in the pipeline industry is a tool that is sent down a pipeline and propelled by the pressure of the product in the pipeline itself. It is the chief tool used in pigging.
Or the one mentioned in this reference www.tdwilliamson.com: A device with optional elastomer cups inserted into a pipeline to perform any one of a number of functions: cleaning, displacement, batching, or internal inspection. It gets its name from the squealing noises the pipeline pigs made when first used."
Agh...the magic of WORDS...no wonder one must be able to "READ".
