Abstract

Abstract Experimental setups using steel and transparent glass pipes, along with equally spaced steel stamped and transparent plastic tees, were designed for testing. The experimental results provided insights into the influence of flow directions, pig length, material properties, and air consumption on the dynamics and strength of the pigs within the tees. Furthermore, the study identified the causes of temporary halting, jamming, and the mechanisms of damage to cylindrical pigs made of hyperelastic materials within pipeline tees.
