Rosemount™ PDS42 Acoustic PIG Detector

This detector enables you to know the exact PIG location inside the pipeline and identifies debris removal during pipeline cleaning operations to determine if additional cycles are needed until pipe

Get real-time PIG passage signaling with the Rosemount PDS42 Acoustic PIG Detector. This non-intrusive device detects the noise generated by PIGs as they travel through the pipes, enabling operators to know the exact PIG location inside the pipeline, and identifies debris removal during pipeline cleaning operations. This information is crucial for determining if additional cycles are needed until pipe is clean, ultimately optimizing pipeline maintenance and ensuring efficient operations. No software is required due to embedded digital signal processing, as the device provides remote indication directly to DCS. Designed to be compact, explosion-proof, and high temperature rated, the Rosemount PDS42 can be installed in almost any location.

Key Features

  • Provides real-time PIG passage signals to both DCS and locally in field, enabling synchronized local validation and centralized supervisory of your pigging operation.
  • Rosemount PDS42 operates without the need for proprietary software.
  • Compact and explosion-proof design helps facilitate simple deployment in-field.
  • High temperature performance enables for safe operations in high-temp applications.
  • Identifies debris removal when executing pipeline cleaning operations. This tells operators if there is more debris left and if they must run another PIG run until reaching a clean pipe.
  • Detects all types of PIGs in all types of fluids.
