PIG
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PIG from 3G Electric.
What materials are PIG drum funnels available in?
PIG drum funnels are available in steel, stainless steel, and polyethylene. Steel funnels are suitable for general industrial use, stainless steel offers corrosion resistance for harsh environments, and polyethylene provides a lightweight, chemical-resistant option for non-sparking applications. Each material is selected based on the intended fluid type and operating conditions.
Do PIG drum funnels include flame arresters?
Some PIG drum funnel models are available with flame arresters, but the products listed here are specified as 'No Flame Arrester.' For applications requiring flame arresters to prevent ignition of flammable vapors, you should verify the specific model's features or select a variant that includes a flame arrester. Check the product datasheet for flame arrester height specifications.
What is the water absorption capacity of PIG fuel tank filter socks?
PIG fuel tank filter socks for IBC totes have water absorption capacities ranging from 7.2 ounces (for the 11-inch length, 1.5-inch diameter sock) to 26.3 ounces (for the 10.5-inch length, 3.25-inch diameter sock). The filler material is sodium acrylate copolymer, which absorbs water while allowing fuel to pass through. The socks include rope and clip connectors for secure attachment inside the tote.
Can PIG drum funnel screens be used with any drum funnel?
PIG drum funnel screens are designed for use with 18- to 22-inch diameter burpless drum funnels. The screen has a 0.125-inch hole diameter and is intended to filter debris while allowing liquid flow. It is not compatible with funnels outside this diameter range or with funnels that have different mounting configurations. Always verify the funnel diameter before ordering.
What is the replacement gasket for PIG draining drum lids made of?
The replacement gasket for PIG draining drum lids is made of open-cell EPDM blend material. It has an 18-inch outside diameter and is designed for 55-gallon drums. EPDM provides good resistance to weathering, ozone, and many chemicals, making it suitable for sealing drum lids during draining operations. The gasket is a direct replacement for the original PIG drum lid gasket.
