Dramatically Reduce Costs with Pipeline Pig Tracking Equipment

Tracking the progress of a pig traveling through a pipeline is key to any comprehensive pipeline cleaning program. Using pig tracking equipment will significantly reduce the search area in the event a pig becomes stuck or lost in the line. A smaller search area equates to less than an hour spent locating the pig, which results in dramatic reduction in cost.

In coordination with COMTEL© Systems, Ltd, Inline Services provides state-of-the-art pig tracking equipment that will streamline your pipeline cleaning program.

Our extensive suite of pig tracking equipment includes a variety of Auto Tracking options through our AGM, AGM Pipeline Sentinel and AGM Sentinel units, as well as a wide-selection of  TX Transmitter sizes, a RX101 Receiver, and a Geophone.

Not Sure if You Should Buy or Rent.  We Can Help!

All tracking equipment is available for sale or rent, and we have options to suit every pigging program, regardless of complexity. Our pigging experts can help identify which equipment is right for you, and if buying or renting is your best option. Call us at 888.973.0079, live chat or click here to send us an email.

  • Inline's AGM, built with COMTEL® technology, allows for reliable, unattended pig tracking and data collection. The Above Ground Marker (AGM) is powered by 4, C cell alkaline batteries that provide an average of 2.5 weeks run time.  Using high reliability technology, it detects and records 22Hz and/or magnetic pig passages to GPS synced UTC time.  The collected data can be easily downloaded and analyzed while in the field or at the shop with a laptop and USB cable. Because pipelines run through some of the most diverse and extreme terrains,  Inline's AGM is designed for both durability and high performance.  In addition to being extremely lightweight and compact in size, The AGM is waterproof and can withstand temperatures over 120 degrees, and under -10 degrees. Inline's Above Ground Markers are available for sale or rent. REQUEST A QUOTE

  • The AGM Pipeline Sentinel, built with COMTEL© technology, is an automated pig tracking station that can be left at a remote pipeline location without a human operator. It will reliably detect the passage of any pig equipped with a transmitter or magnetic and then uplink the passage information to an overhead satellite. Passages can be detected in quick succession. The satellite uplink will send the passage information (passage time, asset #, and GPS location) to any number of email addresses and cell phones. The Pipeline Sentinel is powered by 4, C cell alkaline batteries that provide an average of 2.5 weeks run time. A permanent version can be buried and powered by a solar panel. Because pipelines run through some of the most diverse and extreme terrain, Inline’s Pipeline Sentinel is designed for both durability and high performance.  In addition to being extremely lightweight and compact in size, The Pipeline Sentinel is waterproof and can withstand temperatures over 120 degrees, and under -10 degrees. Pipeline Sentinels are available for sale or rent. REQUEST A QUOTE

  • Inline’s TX Transmitters are available in both standard and coded frequencies. They come in numerous standard types, but can be custom made to meet specific job requirements. Each transmitter is made durable and reliable for a long life. The TX Transmitters generate electromagnetic fields at a very low frequency (between 15 and 30 Hz) sending audio and visual notification, through the antenna to the receiver, when a signal is picked up. The inside of the transmitter is available with either a lithium or alkaline battery enabling the device to be self-sufficient. Temperature ranges are based on the battery type. Alkaline batteries are rated at -4 to +130 F (-20 C to +54C) and Lithium batteries are rated at -40F to +140F. REQUEST A QUOTE
