Rosemount™ PDS42 Acoustic PIG Detector

Get real-time pig passage signaling with the Rosemount PDS42 Acoustic PIG Detector, that detects the noise generated by PIGs as they travel through the pipes. No software is required due to embedded digital signal processing, providing remote indication directly to DCS. This monitor enables 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. Designed to be non-intrusive, compact, explosion proof and high temperature rated, the Rosemount PDS42 can be installed in almost any location.
