    This document provides guidelines for typical pigging pressures and liquid or gaseous flows through pipes of various diameters when launching or running pipeline pigs. It lists recommended pressure ranges in psi needed for different pipe sizes during pigging operations. It also includes estimated liquid flow rates in gallons per minute and gas flow rates in standard cubic feet per minute that can be achieved at various pipe velocities. The document notes that the volumes and pressures provided are approximate guidelines and may vary depending on specific pipe, fluid, and pig factors.

    Notes: Volumes and pressures are approximate and guidelines only. These are not to be considered
    as absolute requirements. Requirements will vary according to type of pipe, fluid, materials in the
    pipe, viscosity, temperature and type of pig.
