General Purpose Poly Pigs

Highest quality poly pigs for flexible applications -- with over 40 years of trust.

Since its foundation, Nippon Pipeline Service (NPS) has conducted a variety of pipeline pigging projects using poly pigs, manufactured by Knapp Polly Pig Inc. We have complete confidence in Polly Pigs because

(1) Wide variety of pigging technologies around the world has been fed back to the Knapp Polly-Pigs and NPS can utilize such feedback as our knowledge bank.

(2) It can be applied not only to the Japanese local codes but also to international engineering codes and standards including ASME and ANSI.

The Polly Pigs we provide with are all proven with our half-century experience of pipeline pigging projects. We recommend them with confidence that they will meet your needs with maximum flexibility.
