Pig Launcher Barrel Length Calculation Formula

Why do you want to launch pigs? Isn't it better to transport them in trucks? Does the SPCA know about what you intend to do?

Hi Dear,

You have great intelligent humor sence. I was really wanted this answer.

In fact, I keep pigs because there is too much human dirt around and so pigs are required to clean it.

Ha ha ha

IF YOU WANT LIFE DEAR

You wouldn't happen to be Homer Simpson's Indian cousin now, would you?

Well said,

We need to send this pig too with others on the same truck.

These pig questions always bring out the jokers as above .

The answer to your question could possibly be found in your company's standards/design guides, or by asking the client to whom you are designing for.

If neither of these work out : the barrel length is dependent upon the operating procedures, service, type of pigs, available space, etc., but in general for launchers deploying conventional pigs - 2 x pig length; while for receivers - 3 or 3.5 x pig length.

If space allows and/or the requirements are for intelligent pigs (usually the largest)- the barrel length should be decided only after consultation with the pig manufacturer, and usually 10% is added to the barrel.

Thanks XMech for your reply and solution. In fact, now a days pig launcher to be designed keeping dimensions / requirements of intelligent pigging. For this intelligent pigging details shall be there.

In standardization process, I have caried out some analysis and to finalize more study is rewuired.

Thanks you once again.

Ok, in my ignorance, what is a "pig" and why do you want to launch it?

(oh boy, I'm wide open for this one!)

I'll go easy on you with this one - this question has been asked before, and there was a time when I didn't know as well:

Thanks,

Thanks from me too. I was envisioning the trebuchet at the bottom of daily CR4.

Well, I learned something here, thanks to the guest. I had assumed it was like a potato launcher, but used for a barbecue!

Better to build a squirrel laucher or a cat-a pult.

Somehow, I don't think neither Kris nor Del will like that.
