Portuguese term or phrase: pigável

Help! I can't find this term anywhere. I am translating a patent for the Offshore Petroleum industry.

Here is context, with the term (adjective) between asterisks:

Um dispositivo de conexão situado em uma posição, de tal forma a fazer a conexão do cabo flexível, a linha flexível e o "riser" do elemento compensador suspensor, onde dito dispositivo de conexão confere ao elemento compensador suspensor estabilidade para manter a conexão do cabo flexível rígida a uma unidade flutuante, representada por uma unidade do tipo FPSO;
O dispositivo de conexão pode ser, por exemplo, um dispositivo do tipo cachimbo provido ou não de
curva **** "pigável". ****
Na presente concretização o elemento compensador suspensor irá ancorar a catenária de "riser" à unidade flutuante e a elasticidade conferida ao elemento compensador suspensor, será a responsável pela redução de transmissão dos movimentos da unidade flutuante à catenária de "riser". Essa característica elástica do elemento compensador suspensor é atribuída ao cabo flexível.

Any help you can give me, I will appreciate.

Thanks in advance!

Sample:

Pigging subsea systems is difficult because access to the installations involves complex and costly operations, requiring high-reliability equipment, facilities and procedures. Some devices developed to run pigs in subsea systems include:

* Dual-diameter scraper pig
* Subsea pig signaler
* Piggable Y
* Piggable loops.
