"pigs" das linhas de combustivel de gás


Explanation:
Penso que possa ser istos. Que eu saiba, não existe um termo específico em Pt-Pt.

Tenho visto textos oriundos do Brasil com o termo traduzido para \"porco\". Pessoalmente, não creio que seja uma boa tradução.

O que o glossário da Schlumberger diz:

pig

1. n. [Production Testing] ID: 11249

A device with blades or brushes inserted in a pipeline for cleaning purposes. The pressure of the oil stream behind pushes the pig along the pipeline to clean out rust, wax, scale and debris. These devices are also called scrapers.
2. n. [Production Testing] ID: 11250

A spheroid implement used to displace liquid hydrocarbons from natural gas pipelines. They are also called signaling and batching pigs.
3. vb. [Production Testing] ID: 11251

To run a scraper, or pig, trough a pipeline for cleaning purposes.

Este documento do Instituto Superior Técnico refere \"pigs\" (porco) na página 9 e \"dispositivo de inspecção (pig)\" na página 10.

Pessoalmente, penso ser a última opção \"dispositivo de inspecção (pig)\" (ou \"dispositivo de limpeza (pig)\" se for o caso) o termo mais apropriado em Pt-Pt.
