pigging is used to clear the line of a blockage in the pipe line end terminal, thde pipeline end terminal

can be blocked due to accumulationn of liquid in the pipeline end terminal and this blockages can slow
down the flow of product through the product lines of the piepline end terminal this will also lead to
drop in flowrate due to the changes in internal diameter which is due to wax build up

valves they are used to regulates, control, direct, open, close and partially obstruct fluid flow.

gate valve

gate valves or inline valves are linear motion valves used to start or stop the flow of fluid, they are fully
oepend or fully closeed they provide good shut off. they are not used for throttling because it can lead to
