Carbide Attachments For Pipeline Pigs

Direct-mount carbide attachments designed for maximum cleaning performance and long service life in demanding pipeline environments.

Built for the toughest cleaning jobs

Our carbide attachments are engineered to outperform standard steel alternatives in every measurable way — hardness, wear life, and cleaning efficiency.

Tungsten carbide construction

Significantly harder than standard steel tips, carbide handles the most abrasive deposits without wearing down prematurely.

Self-tapping installation

Thread directly into any polyurethane pig body. No drilling, no adapters, no special tooling — just install and run.

Application-matched profiles

Multiple tip profiles available to match your specific deposit type — from soft wax to hard coke and everything in between.

Extended service life

Carbide tips last significantly longer than standard alternatives, reducing replacement frequency and total cost of ownership.

Custom sizing

Standard sizes available for most applications. Custom dimensions manufactured to your specifications for non-standard requirements.

Quality controlled

All critical manufacturing done in-house using American-made materials. Every batch inspected before shipment.

Simple installation, powerful results

Our self-tapping design means you spend less time on setup and more time cleaning pipe.
