That's another Poe story involving people dressed as orang-utans, which is on topic for this thread because it was inspired by a real event.

Also what's the relationship between increasing psi and speed. I bet it's not that straightforward.

It's actually more of a "flow rate" kind of problem. There's a low pressure and a high pressure zone on either side of the pig. Does the compressor supplying the high pressure side have enough flow to supply the pipe at constant pressure through the entire distance of travel?

They have suspension for the wheels and axles too, but it's in the form of nitrogen charged accumulators, not metal springs. Otherwise every bump and dip would be transferred to the whole truck and it would shake itself apart in short order.

Why does it need to be constant pressure for the entire trip? Would the friction be high enough to quickly slow the pig in the pipe down if it didn't have a strong constant push?

I know nothing about pipe cleaning pigs.

Regarding pigging, I've never done it but I was engineer on a boat where they were doing it and the compressor spread took up our entire 50x200' deck, about 30 or 40 large engine driven compressors putting out ~2000psi iirc. So the resources brought to bear on the problem are often pretty robust. I mostly remember them blowing up turbochargers pretty frequently and flames and sparks shooting into the air.

At a shop I used to work at I remember the owner asking if I would cut the top off an old fuel barrel that had supposedly be rinsed out really well and I think I was like, "uh, gently caress no it still smells like gas." So he goes at it with a plasma cutter, that happens, and he burned the poo poo out of his forearm.

I don't have a picture of any dad balls but I do have a picture of a dad grenade we found while cleaning out his kitchen cupboards when he was in the hospital. It was right next to a jar of hoisin sauce that expired in 1998.

It's just a little bulgy. Not a big deal. I bet if we wash it off we can still use it.
