Designed to prove the pipeline is laid as specified the gauging Scraper is one of the most important inspection tools available. IKS's range of Bi-directional gauging scrapers offers the contractor an excellent tool. The range is comprehensive 2” through to 60”, with a variety of body constructions available. In sizes 2” up to 14” a spindle (bolt) body can be offered or alternatively the complete range up to 60” can be supplied as a multi bolt design. The standard model is supplied with six polyurethane discs: two support/guide discs which assist loading and centralization in the pipeline and four sealing discs which drive, seal and scrape.
