Galaxy Brushes
Pig brushes for pipeline and well bore maintenance
Pencil Brushes
Our line of Pencil end brushes are used on Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) pipeline inspection applications,
the revolutionary patent-pending manufacturing method offers the following advantages:

Mechanical attachment
No solder
No epoxy
No chemical adhesives
Minimal bristle loss (no furring)
Impervious to most chemical attacks, including Zinc Bromide

Infinite shelf life.
The brushes are sprayed with rust preventive and sealed in plastic
Nothing to deteriorate
All steel construction, not affected by high temperature and pressures

Any fill materials
Nickel plated wire and stainless steel wire do not solder well
Soldering and epoxy methods require cleaning procedures to remove oil and other contaminants, increasing the              risk for a non-uniform bonding across the bristles
Fill material is available in: Carbon steel, Stainless steel, Nickel plated wire and Tin plated wire

High tensile failure point between
4400-4900 lbf 19500-21800 Newton
In the event of individual bristle loss, the structural integrity of the brush is not compromised, thus reducing the              possibility of catastrophic failure

Excellent magnetic properties
B-H curve tests performed by the University of Pennsylvania showed that the standard deviation of the magnetic properties is about a third of the competitors solder pencil end brush


The brush size, bristle density, trim length and mounting plate geometry are customized to your specific
needs and tool characteristics. Virtually any brush pattern and brush angle could be achieved depending on your application.
