## Description

This MCP server provides technical calculation tools for sizing pig trap launchers and receivers. It determines required barrel diameter and length, calculates optimal kicker line sizes, and validates pig compatibility based on pipeline geometry and pig type. Use `get_sizing_summary` to generate a complete specification package for new installations, or `validate_pig_compatibility` to check if existing equipment can safely house specific cleaning, intelligent, or batching pigs.

## Tools

### get_kicker_line_size
Calculates the optimal diameter for the kicker line to ensure effective pig movement

### get_barrel_dimensions
Determines the required internal diameter and length of a pig trap barrel

### get_sizing_summary
Provides a complete sizing package for a single pig trap installation

### validate_pig_compatibility
Checks if a specific pig can safely fit within a predefined trap setup

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I need a full sizing specification for a new trap. The pipeline is 24 inches, the pig is 15 feet long, the pig diameter is 23.5 inches, and it is an intelligent pig.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required barrel diameter is 24 inches, the barrel length is 22.5 feet, and the recommended kicker line diameter is 4 inches.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will a 12-foot cleaning pig fit in my existing 15-foot barrel that has a 12-inch diameter? The pipeline is 10 inches.
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the pig is compatible with the existing trap setup.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the best kicker line size for a 30-inch pipeline using a batching pig?
```

**Response:** 
```
The recommended kicker line diameter for a 30-inch pipeline with a batching pig is 6 inches.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the full specifications for a new trap?**
You can use the `get_sizing_summary` tool. Provide the pipeline diameter, pig length, pig diameter, and the pig type to receive a complete package including barrel and kicker line dimensions.

**Can I check if my current barrel is large enough for an intelligent pig?**
Yes. Use the `validate_pig_compatibility` tool by providing the existing barrel dimensions and the specific dimensions and type of the intelligent pig.

**What pig types are supported?**
The engine supports cleaning, intelligent, and batching pigs.
