Pig valves are used to essentially wipe the interior of a pipe and prevent blockages. Chaoda's latest patented design is unique in that it loads from the side with a latch door that only opens after the valve has been depressurized and drained. This video was made to explain the perks and functionality of this particular design.

Chaoda USA is a valve company that wanted to showcase their product in a more interesting way. Breaking down each part of the valve is the best way to do so. I created a hierarchical part structure for the valve and was able to animate the pieces in a way that both made sense and was visually pleasing to the eye. This valve in particular is called a Metal Seated Ball Valve, because the seats that cradle both sides of the ball are made of metal as well.

COOPER Valves has a product line of metal seated ball valves that are extremely advantageous in many industries. I made these videos for a loop at tradeshows. They would play continuously for several hours. They installed a television in the company's lobby and put the video on loop as well. Many industrial tradeshows get visited by Cooper each year, including POWERGEN, HRSG, AFPM, and more. Cooper Valves was a standout amongst the crowd with these videos, and gathered quite a following.
