Thumb rules for Barrel diameter
Minor barrel - same size as pipeline
Major barrel - 2" higher Diameter for 12" and below diameter pipelines, 4" higher Diameter for 14" & above diameter pipeline.



You may go through Shell DEP standard (DEP 31.40.10.13). for PIG TRAP DESIGN.

I agree with rlpooniya...Shell DEP has similar guidelines to follow.
