Wiper balls are commonly used to clean the drill pipe after a cement job to avoid potential residue which can set and block the internal diameter of the pipe.

Following cementing operations foam wiper balls are typically used to remove residual cement, drilling fluid or debris from the inside of the drill pipe or tubing. However, this can result in cement disturbance.

The Coretrax foam wiper ball is designed to wipe the drill pipe or tubing string clean of cement, fluids or debris and can also be used to separate fluids.
