Superior Alloy Attributes
Grade N80 composition imbues max strength retention even in harshest HC environments:
- 9% nickel content withstands temperatures up to 400°F where carbon steels degrade.
- Minimum 80,000psi yield strength maintains bore integrity deeper/hotter than other alloys.
- Uniform carbide precipitation through precise thermo-mechanical processing maximizes wear resistance to proppants/sands long-term.
These inherent defenses against downhole threats safeguard productivity over multi-decade durations like no other material.
The process of laser cutting a slotted liner involves several important steps to ensure the quality and performance of the pipe. Let’s explore the procedure in detail:
1. Surface Treatment:
Before the slotting process begins, the pipe undergoes surface treatment to prepare it for laser cutting. This treatment involves cleaning the pipe surface to remove any dirt, debris, or contaminants that could affect the quality of the slots. Additionally, any rust or oxide layers are removed to ensure a clean and smooth surface for the laser cutting process.
2. Cooling and Heat Elimination:
During the slotting process, the laser generates heat as it cuts through the pipe material. To prevent overheating and potential damage to the pipe, cooling mechanisms are employed. This can include the use of coolants or water jets to dissipate the heat and maintain a controlled temperature. Proper heat elimination is crucial to maintain the structural integrity of the pipe and prevent any distortions or deformations.
3. Quality Inspection:
After the slotting process is complete, each pipe undergoes a thorough quality inspection. This inspection ensures that the slots are cut to the specified dimensions and meet the required standards. Any substandard pipes that do not meet the quality criteria are identified and separated for proper disposal or recycling.
4. Marking and Certification:
Pipes that pass the quality inspection are marked to indicate that they meet the required specifications. This marking can include information such as the slot dimensions, pipe material, manufacturing date, and any other relevant details. Additionally, a material certificate is issued for each pipe, providing documentation of the pipe’s quality and compliance with industry standards.
5. Delivery of Goods:
Once the quality inspection and marking processes are complete, the pipes are ready for delivery to the intended destination. Proper packaging and handling procedures are followed to ensure the pipes are protected during transportation and arrive in optimal condition.
By following these steps, the laser cutting of slotted liners can be carried out efficiently and effectively. The careful control of machining parameters, surface treatment, cooling, quality inspection, marking, and certification ensures that the resulting slotted liners meet the required standards and provide reliable sand control capabilities in well applications.
In conclusion, the process of laser cutting slotted liners involves surface treatment, cooling, quality inspection, marking, and certification to ensure the highest quality and performance of the pipes. These steps are crucial in achieving well-designed slots that meet the required specifications and provide effective sand control in various well applications.
