Sandvik Materials Technology has released the Wrapter, a new portable ductility testing unit. It is a self contained unit suitable for both wrap testing and torsion testing. It allows for safe, controlled wire test of up to 1m in length for a 0.125in line and more for a 0.108in line, meaning the surface area tested can be up to 100 times greater than knotting the line. This reduces the danger of lowering a brittle line into a well with the risk of losing production equipment. Use of the Wraptor provides the ability to make accurate predictions as to the state of a slickline and its optimum retirement point. Wrap testing is a method for testing ductility in stainless and alloy wirelines. Self contained in a carry case, the Wraptor comes complete with accessories including: chuck, bushing and wire guide for wrap tests, and spindle and chuck for torsion tests. Flat nose pliers, Allen key, table fixtures and operating handle are also included. A detailed test procedures guide, encapsulated visual comparison evaluation chart, and 6x magnifying glass is also supplied. |
