Features
Construction
The sharp 360Casing Scraper is composed of a rugged one-piece mandrel design with a two-piece split
ring retained by four screws in the center. Blades are spring loaded and are designed to scrape a full range of com- mon casing weights with only one size
of blade for each different casing O.D.
The blades are precision cast from high- quality wear-resistant tool steel. They are very tough, but not brittle. They tend to work-harden slightly in service, which prevents wear very effectively. The blades are designed to fit closely over the spring housing welded to the man- drel, so that lateral movement is kept to an absolute minimum.
Springs are made of corrosion resistant 302 stainless and are totally enclosed between the blade and spring housing. Accidental loss down hole is virtually impossible.
The mandrel is made from heat treated alloy steel and has a pin by box connec- tion. Both ends have a suitable fishing neck to allow fishing out of the well if required.
Operation
Thesharp 360Casing Scraper is usually run with the pin connection up. It can be run either way at the convenience of the operator. The scraping action of the blades is identical in either case.
The configuration of the blades is such that the area scraped by the top row is overlapped by the row on the bottom.
The tool is made up on the string, and usually a bit is installed on the bottom. The Scraper is run in and the scraping operation begun, rotating or spudding as desired.
When a blade encounters an abrupt obstruction, such as a perforation burr or a fragment of cement, it is held firmly in its close-fitting slot by the mandrel and two-piece retainer ring.
Very slight or very gradual changes in casing internal diameters are passed over without damage to the casing, since the blades move in or out adjusting itself to the irregularities. The blades are sim- ply held in contact with the clean surface of the casing without cutting the metal.
Maintenance
Good maintenance will prolong the life of the tool and prevent misruns. After each use, the tool should be completely disassembled and thoroughly cleaned. Any worn or damaged parts should be replaced as this time. See Disassembly and Assembly below.
Disassembly
1.Clamp the mandrel in a suitable vise, near one end.
2.Remove four (4) socket head screws from split ring.
3.Remove all blades and springs from tool.
4.Thoroughly clean all the parts, and examine each for wear or damage. Replace any badly worn or damaged parts.
Assembly
1.Clamp the mandrel in a vise near one end.
2.Insert springs into slots provided on mandrel and hold in place with thick grease.
3.Place one row of blades in position and using banding tool, compress blades against the mandrel.
4.Secure Band and remove banding tool.
5.Place second row of blades in position and using banding tool compress blades against the mandrel.
6.Install split ring between the blades and secure ring with four (4) socket head screws. Coat threads (blue).
7.Remove banding tool and steel band from first row of blades. Thesharp 360Casing Scraper is now ready for use.
- Robust, self-sprung, single piece scraper machined from a single billet of steel with multiple rows of overlapping teeth.
- The scrapers fits perfectly inside the casing and is strong enough to provide a strong scraping force to ensure 360-degree coverage, something that a spring-cushioned scraper cannot do.
- Two fluted Centralizer Rings provide centralization, bypass and protects the whole tool.
- Free rotating tool design with Internal Bearing Rings prevent drill pipe, tool or casing from wearing.
- It can be quickly assembled redressed on location with simple hand tools.
- No external bolts, clamps or fasteners that can come loose down hole.
- Robust assembly method with multiple back-ups.
