Volant HydroFORMTM Centralizer
Benefits >>


  Smooth entry rib profile

   Smooth entry through the casing bowl

   Reduced risk of hang up

   Better hydraulic flow

   Improved window exiting for liners

   Decreased frictional drag in horizontal and slant sections, no ploughing

 

  Robust Design

   Centralizers are manufactured from steel up to 1/4” wall thickness

   Formed shape leaves no components to break off or fail down-hole

   Rotate and reciprocate with the centralizer performing as plain bearings

 

  Rib Design

   Full helical rib coverage ensures constant contact with the well-bore maintaining maximum standoff, especially for deviated and directional wells where “key-seating” can occur.

   Rotational flow in annulus to improve mud removal and cement placement

   Rib length and width is designed to provide the proper load bearing area

   Customized rib height and geometry to customer specifications

 

  Positive Centralization

   Rigid centralization ensures consistent positive standoff

   Helical rib ensures consistent standoff, regardless of

   the orientation

   Capable of carrying 50,000 lb of side force with rib compression of less than .050"

 

  Attachment Options

       Placement between fixed stop collars

       Floated between couplings

       Crimped onto casing for positive rotation
