Slips
Drill Collar Slip
Much like rotary slips, these are designed to grip and suspend drill collars in the well and have a multi-segment design which allows them to hinge and adapt to a range of OD’s. Our range covers 3″ – 14″ OD drill collars.
Casing Slips
Again much like rotary and drill collar slips, casing slips are designed to grip and suspend casing in the well whilst additional lengths of casing are being added. They also rotate the casing during casing running and cementing operations. Our range covers 6.5/8″ – 30″ OD casing.
Pneumatic Slips
Air operated (as opposed to manual), these are designed to enhance safety by reducing personnel requirements on the rig floor when operations call for the use of Rotary Slips.
Rotary Slips
Sitting within the slip bowl of the rotary table or spider, rotary slips are designed to grip and suspend the tubular string (normally drill pipe) in the well while additional joints are being added. Our range covers 2.1/16 – 7″ OD tubulars
Power Slips
The Air operated Power Slip is designed to enhance safety by reducing personnel requirements on the rig floor when operations call for the use of slips.
The PSA 150 can be operated by using a foot valve at a safe distance from the Rotary Table and even in a case of a loss of air pressure a safety device is installed to prevent the lifting arm from engaging. Under such circumstances, the PSA 150 can be operated manually.
Size Range: the Power Slip accommodates Standard (Rotary) Slips in the range of 2 3/8” to 7”
Rotary Table Suitability: the Standard Power Slip PSA 150 fits all 37 ½“ Rotary Tables made to API Standard. Power Slips for a different Rotary Table are available upon request.
