SLOTTING

B&B
Pipe and Tool Co. offers a wide range of
choices, enabling our customers to determine the
most effective slot arrangement for them. Using
state-of the art 16 spindle slotting machines,
our highly skilled technicians cut precision
slots radial to the center of the pipe. At a high
production rate, slotted pipe is milled under
close tolerances, resulting in clean openings and
consistent slot width throughout the entire pipe.
Therefore, no excess metal is removed which
preserves maximum pipe strength. Slots can be
furnished 1
1/2" to 3" long for pipe of any length
with either standard threads and couplings or
flush joint threads Before slotted pipe is
delivered to our customers, all threads and
couplings are thoroughly cleaned and lubricated,
and the pipe interior is free of burrs or loose
metal chips.

|
Type
of Slots Available: |
|
|
|
Keystone
Slots:
- Slots are
milled wider on pipe interior and are
self cleaning to help prevent clogging. A
6° included-angle slot is standard.
Slots are available in widths .030"
to .125" in pipe sizes, 4.500"
to 10.750" OD.
|
|
Straight
Slots:
- Slots
furnished inline or staggered in pipe
sizes from 1.900" to 20" OD
with gauge openings from .012" to
.500". Slots are of equal width
throughout the pipe.

Patterns Available: |

Straight Vertical Slotted
Pipe
- Slots cut
radial to center which causes the
incoming fluid to flow directly to the
center eliminating the possibility of any
swirling action inside the pipe. Slots
furnished in sizes from 1.900" to
20" OD with gauge openings from
.012" to .500".
|

Staggered
Vertical Slotted Pipe
|
|
|
Multiple
Vertical Staggered Slotted Pipe
- Slots
increase the inlet openings from one to
four additional parallel vertical slots.
This type of slotted pipe is available in
sizes ranging from 2 3/8" through
20" OD.

THREADING
TO API SPECIFICATIONS |
|
API
Threads with couplings are extra strong for deep
and high-deviated wells. Where tensile and axial
loads on casing are high, such as that
encountered in deep high-angle holes, extra joint
strength is needed. Our Landis threading machines
produce this extra strength with API Threads
either short, long or buttress. |
|
Buttress
threads offer
extra strength since the horizontal effect of
tensile load is less than friction load, thus
minimizing the risk of jump-out and the resulting
joint failure. |
|
Couplings
are
long enough to fully engage runout threads, thus
providing joint strength virtually equal to
original pipe strength. |
|
|
B&B
furnishes API tubing and casing couplings. |

SECURITY
FLUSH JOINT THREADS/ |
VENTURA
FLUSH JOINT THREADS |
|
Ventura/Security
flush joint threads are still an effective
connection for oilfield liners! Flush joints, a
standard of the drilling industry, continue to
serve the purpose for which they were designed: A
strong connection between pipe sections, flush
inside and out, without couplings! The thread
profile is a modified buttress type. The reverse bevel of the
outer (Primary) shoulder tends to prevent the box
from spreading during joint make-up while
providing an outer fluid pressure seal.

|
|
|
|
|
The
Ventura/Security Thread utilized in flush joints
can withstand all the destructive forces imposed
on well liners downhole. In addition they provide
additional advantages:
- High
resistance to damage in stabbing
- Minimimum
revolutions required to make-up and
shoulder the joint
Available
Sizes: Up to 8 5/8" OD Casing

WIRE WRAP
SCREEN INSTALLATION |
|
Traditionally
gravel packed slotted liners have provided
strong, rugged screens that allow oil and
formation fluids to enter the well bores. In some
reservoirs, however, it has been necessary to use
finer gravels. As a result wire wrap screens have
been developed to provide .008" to
.020" openings to control this incursion
problem. To maintain maximum strength in the well
bore, these screens are normally installed on
slotted base pipe. |
