PERFORMANCE OF BOW
SPRING CENTRALIZER
STARTING FORCE
Starting force represent the Maximum force
required to insert a centralizer into a specified
wellbore diameter. This test is done as 1. A fully assembled centralizer is installed
over four equally spaced lugs
(3 on
the inner pipe-1) as shown in Fig-1.
2. The test assembly is held within 5
degrees of the vertical with the
centralizer resting on the edge of the
outer pipe-2
3. Load is applied on the inner pipe to pull
the centralizer into the outer pipe-2.
4. Starting force equals the
maximum
force required to put centralizer inside
the outer pipe-2.
5. The starting force should be less than
the weight of 40ft. (12.2mtrs.) of
medium weight casing.
RUNNING FORCE
The running force represent the maximum force
required to slide the inner pipe inside the outer pipe
once the force reading has become steady (after
compensating for the weight of the inner pipe end
attachment.)
The running force test may be perform with the
starting force test or carried out separately.
Readings of force used from the time, the
centralizer is inside the outer pipe until the inner
pipe is completely in place being recorded and the
maximum force reported as the running force after
compensation.

RESTORING FORCE TEST
Restoring force is the force exerted by a centralizer
against the casing to keep it away from the bore
wall. This Test is done as 1. The test is performed with pipe-1 and
pipe-2 (Fig. 2) within 5 degrees of the
horizontal.
2. All Bows are flexed/comprssed 12 time.
3. External force is applied to the outer pipe2 which is transferred to the centralizer.
4. Load is then applied and load v/s
deflection readings are recorded for 3
times when the minimum restoring force
has been obtained.
5. Each bow spring is tested and the final
load deflection curve is prepared using
the arithmetic average of the force
readings at corresponding deflections.
6. Restoring force is determined from this
curve at 67% stand-off ratio.
Field experience shows that stand-off
values of 75-90% are adequate even in horizontal
wells.

HINGED WELDED BOW SPRING TURBOLIZER
MODEL: WC-HWBST, PRODUCT No.- WC-40502
SLIP ON WELDED BOW SPRING TURBOLIZER
MODEL: WC-SWBST, PRODUCT No.- WC-40503
Centralizers with turbo-fins attached to each bow spring are designed
to create localized turbulent fluid flow at the centralizer. The turbofins
divert the fluid flow to more evenly distributing the cement around the
casing. All welded and nonwelded bowspring centralizers are
available in the most common hole/casing sizes.
Available in the size range 4 1/2 to 20, this sturdy non-weld device
induces a spiral
flow pattern in the slurry thereby increasing
displacement efficiency. Fitted
with specially designed
multidirection turbo fins, made of alloy steel in annealed state. This device
improves the cleaning action of drilling fluids, distributes the cement
slurry into wellbore irregularities and minimizes channeling.
Refer to Specification Guide: [WC-HNBSC]w Spring Centralizers table)
Drilling & Down-hole Completion Tools
The straight-vane rigid centralizer is used during operations in which
casing centralization is a primary objective. The centralizer can be
attached to the casing with set screws located between each vane,
preventing casing rotation or reciprocation during cementing operations.
If the casing will be rotated or reciprocated during cementing operations,
the centralizer can float on the casing joint between the stop rings. A
flexible ceramic coating can be applied to the entire turbulator to reduce
friction. Th e rigid centralizer is normally 10" long, but it can be
manufactured to any length as per the customer requirement. The vane
ODs are typically " less than the bit size used to drill the well. The
centralizers are available in 2-7/8 to 20.

WELLCARE Slip On Welded Spiralizer are high
quality welded
product which meet the specifications. The centralizers have bow
springs strongly welded to the end collars under required temperature
conditions with correct grade electrode.
The end collars are available in latch-on design with high strength
steel.
These centralizers have boat type bow, strongly welded to the end slip
on collars under required temperature conditions with correct grade
electrode. These centralizers are made in a variety of style, but they
generally have straight or curved vanes. They can be secured to the
casing OD, or they can float between casing stop collars if the well
casing rotates during cementing.
Spiralizers are available in spiral and straight blades which resist
high side loads. While giving maximum standoff these blades
create vortex flow to optimize mud displacement. The centralizers are
available in 2-7/8 to 20.

PERFORMANCE OF STOP COLLAR S:
Stop collars are being tested in accordance with API
RP 10D-2/ISO 10427-2 to evaluate their
performance characteristics reliable to suite field
applications.
The test casing is within the tolerances as indicated
in API 5CT for non-upset pipe.
Burrs or Similar defects being removed from the stop
collars prior to testing.
The outer sleeve should provide a load surface to
distribute the load to the stop device (as shown in

Holding force being recorded at the starting point of
slippage of stop collar and till the end of the test for
displacement of stop collar along the casing up-to 4
inch.
