Hinged Non Welded Bow Spring Turbolizer
Oil Baron Supply’s Hinged Non Welded Turbolizer has all of the characteristics of
regular centralizers as far as starting force is concerned. The key difference is that
the turbolizer has deflector blades fitted on Standard Bow Springs. These blades or
fins are specially made of heat-treated spring steel and are designed and
manufactured to meet API 10D specifications.
The function of the fins is to generate turbulence in the cement slurry during pumping
operations. In addition, the fin direction can be adjusted clockwise or anticlockwise to
assist uniform cement displacement. The spring action of blades makes them flexible,
reducing damage while moving down-hole. This device improves the cleaning action
of drilling fluids; distributes the cement slurry into well bore irregularities and
minimises channeling. Another feature is that the bows are fitted on a uniquely
designed self locking End Collar with a stop device.
Every hinged Non-Welded Bow Spring Turbolizer undergoes a special iron phosphate
coating process to protect it from corrosion and are then coated with a special polyester powder. The product can be shipped in semi-assembled condition to assist shipping and storage costs.
They are available in 4 ½” to 20” sizes.
Any special sizes or combination can be made available upon request.
