Cementing Head
Cementing Head
The BACHTM Cement HeadA is the latest innovation developed by Citadel Technology.
Our head improves operational safety and reliability when launching cement plugs during
pressure pumping operations.
Features:
- Includes the SPEED LOKTM connection, a quick connect adapter that eliminates threading or hammering when connecting to any API or premium connection
- Integral manifold vastly simplifies rig-up of circulating iron on the rig floor by eliminating all but one threaded connection.
- Standard two plug configuration. Additional plug capacity available upon request
- Launches cement plugs on the fly without the need to stop pumping operations
- Single lift point increases safety with handling and installation by eliminating the need for a leveling chain and bar.
- Releasing plunger rods do not extrude when launching cement plugs
- Mechanical indicator that the plug has exited the head.
- Non welded assembly allows for improved maintenance to be performed to ensure extend the service life of the head
Table 1 shows the basic, dimensional information of a conventional BACH Cement HeadA. As required, custom chamber lengths are available for extended length plugs common to tapered and production strings with restricted ID sleeves.
MAWP is the maximum allowable working pressure to be applied to the BACH during pumping operations. Each BACH is pressure tested to a MATP that is 1.5 x MAWP.
Allowable plug length can be customized to accept extended length plugs common to tapered string and production strings that incorporate restricted ID sleeves.
