Jet Research Center’s C-4 Casing Cutters are designed to allow air transportation (via commercial aircraft) of the explosives in individual packages. Air freight allows for rapid shipment of urgently needed cutters and is considerably less expensive than transportation by sea. Upon arrival at the location, the explosive can then be placed in the cutter body and run in the well. The C-4 Cutters then function as traditional cutters, except for their reduced temperature limitation. This product line uses the same safe-arming procedures as the popular tubing, drillpipe and normal casing cutters. It allows the detonator to be electronically connected safely before the detonator is placed in proximity to the cutting charge. |
