What are the primary features of the Plunge Cutter?
The Plunge Cutter is specifically designed for precision plug sampling from soft and unconsolidated formations in sedimentary geological environments. It is equipped with a hydraulic system for both vertical and horizontal sampling. The main frame offers 90° adjustability, and the worktable features an X, Y core support system accommodating cores up to 3ft/1m in length and 6 ¾ inches in diameter, making it ideal for both onsite and wellsite geological applications.
How do I maintain the hydraulic system of the Plunge Cutter?
To maintain optimal performance, regularly check the hydraulic oil levels, tighten all couplings and connections, and ensure no air is trapped in the system. Only use manufacturer-approved parts and fluids. Periodically changing the hydraulic oil is essential, especially when working with sedimentary formations or unconsolidated geological materials.
What safety precautions should be followed when operating the Plunge Cutter?
Ensure the core sample, particularly from unconsolidated formations, is securely placed on the support system. Operators should wear appropriate safety gear, monitor hydraulic components regularly, and avoid exceeding the system’s rated pressure limits. The machine should only be operated by trained personnel, especially during wellsite geological applications.
Can the Plunge Cutter be used for different core diameters in geological formations?
Yes, the Plunge Cutter can handle various core diameters up to 6 ¾ inches. It is specifically designed for soft and unconsolidated sedimentary formations. Its adjustable mechanical stops and hydraulic system provide precise core handling for both laboratory and wellsite geological sampling.
What types of geological formations are best suited for the Plunge Cutter?
The Plunge Cutter is ideal for soft, unconsolidated formations commonly found in sedimentary rock layers. It ensures minimal sample disturbance while maintaining structural integrity, making it suitable for core analysis in geological research and oil and gas exploration.
