Rope Socket Swabline Type

The Slip Type Rope Sockets are designed to cut the cable internally leaving a clean fishing neck should the tool string become stuck in the well. An overpull can be applied and the slips cut the cable under excessive loading at a precise percentage of the cable’s tensile strength. Standard 50% to 90%* cutting slips are available.

The Rope Socket can be ordered without the cut slips to be used as a conventional clamp type Rope Socket.

For confidence that the rope socket has been set correctly, Hunting advises that the ExCro tester is used to minimize exposure to a rope socket failure.
