Borehole Packers
Pneumatically or hydraulically inflatable packers that incorporate one fixed and one sliding head attached to a centre shaft.
 |
The sliding head allows the packer gland to retract about the centre shaft as it inflates.
Applications:
 |
Permeability testing |
|
Hydro-fracturing of formations |
|
Monitoring well sampling |
|
Sealing artesian flows in boreholes |
|
Packer piezometers |
|
Pressure grouting |
Features:
|
Steel reinforced, or fabric reinforced, abrasion resistant glands are easily replaced in the field |
|
Hollow centre shaft for placement of sampling and monitoring equipment or for passing water through the packer during permeability testing or hydrofracturing |
|
Suitable for a wide variety of applications in open or cased holes |
