HD Protector

HD Protector
Product description

Protectors are designed to protect all control lines and cables along the full length of the production string, reducing the risk of damage to cables, control lines, or flatpacks. PDT’s Protector portfolio includes clamping and cable protection solutions to protect cables from lateral, axial, and rotational loading in downhole applications. In addition to our standard cross-coupling range, PDT designs application-specific solutions for demanding situations.

 

Application 

The Heavy Duty (HD) Protector is a robust, all-cast protector designed for arduous service. It is typically used in harsh environments and deepwater applications where physical robustness and strength are critical. The HD design incorporates features that provide load ratings greater than standard protectors. A key feature of this protector is the interlocking fastening mechanism that prevents shear stresses from being applied to the bolts by dispersing impact-related forces to the cast body. The HD is designed as a universal protector to cover a wide range of tubing connections and accommodate many line configurations.
