Definitions

  • the present invention is available for the owner of the equipment, and the personalized equipment for the deletion.
  • the grooves are located at the corner of the axle osi, e. their lower part - 2 - shifted to a relatively small position in the direction of rotation of the device.
  • Another one-day disadvantage of the known devices is 35 low efficiency of its operation due to the presence of a greater pressure-transmitting pressure-compensating pressure.
  • This device is difficult to handle, has a low efficiency due to the greater friction forces in the processing zone,
  • the object of the present invention is to increase the reliability of the operation of a device for flaring a pipe.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to increase the operating life of the device.
  • a further one purpose of the present invention is to speed up the process of flaking out basic or unsettled garden tubes.
  • the task posed is solved by the fact that, in the case of the device of the disengagement of the pipe, which contains the casing and is mounted on it with an angular component, it is
  • the rolling element is made in the form of a first segment, the external part is disconnected from the public parts.
  • the geothermal transmitter is located in a non-volatile area.
  • the device works as follows. After the release of the normal pipe 15 (for the removal of the area of complication) to the well or to the large open pipe 16, - 5 - as shown in Fig. ⁇ , and the detection of the pipe 15 from the inside due to the pressure of the liquid, the undetected sections 17 (Fig. 4) will remain unchanged.
  • the device is screwed up with drill pipes 18 (Figs. 2 and 2) and lowered into the borehole.
  • the improved applicability of the present invention may be used for the disintegration of a conventional pipe used for processing.
