Figure 5-13: S Series Pulling Tool Core Options
Always check that the item to be released has sufficient clearance on the skirt
to move the core upwards fully. Failure to check this may result in the tool not
releasing fully.
Note
The shear pin in shear down tools is smaller than the equivalent in shear up tools.
The S series of tools uses the same releasing and pinning tools as the R series.
The SSJ combination is the correct running tool for the N and Q test tools, X
selective tools and PX test tool, because:
• The long reach core permits the dart (fishing neck) of the test tool to float
upwards off the scaling seal to provide fluid bypass. This is essential to
permit the test tool to pass through the nipple seal bore of the same
size as the V-packing.
• Downward jarring force is between the skirt and top sub of the test tool,
and not absorbed against the dart or seal surface.
The SSJ combination is easier to re-pin and can also be added to S series tools
with B and S type cores, i.e., SSB and SSS combinations.
