ZERO180 Gun System Warning: Shot gun systems may trap pressure which can be hazardous to personnel. If the gun components trap pressure, maintain a safe distance from the carrier and slowly remove the gun sub until the o-rings are exposed and the pressure safely vents. 1.0 ZERO180 Gun System Overview Owen Oil Tools offers a wide variety of Threaded Gun systems; varying in OD size, length of carrier, the number of shots per foot (SPF), phasing of charges, charge type, and explosive materials.
ZERO180 Gun System GUN OD MAX. DIAMETER (IN.) MAX. DIAMETER (MM.) (IN.) (A) (B) (A) (B) 3.125 2.812 2.816 71.42 71.53 The gun subs used with the Owen Threaded Gun Systems are designed for a range of applications including high pressure and temperature as well as high bending and tensile loads. For high pressure and temperature applications o-ring backups may be required (refer to Technical Information, O-Ring Specifications for details).
ZERO180 Gun System 2.
ZERO180 Gun System 3.0 Loading WL Version The detonating cord on this style, is placed on the inside of the tube strip and spirals around, connecting the charges forming the explosive sequence. Do not to remove the endplates at this time. Note: With the internal wrap style tube strip, the det cord is held in place by the charge and tube strip (no Det Cord Clips are required). 3.
ZERO180 Gun System 3.4 To load the charges, start at the top of the tube strip and insert a charge through the large hole until the det cord grooves of the charge sticks out through the small hole (you may need to rotate the charge so that the det cord groove aligns with the path of the det cord). Secure in place by using the bend tab on the tube strip. The charge should not be able to move side to side. Continue to load the required charges to complete the tube strip. 3.
ZERO180 Gun System Warning: A loaded tube strip can be very heavy, especially the larger diameter tube strips, and must be handled accordingly to prevent personal injury, dropping or bending the tube strip! 3.12 With the thru wire holder positioned at 12 o’clock, slowly slide the loaded tube strip into the carrier. Be careful not to cause any damage to the components of the loaded tube strip.
ZERO180 Gun System 3.15 The next step is to install select-fire tandem sub at bottom of gun. This system requires a select fire tandem at the bottom of each gun. Place the size 230 o-rings on the sub. Pass the thru wire through the tandem. Insert the tip of the end seal or booster into the 9/16” ID hole in the tandem sub.
ZERO180 Gun System all connections in port and prevent knicked or cut wires. Carefully tuck the new connection into the bottom of the port. Also, carefully tuck the other wire from the switch/diode and the bare wire into the port to prevent damage to either wire. Note: You may wish to check the continuity of the thru wire and electrical connections for an open or a short to the gun body at this time from the top sub to the pin of the switch/diode. Repeat steps 3.1 – 3.13 for loading each gun and steps 3.
ZERO180 Gun System Warning: Never load a tube strip when the det cord is still attached to the roll! Cut the necessary length of cord, the remove the roll from the loading area! 4.2 Place the det cord through the tube strip and both end plates. Note: To help run the cord through the tube strip, use a non-sparking Fish Tape or Fish Tape Leader (used by electricians and plumbers). Insert the fish tape through tube strip and attach det cord to its end using electrical tape.
ZERO180 Gun System 4.7 Remove the endplate with booster and booster tube from the tube strip. Crimp the crimp support tube to the det cord while pulling slight tension on the crimp support tube using Owen Super Crimpers. 4.8 Re-install the endplate into the tube strip without pressing on the booster or booster tube. 4.
ZERO180 Gun System Warning: A loaded tube strip can be very heavy, especially the larger diameter tube strips, and must be handled accordingly to prevent personal injury, dropping or bending the tube strip! Caution: Do not damage or break the Booster Transfer Tube (if applicable), during insertion! Do not pinch the det cord or Booster during insertion! 4.14 Slowly slide the loaded tube strip into the carrier. Be careful not to cause any damage to the components of the loaded tube strip.
ZERO180 Gun System 5.0 Arming WL Version The ZERO180® gun system should be armed according to each company’s standard operating procedures. While the guns themselves are unique, the assembly method and connections external to the guns or gun string are not. The ballistic connection of the detonator to det cord is unique and will be covered in this section.
ZERO180 Gun System Caution: It is recommended to handle one detonator at a time to minimize the hazards; furthermore, arm each gun individually from the top of the gun string working towards the bottom to reduce exposure and risk. 5.1 Remove an Austin Powder A-140F detonator from its storage container and packaging. Discard the plastic detonator block; it is not required for this system. 5.2 Place a pencil at the wire end of the detonator.
ZERO180 Gun System 5.9 Install a size -224 o-ring on the port hole and a size -216 o-ring on the port plug if not completed prior. Apply a minimal amount of grease to threads and o-rings. Thread the port plug into the tandem taking care not to knick or cut the wires and tighten. Repeat steps 5.1 – 5.9 to arm each gun. 5.10 Perform any additional necessary actions to prepare gun string for conveyance in well. 6.
