IPI Water Inflated Wireline Packers - SWiPS®

IPI's SWiPS®through-the-bit wire line hydraulic packer system is now the world leader for permeability testing in deep and demanding core holes. Using only water for inflation and not requiring a fixed wireline, IPI's SWiPS® simplifies the drilling operation by eliminating the need for separate or dedicated equipment. Water enables higher pressure ratings and therefore greater depth capability, and a more positive and reliable seal than gas alternatives. Available as standard for “P”, “H” and “N” sizes, in modular single / straddle formats. Compact and simple, SWiPS® makes testing possible where gas-inflate packers can't.
