Inflatable Element (Cable-Reinforced)

The cable-reinforced inflatable element includes multiple layers of woven cable to allow multiple expansion of the element while providing a barrier against extrusion. The weave type construction is recommended for applications requiring multiple inflation cycles, retrievable operations, and when setting the element in perforations, slots, or open hole.

Advantages:

• Multi-set applications

• Sets in perforations, slots, fractures, or open hole

• Up to 2:1 expansion

• Seldom leaves rubber in the hole
