Provided that Wirelines are purchased from reputable suppliers they should arrive at the user complete with full certification. This acts as a
guarantee to the purchaser that the wireline has been manufactured to a specific quality standard and exhibits the properties recorder on the Test
Certification. Unfortunately with time the combined effect of operating under high tensile, bending fatigue stresses and often in corrosive media
at high temperatures causes Wireline ductility to become gradually impaired. Consequently those properties originally certified no longer apply
and quality assurance becomes dependant on the experience of the operator and on his/her ‘feel’ of the wire. The availability of Linetech Portable
Wireline Tester can assist in checking the ductility this should be used as part of a full testing programme. Torsion testing is especially useful when
operating API Wirelines in conditions where small amounts of H2S may exist since line failure can occur in as little as 12 hours exposure.
