TCP Mechanical Firing Head

Description
DynaEnergetics offers a safe and reliable mechanical firing head for TCP
applications. The firing head is activated by the impact of a drop bar on a firing pin;
the drop bar strikes the firing pin, shearing a safety retaining washer and driving
the pin downward to contact a DynaEnergetics percussion initiator. The resultant
detonation is transferred through the top sub to the gun system.

The DynaEnergetics firing pin is hydraulically balanced and debris-friendly. Further,

it incorporates a number of advanced features designed to improve reliability and
increase safety.

Features
• Allows safe operation with integrated No-Go and firing pin safety
retention washer. Additional No-Go available for placement above
firing head (recommended).
• Internal pin retention system; use of shear ring eliminates leak path caused
by externally installed shear pin.
• Only firing head available that incorporates additional safety ring to prevent accidental
surface detonation.
• Maintains differential pressure of 20,000 psi across initiator even after detonation.
• Initiator housing locked in place at well site using the exclusive DynaEnergetics safety
spanner.
• Hydraulically balanced firing pin prevents accidental detonation due to hydrostatic pressure.
• Debris-friendly design ensures detonation even in the presence of debris at the head.
• Compact design is compatible with industry standard top subs.
• Withstands a drop of at least 10' without movement of firing pin.
