Operation
The WellEnTech External Dimple Jig Assembly consists of two three distinct components, the Dimple Sub, the Hammer and the Removal Sub. The Dimple Sub creates the Dimples on the Coiled Tubing, this is achieved by tightening hardened Dimple Screws which produce a uniform dimple of the exact size to suit the External Dimple Connector. The Hammer is used to knock on and off the Dimple Sub, Knock on the External Dimple Connector or also remove the Connector. The Removal Sub provided a means of holding onto the Connector during fitting and removal. A pull test will confirm the External Dimple Connector has been fitted correctly and a pressure test will verify that a seal has been maintained.
