IPI packer technology is probably the most versatile of inflatable packer technologies and has many potential non standard formats and applications (see IPI Technology).
In addition to enabling variations to standard inflatable packer product dimensions and being able to quickly engineer OEM replacements, IPI has a tradition of taking on manufacturing challenges for customers needing non-standard equipment both for our traditional markets and for other industrial applications – for surface applications or offshore. IPI’s advantages and expertise include:
- Our design team draws from many years of experience in providing cost-effective solutions that work.
- The performance characteristics of our bonded construction and its inherent adaptability for different levels of reinforcement, OD, ID and length.
- Elastomers ranging from food grade rubber to 150 OC rated HNBR.
- Proven applications using inward inflating packer elements that act as seals, sampling or safety devices etc. see Article: Inward Inflating Packers also Example 1 picture below
- Many other format options eg fixed end elements, special “anchor” or “grip” finishes, limited or non standard inflation shape.
- Special packer body features such as integral ports, for sampling or injection through the element, or implanted steel buttons for electrical / electronic / sensor contacts.
- Our proprietary computer planning software that predicts packer performance characteristics which enables rapid specification and build.
