Abstract

Le dispositif est destiné à mandriner les tubes profilés qui sont montés pour obturer des zones difficiles de forage de puits, ainsi que pour redresser des tubages déformés. Le dispositif comprend une structure (1) et un élément de mandrinage (3) monté dans des coussinets (4, 5) sur un tourillon (2) situé sur la structure (1) et faisant angle avec l'axe longitudinal de cette dernière. L'élément de mandrinage (3) comporte un segment sphérique (9) dont la surface externe est constituée de sections interchangeables de surfaces sphériques (10) et de surfaces latérales cylindriques (11), dont les axes géométriques sont situés dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe (13) du tourillon (2).

Claims (1)

  1. Dispositif pour le laminage de tubes, comprenant un boîtier (1) et un élément de laminage (3) disposé dans celui-ci selon un angle par rapport à l'axe longitudinal géométrique de celui-ci et qui est monté dans des paliers (4, 5) sur un tourillon (2), caractérisé en ce que l'élément de laminage (3) est réalisé sous forme d'un segment de sphère (9) dont la surface extérieure est formée par des portions alternantes d'une surface de sphère (10) et de surfaces latérales de cylindres (11) dont l'axe longitudinal géométrique (12) s'étendent dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe de tourillon (13).
