2-1/2" RTL Type Swab Cups | Dual-Lip Design for Medium to Light Loads

Product Introduction

The 2-1/2 inch RTL-type swab cup combines a molded rubber lip profile with a metal core for well-swabbing applications. For medium-to-light-load service, compare the dual-lip profile, core opening and seating dimensions with your existing cup and mandrel. Supply the service fluid, operating temperature and required hardness with your inquiry to select a replacement suited to the installed assembly.

Technical Specifications

	Material:	High-Abrasion Nitrile (NBR)
	Size:	2 1/2 Inch
	Style:	RTL
	Hardness:	80 to 90 Shore A

Key Features and Benefits

1. Lip Profile Inspection: Compare the sealing edges and their spacing with the removed cup. Check for cuts, flattening or uneven wear, and provide a side-view photograph when requesting a matching replacement.

2. Medium-to-Light-Load Selection: Specify the intended fluid load and installed cup arrangement. Select the configuration using the equipment operator’s procedure and the actual tubing bore rather than the nominal cup size alone.

3. Rubber Compound Selection: For an NBR requirement, include the service fluid and operating temperature with the inquiry. Abrasion requirements should be reviewed together with fluid compatibility and the required hardness.

4. Tubing Fit: Compare the actual tubing internal diameter with the cup drawing, including the sealing profile and installation dimensions. Report scale, pitting or other bore conditions that may affect selection.

5. Core and Seating Check: This product reference uses a rubber body with a metal core. Confirm the core opening and mandrel shoulder dimensions, and check the seating surfaces before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What is the benefit of the Dual-Lip design over a standard single lip?
Answer: The lip profile is a selection feature to compare against the existing cup. Actual sealing performance depends on the compound, tubing condition, cup arrangement and service conditions.

Question: Is this cup suitable for high-sand environments?
Answer: Include the sand content, particle conditions and existing cup wear pattern with your inquiry. Those details help assess the required profile and material; the product name alone does not establish sand-service suitability.

Question: Can I use these cups in 2-1/2 inch casing?
Answer: Confirm the actual bore and the mandrel dimensions first. A 2-1/2 inch nominal reference should not be treated as a universal tubing or casing fit.

Question: Does NBR work with oil-based completion fluids?
Answer: Provide the fluid composition and temperature when specifying NBR. Compatibility must be considered for the selected compound and the actual completion fluid.
