OVERVIEW
DESCRIPTION:
The Spincat is a self-rotating swivel designed for coil tubing well service. The powerful
rotating jets cover a large area for efficient cleaning. Jet reaction force powers rotation
of the head. An internal fluid speed control maintains rotation speeds of 10 to 50 rpm.
The Spincat uses a synthetic silicone viscous fluid for lubrication. The fluid is available
from StoneAge as part number BJ 048-S.
The tool has a straight flow-through design with a leak-free high pressure seal so pump
power is not wasted. It has a 7/8" AMMT box inlet thread. The tool can be used at
temperatures up to 200°C (392°F), and can be used with up to 30% HCL and Nitrogen
injection. (Note: if used with HCL, flush tool with clean water after use.)
If the SpinCat™ will be used with high external borehole pressures, make certain that the
body of the tool is completely full of lubricating fluid; air pockets are compressible and
this could lead to oil seal failure and loss of lubrication.
The SpinCat™ can be used at operating pressures of 1000 to 5000 psi and flow rates of
0.5 to 1.5 bpm (21 to 63 gpm) with standard head porting.
The standard nozzle head has five drilled ports; one at 15 degrees forward, two at 45
degrees forward and two at 90 degrees to the axis of rotation. Customized heads
are available with variable drilled patterns to concentrate the flow in a particular direction.

DANGER
Operations with this equipment can be potentially hazardous. Caution must be exercised
prior to and during machine and water jet tool use. Please read and follow all of these
instructions, in addition to the guidelines in the WJTA Recommended Practices handbook,
available online at
www.wjta.org
. Deviating from safety instructions and recommended
practices can lead to severe injury and/or death.
