Radial Cutting Torch™

Product Info:

The RADIAL CUTTING TORCH™ tool is a patented cutting device used to sever tubing, casing, drill pipe and coiled tubing without the use of explosives or hazardous materials, making it one of the safest pipe cutting tools on the market.

The RCT utilises a proprietary and patented fuel contained within the torch body. When activated the resultant molten plasma is ejected through the patented nozzle section and is directed to cut the target tubing.

The RCT tool assembly is lowered into the well until desired depth is reached. The Thermal Generator ignites and activates the primary fuel load; causing an increase in internal pressure. Once the pressure produced inside the torch exceeds that of the well bore, the protective sleeve is displaced exposing the nozzle to the well bore. The plasma exits through the nozzle to sever the target in drilling, completion or production scenarios.

As the RCT Tool does not use explosives or hazardous chemicals, the tool can be shipped almost anywhere in the world within 24 hours, saving significant time and associated costs, while remaining compliant with safety regulations. This technology is developed and owned by MCR Oil Tools and is provided under license to Red Kite.
