2. Testing Procedures and Quality Performance: To ensure product integrity and field readiness, the following performance tests are recommended for the cementing wiper foam balls:

2.1 Air Wiping Test: Objective: Evaluate foam ball movement through the drill pipe using compressed air.

• Pressure Application: Compressed air (80–100 psi) is injected into one end of the drill pipe to propel the foam ball.

• Monitoring: The test monitors pressure drop (ΔP), flow rate (Q), and foam ball velocity (V). The formula applied for pressure drop calculation:

  Where:

  • : Pressure drop (Pa)

  • : Friction factor (dimensionless)

  • : Pipe length (m)

  • : Pipe ID (m)

  • : Air density (kg/m^3)

  • : Air velocity (m/s)

• Evaluation: Inspect the foam ball post-test for wear, deformation, or tearing. Internal pipe cleanliness is assessed by inspecting collected debris.

Pros: Faster operation, lower water usage. Cons: May not be as effective for heavy debris or mud due to air bypass potential.

2.2 Water Wiping Test: Objective: Assess cleaning efficiency under realistic mud conditions using water propulsion.

• Water Injection: Water is pumped at 300–500 psi depending on debris severity.

• Foam Ball Propulsion: The foam ball is propelled through the pipe by water pressure.

• Pressure Control: Pressure gauges monitor differential pressure along the pipe.

• Evaluation: The foam ball is inspected for structural integrity, and debris collected is analyzed.

Pros: Highly effective for mud and heavier debris. Cons: Higher water consumption, slightly slower process.

3. ID Testing Procedure: To verify proper sizing and fit for each ID, the following methods are applied:

• Static Fit Test: The foam ball is inserted into the pipe to ensure a tight, uniform fit (5%–10% oversized relative to pipe ID).

• Dynamic Test: Air or water propulsion confirms the ball's ability to navigate through the entire pipe without excessive resistance.

4. Debris Cleaning Medium: For heavy debris or mud, water wiping is the preferred method due to superior fluid dynamics. Air wiping is suitable for lighter debris and dry conditions.

We have confirmed that our supplier can perform both air and water tests to ensure quality and performance before dispatch.
