Switch Surface Tester
The Switch Surface Tester (SST) unit is a portable, battery powered test panel designed as part of the Owen Ballistic Delivery System (BDS) product line. It provides a safe and dedicated means of testing the functionality of a “LIVE” FIRE SWITCH ballistics tool string on the surface.
Documentation
It not only checks that all the switches in a gun string are working and connected but it can also measure the resistance of each detonator in the string and confirm that the electrical connection to the detonator is intact before running a gun in hole. The full system is fully compliant with API RP 67 and fully tested for use on a wellsite.
