PERCUSSION INITIATOR

DESCRIPTION

The Fike Percussion Initiators are percussion fired initiators for use in downhole oil and gas completion operations. They are typically used in Tubing Conveyed Perforating (TCP) operations to initiate the detonation chain of perforating guns for the completion of oil and gas wells.

The Percussion Initiator is available in multiple configurations for direct replacement of existing Percussion Initiators (See Ordering Information Table). It is intended for use in existing tools that meet the firing pin travel limits, “allfire” characteristics and other specifications listed in the data sheet. The Fike Percussion Initiator is hermetically sealed to resist corrosion and manufactured to meet the following specifications.
