Once the rod and tubing have been pulled from the well, the sandline is used to lower tools down into the well for repair or for swabbing out the well. In these processes the sandline is exposed to chemical solutions in the well that can lead to corrosion of the wire rope.

6 x 7 classification sand lines. The vast majority of this market utilizes a 6x7 Bright Fiber Core. In a 6x7 rope, the wires are larger than those of other constructions of the same diameter. Wires of a 6x7 are approximately twice the diameter of outer wires of a 6x25 FW rope. The large size of the outer wires gives this class excellent abrasion resistance -at great sacrifice of bendability and resistance to fatigue. The standard 6x7 rope construction is made with fiber core and right regular lay.

6X7 FC

6 x 7 Galvanized sand line. Designed for harsh conditions.
Where extremely corrosive conditions shorten the service life and effectiveness of bright sand lines, the WireCo WorldGroup 6x7 galvanized delivers the goods. Zinc-coated to perform better in hostile down-hole conditions, our 6x7 galvanized sand line reduces rope changes, downtime, and increases productivity.

6X7 GALVANIZED

• Provides longer service in hostile down-hole conditions
• Excellent abrasion resistance
• Operates smoothly and cleanly

5 x 7 classification sand lines.
Under normal conditions our 5 x7 Fiber Core (FC) lines have proven to be an economical tool for extending service life. These workhorses of the well servicing industry are available in both standard and swaged construction.

STANDARD 5x7 FC

• Designed specifically for sand line and swabbing operations
• Excellent handling and performance
• Very economical

SWAGED 5x7 FC

• Compacted swaged design provides greater strength per diameter
• Smaller diameter allows more rope to be spooled on the drum
• High density construction for greater crushing and abrasion resistance
• Compact cross section for greater surface area, less scrubbing, longer wear
