Di-Corp has enhanced the traditional core barrel head assembly with an innovative latching system that offers a greater mechanical advantage.
The EdgeLATCH™ Head Assembly is a robust, reliable tool that is supplied complete with landing indication. All Di-Corp EdgeLATCH head assemblies and conventional locking couplings are fully compatible with other popular industry core barrel assemblies. For those needing full assemblies, refer to our EdgeLATCH Core Barrel Assemblies & Options page.
Features of the improved EdgeLATCH™ latch design include:
- Provides a mechanical advantage during the “unlatching” or “unlocking” of the inner tube assembly.
- Maximizes the efficiency with which the latches are pulled inward.
- Transfers the pulling force of the latch retraction case from the pin through to the latches.
- Provides reliable, secure latching with both tanged and non-tanged locking couplings via an integrated latch spring that makes each latch move independently from the other.
- Prevents contamination for prolonged life of bearing and offers increased impact resistance on the bearing.
Di-Corp’s EdgeLATCH Surface Core Barrel offering includes standard sizes from B to P and the Pump-In Core Barrel includes B to H.
