Wire Line Sockets Catalog Home

     The Rampp rope sockets shown on this page are the most commonly used for cable tool drilling. All Rampp sockets are made from special selected steel, precision machined to A. P. I. Standards. Please specify line size when ordering.

     The prosser swivel wire line socket is manufactured to the latest standard API Specifications. Active where it counts most, this type swivel socket is the most frequently used for wire line drilling. The swivel rotates in the body of the socket so that the swivel seats properly to give longer life to the socket. All swivels are hardened for longer wear.   

     The babcock stiff wire line socket is used by putting the line through the top of the socket and then secured by babbitting the line into the neck from the box end. This socket does not swivel and is commonly used for fishing jobs.

 
     The burns open side type uses the same principle as the Prosser socket except that a slot in the side of the socket allows insertion and removal of the mandrel for inspection of the wire line or for resetting without the necessity of breaking the tool joint. All swivels are hardened for longer wear.

 

 

 

 Buttons for Swivel Sockets

     Buttons for Prosser or Burns sockets can be used in the seat of the socket after wear to extend the life and efficiency of the tool. Button has same diameter as the swivel.
