 OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION:
The SC-168 is a self-rotating nozzle designed for coil tubing well service. The powerful
rotating jets cover a large area for efficient cleaning. Jet reaction force (thrust) powers
rotation of the head. An internal centrifugal speed control maintains rotation speeds of
150 to 200 rpm. The tool uses a high viscosity synthetic gear oil for lubrication, such as
Chevron HiPerSYN® 220, Mobil SHC™ 630 or an equivalent. The oil is available from
StoneAge® as part number SC250 048.
The tool has a straight flow-through design with a leak-free high pressure seal so
pump power is not wasted. It has a 1" AMMT box inlet thread. The tool can be used at
temperatures up to 200°C (392°F), and can be used with up to 30% HCL and Nitrogen
injection. (Note: if used with HCL, flush tool with clean water after use.)
If the tool is to be used with high external borehole pressures, make certain that the body
of the tool is completely full of lubricating fluid; air pockets are compressible and this
could lead to oil seal failure and loss of lubrication.
The SC-168 can be used at operating pressures of 1000 to 5000 psi and flow rates of 0.7
to 1.33 bpm (32 to 80 gpm) with standard head porting. Custom porting can be ordered
for use up to 5 bpm (200 gpm).

PRESSURE / FLOW RANGE

PRESSURE R09
1000-5000 PSI .7 -1.33 BPM

The standard nozzle head has five ports with 1/8 npt threads; one at 15 degrees
forward, two at 45 degrees forward and two at 90 degrees to the axis of rotation.
Some of the ports may be plugged in a balanced pattern to concentrate the flow in a
particular direction. Alternate head porting patterns may be added to the same head
to accommodate different flow rates. Hi-flow Flushing, Perf Stim, and Forward Cutting
configurations are available. Verify with StoneAge Downhole Jetting App that porting
changes result in sufficient torque to ensure rotation.

DANGER
Operations with this equipment can be potentially hazardous. Caution must be exercised
prior to and during machine and water jet tool use. Please read and follow all of these
instructions, in addition to the guidelines in the WJTA Recommended Practices handbook,
available online at www.wjta.org. Deviating from safety instructions and recommended
practices can lead to severe injury and/or death.

 PRE-RIH CHECKLIST

PRE-RIH CHECKLIST:
• After receipt on location, visually inspect the SC-168 to ensure no small debris has
entered the tool. NOTE: The StoneAge SpinCat™ package includes a briefcase size
Pelican® case. We recommend keeping the tool and spare parts inside the case.

• Verify the threaded orifice nozzles are clear and installed correctly. DO NOT insert
hard wire or nails or other objects into the orifices to verify that they are clear. Use
a flashlight. Newly manufactured orifice nozzles now have flow straighteners inside
the orifices. These improve the quality of the jet stream. Remember to filter or
screen the fluids keeping particles to a size no larger than 1/3 the ID of the orifice
nozzle. Example: CNP2 125 orifice nozzle: 0.125 ÷ 3 = 0.041 max particle size.

• Verify there is no oil leaking from the set screw or body. If the set screw is missing
and oil has leaked out then use a StoneAge® service kit syringe and refill the oil.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to take time to work the air bubbles out of the oil.

• Turn the head by hand. It should rotate very smoothly but not spin freely. There
should not be any stoppage or feeling of binding or catching internally.

• Ensure the wiper seal on the inlet nut is in place. The function of this seal is to
prevent debris from plugging the vent holes. The vent hole’s function is to vent
internal pressure build-up should the high pressure (HP) tungsten impregnated seal
fail or leak intermittently while reseating itself. If the wiper seal is lost or missing it
can be replaced with a suitable size Viton® O-Ring as a temporary measure.

•The SC-168 is made of hardened stainless steel for long service life with strong acids,
chemicals and solvents. We recommend you do not use pipe wrenches on the tool.
Customers who have 2-4 year old tools that are still in excellent condition, NEVER
use pipe wrenches on their StoneAge SpinCats™. Over time teeth cuts accumulate
on the inlet nut, the body, and head and “chew up” the tool. Eventually these parts
have to be replaced unnecessarily. Some customers do not feel this is of significant
importance and if replacement parts becomes necessary we can supply them.

• When function testing, watch for leakage around the orifice nozzles. Also watch
for leakage along the body and behind the head. This indicates an improperly
redressed tool. Also watch for leakage from around the wiper seal, the high
pressure seal might leak during initial pressurization but should stop once enough
pressure to achieve rotation has been reached. The only place water should be
exiting the tool is through the nozzles. The head should rotate slowly and smoothly.

• If the head does not rotate during a function test but it rotates easily by hand, it
could be the pump rate and pressure must be increased or the tool is simply “tight”
or “cold,” or there is very heavy oil in the tool and it will loosen up in the hole, or
the tool may be jetted improperly. Check the StoneAge Downhole Jetting App. A
simple but frequent problem in function tests is the test fluid does not contain
viscosity reducer but the job requires it due to extremely high friction pressures.

 LUBRICANT FILL INSTRUCTIONS

TOPPING OFF LUBRICANT:

The SC-168 uses synthetic gear oil for a lubricant. To top off the tool with lubricant,
follow steps below. If the tool is being rebuilt or the seal replaced, the lubricant may
be poured directly into the body around the shaft before the inlet nut is installed. Once
the inlet nut is installed, it is recommended to use the syringe with the port screw ports
to completely remove all air bubbles. High borehole pressures make this a critically
important step when assembling the tool. The procedure requires some patience, time
and effort i.e. rotating the body back and forth to work out all air bubbles, wait, repeat.
If a vice is available in the field we recommend removing the inlet nut and topping off
through the open top, working the air bubbles out by rotating the body and allowing to
sit.
1. Tilt the tool at a 45 degree angle and secure so that one port screw is at the topmost point
2. Fill the syringe (BC 410) with lubricant.
3. Remove both Port Plugs with O-rings (SC250 026).
4. Thread the syringe into bottom port screw.
5. Hold the tool at an angle so the port with the syringe is lower.
6. Squeeze fluid into the tool until all air bubbles stop coming out.
7. Rotate the body back and forth from the head to work air bubbles out and inject oil.
Repeat
8. Re-install the Port Plugs.
9. Store the Tool with inlet nut facing up.

 TROUBLESHOOTING

HIGH-PRESSURE SEAL LEAK:

• The high pressure seal may leak initially at lower pressures, but should pop closed as
pressure is increased. A continuous leak at operating pressure from the weep holes
indicates the need to replace the HP Seal and Seat. HP Seals wearing out too quickly
can be an indication that the HP Seat is installed upside-down, or the tool is rotating
too fast. If the tool is leaking, but not over rotating, the SC212 602 Seal Kit is required.

TOOL WILL NOT ROTATE:

•   Check the nozzles for plugging or wear (nozzles have to be removed to check for
obstructions).
•  Check that the nozzle sizes are correct for the desired flow and that the desired flow
matches the head flow range.
•  Check that the nozzle sizes are installed in a balanced configuration.
•  If the tool feels rough when manually rotating the head, this indicates internal
damage and SC168 610 Overhaul Kit will be required.
•  Check head by hand to make sure it rotates freely. If it does not rotate freely by hand,
the tool needs to be disassembled and repaired. Research from field reports show
that exceeding set-down weight may bend the headshaft ever so slightly and prevent
rotation.

LOCK-UP TROUBLESHOOTING TIP:

• Rotate in reverse 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 turns to unlock braking mechanism. If tool rotates
smoothly then redress may not be required.
• If the head rotates freely by hand, check the jet sizes and calculate pressure loss
through the coil tubing and check with your distributor or StoneAge® to make certain
there is enough jet torque to provide rotation.
• Verify using the StoneAge Downhole Jetting app, contact your factory authorized
StoneAge SpinCat™ dealer or contact StoneAge®, Inc.

TOOL ROTATES TOO FAST:

• If the head rotates too fast, clean out old lubricating fluid and replace with fresh
lubricant.
• If tool is showing heavy scuffing damage to body, we suggest that the customer
install an available fluted body.

STORAGE

TOOL STORAGE:
The SC-168 should NOT be stored in a used condition with wellbore and pumped fluids
possibly migrating into the lubricant chamber. Flush with fresh water and perform a seal
redress after HCL, Xylene or Toluene chemical treatment jobs. Downhole tools, especially
through tubing tools tend to be stored upside down in tool racks with threaded stubs welded
to rack base. Storing the tool in this manner allows air to collect at the top of the lubricant
chamber. We recommend the StoneAge SpinCat™ be stored with inlet nut facing up to avoid
this air pocket. It may also be stored horizontally.
