If the housing section, and the ends, are in good shape, then the unit can be rebuilt (and upgraded if applicable). We have special equipment for extracting the payload and internal guts of the Thermohousing. From there, we check the wear and tear of the housing, o-ring seal surfaces, and the condition of all the other salvageable components. We then re-manufacture it to as-new condition (except dings and operational scars), and finally pressure test it to the same pressure level which it was tested when new.

N=K=W only repairs (and upgrades) Thermohousings manufactured by N=K=W. We decline repairing any unit manufactured (or repaired) by anyone else. This has to do with the level of quality control, documentation and traceability acceptable to N=K=W. For example: the engraving of our TradeMark and serial identification on a Thermohousing, implies that all of it's components and processes, have been properly done, and are fully traceable. Specially it's chemical composition, weldments, heat treating, and pressure rating. All of this is very important for a component designed to operate close to it's strength limits. It also demonstrates the responsibility level of the Thermohousing manufacturer toward the entity responsible for paying for a down-hole calamity: the well operator. We recommend throwing away any Thermohousing which turns out to be bad, and has no identification markings.

Next time buy one made by N=K=W. We extend a 2 year Warranty for our products, at no additional cost to you.
