20140034315 | Radial Conduit Cutting System and Method - What is presented is a metal magnalium thermite pellet that is used to create heated gas. The metal magnalium thermite pellet is made to be inserted into the cutting apparatus that is used for cutting a conduit for oil, gas, mining, and underwater pressure sealed tool applications. To cut the conduit, the cutting apparatus radially projects a flow of heated gas from the internal surface of the conduit through to its external surface. The metal magnalium thermite pellet is also made to be inserted into the high power igniter that releasably secures to the cutting apparatus. Generally, the metal magnalium thermite pellet comprises a metal magnalium thermite composition that consists of between 1 to 44 percent magnalium alloy, 1 to 44 percent aluminum, 40 to 60 percent iron oxide, and 10 to 20 percent polytetrafluoroethylene. | 02-06-2014 |
