Cs 3 Series Nonelastomeric
Sliding Sleeve
The CS-3-series nonelastomeric sliding sleeves are
communication devices with a ported inner sleeve.
Sizeable chokes are available as options for adjusting
the opening to the tubing annulus.
APPLICATIONS These sleeves are used in applications such as equalizing pressure
