Xerafy Xplorer USThe Xerafy Xplorer is an extremely rugged UHF RFID tag specifically engineered for allow accurate tracking of down-hole and surface drill pipes, sub-sea oil pipes, blowout preventers (BOPs), wellheads and other metal assets used in the harshest environments of the oil and gas industry.
Designed for being quickly and securely snapped in a circular hole with diameter of 28mm drilled in the pipe surface, the tag accompanies the asset along its whole life.
Thanks to the performance of the UHF technology combined with an advanced RF design, the Xplorer offers high data rate and read range up to 1.5 meters when flush-mounted in metal, granting easy and fast identification also in difficult conditions, for instance with low luminosity and presence of dirt, and effective retrieval of data about technical specifications, maintenance history and usage information of each tagged asset.
Xplorer has been validated by tests simulating simultaneous high temperature and high pressure. Its rugged encasement, which is made of stainless steel 304 and a special polymer by Victrex, is rated IP69K and withstands very long exposure to high temperatures up to 250 degrees Celsius, high pressure up to 30000 psi, strong vibrations and shocks, sand blast processes, all kinds of corrosive chemicals typical of oil wells' drilling operations, including hydrogen sulphide (H2S).
The tag is ATEX certified for use in hazardous environments.
The Xplorer features the Alien Technology Higgs-3 chip and can be delivered pre-encoded and laser engraved.
This product version is specifically optimized to perform in the 902-928 MHz frequency band.
