What does a liner hanger do in drilling process?

Liner is basically a kind of casing the main difference b/w liner and ordinary casing is that , the ordinary casing extends from surface to particular depth but in case of liner it does not extend from surface to particular depth but it attaches with the last part of the above casing .For example if you have drilled TD of 15000 ft and you have to install a liner at the bottom and suppose the liner length is 200ft.All the other casings will be installed from surface to to its particular desire depth but liner will be installed at the bottom of the other casings . Advantages 1.Economics: you save the cost of 14800 ft of steel or aluminum . 2.Reducing the pressure at the surface: If you install a liner having a length of 15000 ft it will produce a lot of pressure on the surface .


What is the item used under the shower pan that creates the slope for the drain when installing a new shower?

The item used under the shower pan to create the slope for the drain is called a "shower pan liner" or "shower pan membrane". It is typically made of PVC or CPE (chlorinated polyethylene) and is installed over the subfloor and around the drain to create a waterproof barrier. The liner is then sloped towards the drain using a combination of techniques, such as sand or mortar beds, pre-sloped foam panels, or adjustable slope systems. The choice of method depends on the specific requirements of the installation and the installer's preference. Once the liner is in place and sloped properly, the shower pan can be installed on top of it, and the tile or other finish material can be applied. Proper installation of the shower pan liner is crucial for ensuring that water drains properly and does not seep into the subfloor or surrounding areas, causing damage or mold growth. HydroBlok systems are known for their durability, water resistance, and ease of installation. They can be used for both residential and commercial applications and are suitable for a variety of finishes, including tile, stone, and vinyl.
