OCS GunTags™

• Did you know that perforating guns must be marked and labeled, just like any other hazardous material? 

• Did you know that all explosives, including perforating guns,  must be marked with an EX-number assigned by U.S. Department of Transportation (49 CFR 172.320)?

• Do you know what hazard classification and UN number to use with perforating guns?

Meeting these requirements with perforating guns can be difficult due to odd configurations, uneven surfaces, etc.  The OCS GunTag™ is the simple, one-step answer.

(click the image to view a larger picture)

• One tag incorporates the DOT hazard label PLUS all markings required:   proper shipping name, ID number, Ex-number, and consignor's address.
  
• Includes the your company's EX-number for perforating guns.
  
• Reusable -- laminated for extra-long life and many trips to the field.
  
• Two-sided, so that hazard information is always visible

All you have to do to use the OCS GunTag™ is attach one to each perforating gun using a wire, string, or nylon tie-strap (not included).  Nothing to fill out, nothing to mark, NOTHING TO FORGET!!

Prices do not include sales tax or shipping charges.
