A method for making slots in metal pipe and, in particular, slots less than 15 thousandths of an inch in width. Firstly, providing a metal pipe having an exterior surface and an interior surface which defines an axially extending interior bore. Secondly, cutting an axially extending elongate slot having a width that is larger than desired in the pipe with a cutting tool. The slot extends through the pipe providing fluid communication from the exterior surface to the interior surface. The slot has longitudinal peripheral edges. Thirdly, applying pressure to the exterior surface of the pipe along at least one of the longitudinal peripheral edges of the slot until the metal pipe is deformed sufficiently to close the slot to a desired width.

Méthode pour réaliser des fentes dans un tuyau métallique, en particulier des fentes d'une largeur de moins de 15 millièmes de pouce. Premièrement, utiliser un tuyau métallique ayant une surface extérieure et une surface intérieure définissant un trou intérieur dans la direction axiale. Deuxièmement, réaliser dans le tuyau une fente allongée en direction axiale plus large que nécessaire, à l'aide d'un outil coupant. La fente traverse le tuyau, permettant ainsi à du liquide de passer à l'intérieur du tuyau. La fente comporte des bords périphériques longitudinaux. Troisièmement, appliquer une pression sur la surface extérieure du tuyau le long d'au moins un bord périphérique longitudinal de la fente jusqu'à ce que le tuyau métallique soit suffisamment déformé pour fermer la fente à la largeur souhaitée.
