Drill Pipe Inc. begins the manufacturing process utilizing the best material, that is, premium alloy steel with top-of-the-line mill certification credentials verifying metallurgy, Tensile strength, Yield strength and Elongation, all critical to the performance of the Drill Pipe.
We employ Inertia Welding technology for our pipe, from 2 7/8″-5 1/2,” and it is Submerge Arc Welded from 6″-7 5/8″. All threads are manufactured from 4140 Alloy Steel with heat-treatment enhancement Q&T, which further increases their strength and durability.
Expert machinists thread the tool joints on the most modern CNC Machining Centers the industry has to offer. Laser-aided Quality Control insures axial dimensions are correct so the tools are straight and run true. There are plenty of good reasons behind the quality of our Drill Pipe.
