Thread Protector
Overview
Thread protectors, available in either metal or durable plastic, are specifically designed to safeguard pipe threads from degradation and damage during transportation and storage.
Importance
Asset Protection: Thread protectors play a vital role in preserving pipes, which represent significant investments for clients.
Cost Efficiency: By preventing thread damage, these protectors help mitigate downtime and avoid costly repairs, ensuring the operational integrity of the pipes.
Proper Fit: Ensuring a correct fit for thread protectors is essential for maximizing protection and performance.
SKY-E (VQ-5) stands as the only Chinese leader in thread protector manufacturing, with approvals from prestigious licensors including VAM, JFE, Tenaris, Hunting, VA, and TP. SKY-E has granted GDS Global Drilling Supplies LLC certified as our official partner and distributor in the GCC region.
Designed for API and premium threads with multiple options such as Open End, Close End, Liftable and Non-Liftable and are designed for extreme weather conditions.
ALP Protectors: Premium Full Plastic Thread Protection Solutions
ALP protectors are manufactured from high-quality polyethylene, utilizing advanced injection molding techniques. Threading is accomplished by CNC machining, allowing for efficient production while maintaining competitive pricing and exceptional quality.
Environmental Benefits
A key advantage of full plastic protectors is their recyclability, making them an ideal choice for environmental regulations. This commitment to sustainability aligns with global efforts to reduce waste and promote eco-friendly practices.
Product Variants
ALP protectors are available in three distinct types to accommodate diverse protection requirements:
Heavy Duty
Engineered for maximum protection in the most challenging environments.
Standard Duty
Provides reliable protection suitable for typical applications.
Light Duty
Designed for less demanding conditions, offering essential safeguarding.
ASM Protectors: Steel Plastic Assembled Advanced Protection Solutions for OCTG Applications
ASM protectors are engineered with a dual-material design, combining steel and plastic for optimal performance and durability.
PIN Type: Features an outer layer of steel with an inner layer of plastic, ensuring robust protection for threaded connections.
BOX Type: Incorporates plastic on the exterior and steel on the interior, providing enhanced defense against impact and environmental factors.
Both types are CNC threaded, guaranteeing precision and reliability in all API testing standards. Their superior design and construction make ASM protectors a preferred choice among OCTG mills, effectively safeguarding threaded connections during transportation and storage.
COM-Composite
Composite thread protectors are engineered with a durable steel cage encapsulated in plastic, delivering exceptional strength and high dimensional stability. Their anti-corrosive properties enhance longevity, making them suitable for rigorous applications.
Key Benefits
Reduced Packaging Requirements: The innovative design minimizes the need for additional packaging frames, resulting in cost savings and increased efficiency during transportation.
Enhanced Strength and Stability: ensures reliable protection for threaded connections, even in challenging environments.
Considerations
While composite thread protectors offer significant advantages, it is important to note that their mixed material composition poses challenges for recycling.
