Quality
All Tool Joints are manufactured to meet or exceed the latest edition
of API Spec 7-1 or new upcoming Spec 5 DP & Spec 7-2. The tool
joint connections are precision threaded on CNC lathes and are inspected
with hardened and ground gages along with precision calibrated measuring
thread gages.

Manufacturing
Tool Joints are manufactured from 4137M Steel. The forgings are
Polymer quenched and tempered to meet the required material properties.
The Brinell Hardness value is checked on each tool joint for verification.
Each tool joint is also Magnetic Particle Inspected (MPI) to verify
there are no material defects after threading.
Tool joints are manufactured with 2” longer than standard (LTS)
Tongs as a standard, but 4” LTS tongs can be supplied per customer
specification.
::
Phosphate Coating
All new threads are hot phosphate coated to aid in reducing galling
and adhesion of the thread compound.
