Casing & Pipe Protectors

The Clamp-on Casing / Tubing Protectors are used by the Rig operators while handling Tubulars between the rack and the rig floor. 

Clamp-on Casing Protector eliminates abrasion on the threads of the casing pipe while transportation and guarantee total threaded ends protection against corrosion and stresses that may occur during handling. They have more holding power compared to Inflatable Casing Protectors. The steel cage is compressed onto the casing pipes by means of steel clamps, putting more force into the holder power of the protector. Due to their tough built, these protectors require minimum maintenance compared to the Inflatable Protectors. 

CSS Clamp-on Casing Protectors are available in both polyurethane and highest grade of tough special polymers. They are built on special spring-steel cage for the superior grip and specially designed stainless-steel handles ensures quick gripping and removing from the casing threads. Polyurethane Clamp-On Casing Protectors are more long lasting compared to the Rubber Protectors.

A thread protector is used to protect the threads of a pipe during transportation and storage, can be used on Casing Pipe, Tubing, Drilling Pipe. 

They are generally manufactured from plastic or steel and can be applied to the pipe manually or automatically (by machine), and they are used frequently in the oil and gas industry to protect pipes during transportation to the oil and gas fields. 

And there are mainly 2 categories: HDPE Plastic Thread Protector, Metal Thread Protector. 

Commonly the price for plastic thread protector is lower than that of metal plastic composite protector. Because there is steel material attached on second type. For Tubing, plastic thread protector is always the choice.

There are mainly 2 categories of protectors used commonly: HDPE Plastic Thread Protector, Metal Thread Protector. 

Metal thread protectors can be cleaned and re-used, while plastic thread protectors are often collected and either re-used or recycled. The heavy duty HDPE Plastic thread profile prevent all contact between the steel bumper & the thread connection thereby eliminating possibility of bi-metallic corrosion.

CSS Drill Pipe / Casing Protectors are made of Nitrile Rubber having shore hardness 85 ± 5A with spring Steel Insert and Tapered Lock Pin Design for high abrasion, wear and tear and oil resistance.  

Spiral-Fluted Drill Pipe / Casing Protector are best suited for applications where there are high circulations of mud. In fluted design the OD of the protectors are bigger hence making it more shock absorbing and the fluted space on the outer surface of the protectors helps the mud to pass through the protectors easily.

CSS’s Drill pipe / Casing Protectors are easy and quick to install with tapered locking pins. A special design of the pin-head ensures a positive lock on the drill pipe and easy removal. Various mechanical and hydraulic installation tools are available for the installation and removal of the Drill pipe / Casing Protector.

We produces drill pipe protectors suitable for drill pipe sizes 3-1/2” to 5-7/8”.
