Drill Pipe Protector – DIC Oil Tools

Drill pipe protectors are used to protect the threads and outer surfaces of drill pipes during transport, storage, and handling. Drill pipe protectors are typically made of durable materials, such as plastic or steel, and are designed to fit snugly over the threads and ends of drill pipes.

There are several types of drill pipe protectors, including:

1.    Thread protectors: These protectors cover the threads at the ends of the drill pipes to prevent damage or corrosion during transport and storage.

2.    Pin and Box protectors: These protectors cover both the pin and box ends of the drill pipes, providing complete protection during storage and transportation.

3.    Plastic protectors: These protectors are made of durable plastic and are designed to fit tightly over the threads and ends of the drill pipes.

4.    Steel protectors: These protectors are made of heavy-duty steel and are designed to withstand rough handling and harsh environments.

Drill pipe protectors are important because they help prevent damage to the drill pipes, which can result in costly downtime and repairs. By using drill pipe protectors, companies can prolong the life of their drilling equipment and save money in the long run.
