Performance Contrast of Drill Pipe

API vs API DS vs Proprietary DS

What Keeps Your String Together?

Texas Steel Conversion presents the Performance Technology Plus Connection. When drilling shallow extended-reach horizontal and deep vertical wells, high torque performance is a must have.  Engineers designed the  Ptech+ connection to meet the demands of these drilling applications.  As a result, Ptech+ connections are competitive with any of the other Drill Pipe connections.
The PTech+ connection provides increased torque while still maintaining a streamline geometric design.  As a result, the torque capacity averages 65% ‐ 80% greater than API connections of the same OD and ID dimensions. Similarly, torque capacity averages 10% ‐ 30% greater than most proprietary high torque connections of the same OD and ID dimensions.
