A threaded coupling is a mechanical connector designed to join two threaded components, such as drill rods, pipes, or casing sections, in various drilling and piping applications. It ensures a secure, tight connection while allowing for easy assembly and disassembly.
- Design: Internally threaded (female) on both ends to join two male-threaded components. The threaded coupling is designed to withstand high axial loads and torque forces in drilling and piping applications. They are optimized for minimal energy loss during impact and rotary drilling.
- Applications: Threaded couplings are used in various industries to enable efficient, strong, and leak-proof connections.
- Rock Drilling & Mining: Connects drill rods, shank adapters, and extension rods in percussive and rotary drilling; used in underground and surface mining, tunneling, and quarrying.
- Oil & Gas Drilling: Joins drill pipes, casing, and tubing in petroleum extraction; used in well construction and completion for deep drilling operations.
- Geotechnical & Exploration Drilling: Connects core barrels, drill rods, and casing in geological and soil sampling; ensures stability and depth control in mineral exploration.
- Construction & Foundation Drilling: Used in piling, anchor drilling, and ground reinforcement; connects sections of augers and micropiles for infrastructure projects.
- Water Well & Hydrogeological Drilling: Connects borehole casing and drill rods in well drilling applications; provides a secure, watertight joint for groundwater extraction systems.
- Industrial Piping & Fluid Transport: Used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and gas pipeline systems; ensures leak-proof connections in high-pressure piping networks.
- Materials: Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel, stainless steel, or carbon steel for durability. Surface treatments like nitriding, phosphating, or galvanizing enhance corrosion and wear resistance.
- Configurations: Thread Type: H-Thread, H55, R25 to R51, T38 to T51, Titan30 to Titan52. Thin, Normal and Heavy Duty wall types with or without flats.
