Oil Tubing Thread Protector

A ‌tubing thread protector‌ (also called oil pipe thread guard or tubing collar) is a protective device designed to shield the threaded ends of oilfield tubing during transportation, storage, and handling. It prevents damage to the threads (e.g., dents, corrosion, or contamination) and ensures compatibility with mating connections. Common materials include polyethylene, polyurethane, or steel-plastic composites, with standards like API Spec 5CT or SY/T5991-94‌1.

Key features:

  • ‌Function‌: Protects TBG (tubing buttress thread) or UP TBG (upset tubing buttress thread) connections‌.

  • ‌Design‌: Often modular (e.g., split-ring or cap-style) for easy installation.

  • ‌Temperature resistance‌: Operates in -46°F to +66°F environments‌.

Casing Thread Protector

A ‌casing thread protector‌ (e.g., CSG/LCSG protector) safeguards the threaded ends of casing pipes (API round thread or buttress thread). It maintains geometric precision and prevents debris ingress, critical for well integrity.

Key distinctions:

  • ‌Thread types‌: Covers CSG (short round thread) or LCSG (long round thread) casings‌.

  • ‌Sealing role‌: Ensures thread-side sealing in API round threads (1:16 taper, 60° thread angle)‌.

  • ‌Industry use‌: Essential for drilling, completion, and workover operations‌.

Terminology Notes

  • ‌Aliases‌: Both are called pipe thread protectors or guard rings in broader contexts‌.
  • ‌Standards‌: API, ISO, and SY/T5991-94 specify dimensional and performance requirements‌.
