The Tool Joints can be supplied in Standard or Extra Long in accordance with API Specification 7-1.

The Tool Joint Forgings are turned, bored and faced prior to heat treatment by the Quench and Temper process to produce a uniform microstructure, high ductility, and other mechanical properties in accordance with API Specifications. The heat treatment is done under controlled atmosphere for consistent quality. The hardness of every tool joint is checked by Brinell Hardness Tester and recorded. The tensile and impact properties are verified by destructive testing of a tool joint representing each process batch. Every tool joint is subjected to wet magnetic particle inspection, both transverse and longitudinal, to insure the absence of defects.

Threads are precision machined on CNC lathes. All connections are 100% inspected for thread parameters and phosphatized either with Zinc or Manganese for antigalling treatment and protected with metal or composite thread protectors. All the Test and Inspection results are documented.

Any special Customer requirements with respect to identification and marking are adhered to and verified at all stages of manufacturing and prior to shipment.

Options available for Tool Joints are Make and Break, Cold Rolling of thread roots, and Hardfacing
