Application of Rod Thread Lubricant:
A dedicated thread lubricant applied at every rod connection protects wireline core drill rod and adapter threads from galling and seizing, while sealing the joint against fluid loss during coring runs.
Features of Rod Thread Lubricant
– Formulated specifically for drill rod thread lubrication and airproofing.
– Suited to wireline core drill rod and adapter connections.
– Reduces thread galling on repeated make-up and break-out cycles.
– Helps maintain a fluid-tight seal at the joint.
More Introduction of Rod Thread Lubricant
Rod threads see repeated stress every time the string is tripped in and out of the hole. A proper thread compound spreads evenly under torque, keeps galling from starting on the first bad connection, and helps the next round of make-up go on clean.
Note: Apply a thin, even coat to clean, dry threads before each connection for best results.
