Description
Drilling Kelly pipes are the primary drivers of the drill string, transmitting torsional energy from the rotary table through the drill string to the bit at the bottom of the hole. Our company provides high-quality Drilling Kelly pipes, precision-machined from heavy-duty steel bars to ensure durability and optimal performance. These pipes are available in square or hexagonal shapes and are designed to meet API specifications.
A Drilling Kelly pipe is a long, square or hexagonal steel bar that serves as a drive section in the drill string. It is supported by the swivel through the rotary table and is connected to the first joint of the drill pipe. The straightness of the Kelly pipe is crucial, and strict inspections are carried out before, during, and after machining operations.
Our Kelly pipes are engineered for:
-
High Torque Transmission: Ensuring efficient power transfer to the drill bit.
-
Durability and Precision: Manufactured from fully heat-treated AISI 4145H-modified alloy steel.
-
API Specification Compliance: Precision-milled flats to maintain tight tolerances and high-quality drive sections.
-
Enhanced Performance: Supplied with pressed steel thread protectors and shipped in a protective steel-cased scabbard.
