Oilfield Drilling Chemicals Oilfield drilling is a process of boring hole into to the earth crust for natural gas and oil. To do this, a long bit attached to a "drilling string" is used. The bit varies in diameter from five to 50 inches. After each section is drilled, a steel pipe slightly smaller than the hole diameter is dropped in and often cement is used to fill the gap.This "casing" with cement is used to give some structural integrity to the hole and to isolated high-pressure ar …

UNDERWATER WELDING AND ACCESSORIESThe concept of underwater welding is quite interesting. And if you are looking for detailed information about the process, then you have landed on the right page.Underwater welding is used in the repair of offshore structures and pipelines, ships, submarines, and nuclear reactors. Current techniques that are generally used are wet underwater welding and hyperbaric welding.Underwater welding work is needed when there are any structures or ships that requir …

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INVERTER WELDING MACHINE AND DIESEL ENGINE DRIVEN WELDING MACHINEWelding machines or welders as some people may call it, are among the most essential tools for a welding professional. Welding machines generate heat that melts metal parts, so that these parts can be joined. Nevertheless, there is no single welding machine that is suitable for all welding projects. INVERTER WELDING MACHINE An inverter welder is a relatively new and innovative type of welder that has a hos …

Hose Guard is a high-quality plastic specifically designed for hose protection in almost every environment. Flexible, elastic, smooth and with a wide temperature range, it ensures an optimal solution against abrasion and shocks. It is made of high-density polyethylene employing an extrusion process. Hose Guard has got rounded edges to avoid any damage to the hose cover. It is easy to install on hydraulic and industrial hoses to be or already assembled.The use of hose guard is an econ …

Nitrogen is a chemical element with symbol N and atomic number 7. Elemental nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and mostly inert diatomic gas at standard conditions. Scientist has proven that four-fifths of Earth’s atmosphere is nitrogen, which was isolated and recognized as a specific substance during early investigations of the air.Among the elements, nitrogen ranks sixth in outer space abundance. The atmosphere of Earth consists of 75.51% by weight (or 78.09% by volume) of nitrogen …

A hose is a flexible hollow tube designed to carry fluids from one location to another. Hose design is based on a combination of application and performance. Common factors are size, pressure rating, weight, length, straight hose or coil hose, and chemical compatibility.Industrial hoses are more than a flexible, reinforced tube. They are the heart of your operation serving as transfer lines for a variety of applications in today’s major industries. Each industry has its own specific needs …

What is crimping toolA crimping tool is a device used to conjoin two pieces of metal by deforming one or both of them in a way that causes them to hold each other. The result of the tool's work is called a crimp. A good example of crimping is the process of affixing a connector to the end of a cable. For instance, network cables and phone cables are created using a crimping tool (shown below) to join the RJ-45 and RJ-11 connectors to both ends of either phone or Cat 5 cable.How does it work?To u …

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METAL INERT GAS AND METAL ACTIVE GAS WELDING Welding is one of the joining processes that can efficiently and economically assemble two or more metallic or non-metallic parts permanently. With the extensive development throughout the years, a large number of such processes has evolved in order to cater the need to join a large variety of materials in innumerable ways. Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is one such process where metallic materials are joined p …

HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT STICK ELECTRODE FOR WELDING  Stick welding is a manual arc welding process. It requires a consumable electrode that is coated in flux to lay the weld, and an electric current is used to create an electric arc between the electrode and the metals that are being welded together. The electric current may be either an alternating current or a direct current from a welding power supply. Before choosing an electrode to weld with you need to unde …

TYPES OF WELDING GASES AND THEIR PURPOSE  Welding is the process of joining two pieces of materials such as thermoplastics or metal using high levels of heat. The melted parts are then left to cool in order to form a joint. Apart from electricity, there are gases which are often used in the welding process. Gases are often used with the aim of shielding the area which needs to be welded.Gas welding involves the use of a gas-fed flame torch to heat the metal work piece a …
