Products
Name: TAILORED TUBES
Description: Seamless tube of high strength aluminium for aluminium drill pipe application
Details:
For the design of Aluminium Drill Pipes seamless tubes from high strength alloys are the appropriate material. The fixture of the necessary tool joints requires an increased wall thickness at the end of the tubes. In addition a larger outer diameter is necessary in the middle section of the tubes. The OTTO FUCHS extrusion technology allows the realisation of these dimensional features according to API-specification during the extrusion process.
Advantages of an Aluminium Drill Pipe
- low weight
- high durability and reliability
- excellent drilling characteristics
- not susceptible to embrittlement
- higher elasticity and smaller bending radius as compared to a steel tube
- improved hydraulic design
- high safety in operation
- corrosion resistant to numerous media
Name: SEAMLESS ALUMINIUM TUBES WITH EXTRUDED FLANGE
Description: One piece seamless tubes of high strength aluminium with an extruded flange
Details:
The fitting of tubes usually requires the application of separate flanges which are assembled or welded to the tube. The joining zone is usually characterised by lower strength due to the heat affected zone in case of welding or might cause density issues in case of assembled solutions.
In contrast the OTTO FUCHS extrusion technology allows the production of seamless tubes with an integrated flange at one end just during the extrusion operation, which offers improved strength and reliable density between tube and flange
