TUBING THREADED PROTECTORS REV. 6
The primary function of a thread protector for the pipe ends is to protect the threads and
critical sealing areas from impact. This type of damage may occur at any point during the
transportation and handling process. From the time the pipe leaves the threading facility until
the time the pipe is run downhole at the rig floor, these critical areas must be adequately
protected. Also the tests must be performed at three different environmental conditions -
46°C, +21°C and + 66°C (-50ºF, 70ºF, 150ºF), that potentially could modify the characteristics
of the protectors. For the tests it has been employed a guillotine that reproduces the energies
described. Thread protectors shall be made-up on short pipe samples and tested at the loads
specified in Table 1. The protectors will be screwed with recommended torque. Stabilize the
made-up test pieces at the test temperature. Apply the load specified in Table1 using a
minimum 60,1 cm. (24") free fall height. Protectors must withstand axial and angular impacts
as specified Table 1 without damage to the machined surface of the Pin or the Box. Protectors
will be considered acceptable provided the machined surface of the threaded connections
specimens are not damaged or deformed (ovality phenomena).
Axial Impact
The surface impact will be a bar steel with 38 mm of diameter. The protectors must avoid
damages at the machined surface of the joint in three different environmental conditions -
46°C, +21°C and + 66°C. During the axial impact the 38mm (1,5”) bar hit the protector in the
centre of its axe as described in the following picture.

Angular Impact
For angular impact it has been employed a flat steel plate. During an angular impact the
acceptance criteria are the same of the axial ones, however when a bundle of tubes hits a
solid object angularly the energy is smaller of that receipt during a pure axial collision. For the
angular test impact a flat steel plate is employed as in the following picture with a 45° angle.

Pipe or coupling
Failure of the test is defined as any noticeable indentation of the front edge (sealing area)
of the pipe or as thread element damage.
Lateral Impact
An ambient temperature lateral impact tests on the pin protector shall be performed to
simulate a blow across the threads. For this test the impact bar shall be oriented
perpendicular to the pipe axis.
Vibration Test
During transport of pipe or when bundles of pipes are carried by road on the back of a
trailer, thread protectors are submitted to vibration loading. Under these condition protectors
must remain screwed to continue to provide an optimum protection. Make-up the test pieces
at ambient temperature with storage compound using the recommended installation torque.
Perform vibration testing per MIL STD-810. Test shall be conducted at a minimum of 900 RPM
(15 hertz) with a minimum of 0.33 inches vertical displacement. The protector shall not fall off
or out during a one-million-cycle test. After the completion of the test measure and record the
breakout torque for the protector.

Stripping Test
The stripping test is fundamental to evaluate the capacity of a pin protector to remain on
the pipe when an axial force is exerted on the inner edge. This force might be a result of a
relative motion between two adjacent joints during the transportation, or it might occur
during handling when a pipe is dragged along the ground up to the drill floor.
Here the formulas applied:
Fax : 60 * W
Where,
Fax : Axial Force (Pounds force);
W: Nominal Weight. (Pounds/Feet)
According TSH-PQ-00.0006 (rev.01)
For the realization of the test a mass defined by the below formula is employed. It is hung
at the pin connection to which it has been mounted a protector. The recommended
installation torque must be applied. With the aid of a ring that goes to contact of the inner
edge of the protector, the mass is lifted exercising the demanded axial force. The mass must
be supported and at the end of the test the protector is screwed and verified the threads
condition.

For protectors designated as liftable, a test shall be conducted to confirm the suitability of
the protector in lifting applications. The test set-up is at the discretion of the manufacturer,
but must be approved by customer. Two separate test shall be performed using the same
load, but at different angles to represent different types of rigging set-ups.
For the first test load the lifting wire shall apply the load in a direction approximately
perpendicular to the axis of the pipe sample.
For the second test load the lifting wire shall apply a load in a direction approximately 20°
from the axis of the pipe. The test load shall be calculated as follows:
Make-up the test pieces at ambient temperature with storage compound using the
recommended torque. Apply the load and hold for 5 minutes. Remove the load and inspect
the connection for damage. The type of hook, loads and test set-up shall be documented.
Corrosion Test
A protector should be able to prevent water penetration along threaded area in order to
prevent potential corrosive attack of threads and seals.
Make-up the test pieces at ambient temperature with storage compound using the
recommended torque. The cut-off end of the connector shall be sealed and vented to allow
circulation, or a pin by box test sample may be used. A salt spray test per ASTM B117 shall be
conducted for as minimum of 1000 hours at + 35°C (95°F). The test piece shall be oriented in
the test chamber to simulate pipe rack storage. At the completion of the test remove the
sample and inspect for corrosion. Seal surfaces shall have no corrosion damage. Other areas
of the connection shall have less than 10% damage on the external surfaces of pin
connections and the internal surfaces of box connections. Record the storage compound used
and provide photographs of any corrosion areas.
PE protectors must be compatible with the chemical agents usually employed to clean
joints. For the test we have fulfilled a 3 ½” tubing protector in the chemical agents, list here
under, at 50° temperature for 24 hours. A diameter’s variation bigger than 10% and a
hardness advanced 10 grades (Shore D) determine the failure of the test.

Torque Test
The purpose of this test is to determine how the protector reacts to temperature changes
and excessive make-up torque. Protectors which are damaged during make-up will be more
susceptible to loosen or falloff during transportation and handling. Temperature changes can
affect the fit of the protector.
To evaluate the torque stripping resistance of the thread protector during make-up, and
attempt should be made to "strip-out" the pin and box protector.
The required "strip-out" torque must meet or exceed the torque limits specified below:
To evaluate the effects of temperature, make-up the sample using storage compound
using the manufacturer's recommended practice and torque. Record the temperature and the
torque used for make-up. Stabilize the samples at -50°F, 68°F and 150°F and breakout the
protector recording the torque. Torque values shall not be greater than 135% or less than 65%
of the make-up torque.
Measure and record the thread diameters on the protector at 21°C (70°F). Stabilize the
samples at -46°C (-50°F), and 66°C (150°F) and immediately measure and record the thread
diameters. Re-stabilize the samples at 21°C (70°F) measure and record dates again. Changes
in thread diameter resulting in thread engagement of less than one-half the specified thread
height per side shall be unacceptable throughout the design temperature range.
The purpose of this test is to determine how the protector responds to environment
changes and UV protector resistance. It is sufficient one test sample of each used color
master or paint. Test period for protector storage must be at least one year. No protector
damages, paint detaching or color changes are accepted.

Vibration Test
PRODUCT: 5 1/2 ” LTC / BTC PROTECTOR
Samples were inspected and prepared following the API specifications according to
MIL-TD-810 norm.
RESULTS:
Stripping Test
PRODUCT: 5 1/2 ” LTC / BTC PIN PROTECTOR
According to the general specification the product of the Line BSC-C and BSC-T protectors
the shape of the liftable side is conform to most common hooks employed in the rigs.
The test has been performed on 5 ½” and 9 5/8” sizes with the appropriate range of hooks
type UNI4395 and DIN 15401.
Torque Test
PRODUCT: 5 1/2 ” LTC / BTC PROTECTORS
To evaluate the torque stripping resistance of the thread protector during make-up and
attempt should be made to "strip-out" the pin and box protector was applied 160 ft-lbs "strip-
out" force torque as described in the specification.
Both PIN and BOX protectors passed the test.
The pipe connections are obviously measured exactly in the corresponding diameters so
that protector and pipe diameters are comparable. The sets are measured on the defined areas
The sets are first measured and recorded at 21°C.
Then the sets are cooled in a liquid nitrogen bath: When the specified temperature is
reached (-46°C), the sets are controlled again.
Then the protectors are heated in an oven and when the specified temperature is reached
(66°C), the sets are measured and controlled again. Those are finally checked again when
reaching the room temperature (21°C). Values measured in mm.
