Product Description
API Tubing Couplings are precision-engineered connectors designed to join tubing strings in oil and gas wells, ensuring leak-proof integrity under high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT), and corrosive conditions. Manufactured to API 5CT/5B standards, these couplings enable secure connections for production tubing, injection strings, and completions equipment. Their robust design minimizes failure risks in critical applications like sour gas wells, deepwater drilling, and hydraulic fracturing.

Comment & FAQ
1. What’s the difference between EUE and NU thread couplings?
A: EUE (External Upset End) has thicker walls at the ends for strength, while NU (Non-Upset) maintains uniform OD.
2. Can API tubing couplings be reused?
A: No – thread deformation post-installation compromises integrity. Always use new couplings.
3. Are couplings compatible with automated torque machines?
A: Yes – precision threads align with robotic make-up systems.
4. Do you provide NACE compliance documentation?
A: Yes – material test reports (MTRs) and NACE MR0175 certifications are included.
5. What’s the lead time for custom sizes?
A: 4–6 weeks for non-stock sizes, depending on material availability.
