Drill pipe protectors are a vital piece of equipment for oil and gas operators. The significant investment that Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) requires means that producers need the highest quality protective equipment available on the market today. With MSI Pipe Protection Technologies’ Guardian line of drill pipe protectors, operators can rest assured they are getting the superior quality products.

Why Use Guardian Drill Pipe Protection Equipment

Drill string fatigue is the most common cause of failure in oil and gas operations. They are also the most expensive to repair. As the string constantly faces axial torque pressure and bending, it is difficult to accurately estimate the likelihood of a failure in-well. While different inspection and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods exist, it’s important to ensure drill pipes remain protected at all stages of the operation.

Drill Pipe Protection for Light-Duty Applications

As all drill strings operate under different environmental conditions, MSI’s light-duty drill pipe protectors can help extend the usable life of your equipment. Designed for short-term applications, MSI’s Guardian range of lightweight drill pipe protectors is an economical solution for producers.

Features of the Guardian lightweight drill pipe protectors are:

• Manufactured from lightweight high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
• Support all standard American Petroleum Institute (API) thread profiles and sizes
• Pin and box models for superior protection of both drill pipe ends
• Ideal for storage and handling in yards
• Made from completely recyclable materials
• Open or closed-ended models available

Heavy-Duty Drill Pipe Protection Solutions

For situations in which drill pipes need to operate under harsher conditions, or when they need to remain protected during transport and extended storage, MSI’s heavy-duty protectors can help. For maximum protection, models come in either steel or extra heavy-duty plastics. If you need to store your drill pipes for extended periods or transport them to a new location, our heavy-duty range of Guardian protectors will ensure your equipment’s integrity at every stage of the journey.
