Drill Pipe Thread Protector

Drill Pipe Protectors (DPP) are reinforced molded rubber pads that fit around the outside diameter of the drill pipe to provide a one-time downhole wear surface between the inside diameter of the casing and the drill string. DPP protects the casing ID from wear caused by the drill string. The most common applications are deviated wells, deep holes, fast rotation, high torque and offshore applications.
