Improved Flow Capacity - Smoother interior integral joint increases efficiency and resists scale/paraffin build-up.

TUBING
Improved Downhole Make & Break Performance
• ACT Tubing -
Less breakout torque, tight threaded tolerances, less thread wear and higher thread shear.

• Superior Downhole Performance - Continuous axial and balanced hoop reinforcement.
