Nimr, Oman - 4" & 6" 1250 psi Line Pipe
Advanced Composite Thread (ACT)

The Star premium molded threaded connection is manufactured with a special composite consisting of epoxy, graphite and ceramic. These materials, with a Teflon based lubricant and the consistent tolerances of ACT, provides exceptional sealability to high pressure fluids and gases with excellent make up and break out performance.  The molded connection provides higher
thread shear and chemical resistance and is preferred over cut or ground fiberglass threads for downhole tubing.  The ACT connection is manufactured with the industry standard API EUE 10RD, EUE 8RD and OD 8RD thread.  The connection is primarily offered as integral joint but also is offered threaded and coupled for downhole tubulars.  (patent no.'s 4,999,389 & 5,179,140)

8" 1000 SSS Line pipe, 100,000 feet

Precision Ground Thread (PGT)

Produced with numerically controlled grinding equipment, the tolerances provided by PGT require only the use of a Teflon based lubricant for make up.  This is an improvement over most typical cut or ground fiberglass threads which require the application of Teflon tape coated with a Teflon based lubricant.  The PGT connection is manufactured with industry standard
API EUE 10rd, EUE 8rd and OD 8rd thread.  PGT is used for line pipe products and is supplied with integral joint connections.

STARTM Super Seal (SSS)

Fast, reliable, self restrained mechanical o-ring seal, the SSS is an all weather connection.  Standard o-rings are Buna-N for normal applications up to 200 degrees F (93.3C), special o-rings are available for high concentrations of CO2 and H2S.  The 2 through 6 inch sizes utilize a quality modified for thread per inch ACME thread for restraint while
the 8 through 12 inch sizes are provided with a 2 thread inch thread.

16" Red Thread II Line Pipe

T.A.B. (Threaded and Bonded)

T.A.B. is the primary joining method for 2" through 6" diameter Red Thread II pipe.  Factory supplied ends have special profile, double-lead threads for quick, reliable assembly.  Combined with specially-formulated epoxy adhesive, T.A.B. joints promote positive makeup and prevent backout during cure.
For 8" through 16" sizes, the Bell and Spigot joining method is used.  Pipe is supplied with one end belled (integral bell or factory-bonded coupling)  and one end tapered.  Epoxy adhesive is used to secure the joint
