Threading and inspection are crucial processes in the pipe industry that ensure the integrity and performance of pipe connections. Threading involves cutting threads on the ends of pipes to enable a strong and secure connection between two pipes or between a pipe and a fitting.

Inspection is conducted to verify the quality of the threads and to ensure there are no defects or damages that could compromise the strength of the connection. Inspection typically involves various methods, including visual examination, non-destructive testing, and the use of specialized measuring tools to ensure all specifications and safety standards are met.

The common problems encountered in this unit and their solutions from Eonchemicals are:

1. Coolant Problems: Tramp Oil, Rust, Residue, Chips & Bacteria

Tramp oil, unwanted oil that mixes with coolant, can reduce the effectiveness of lubrication and cooling, as well as cause the formation of an oily layer that disrupts machine performance. Rust occurs when pipes or equipment are exposed to moisture, which not only damages the material but also worsens the integrity of the pipe threads.

Residue and chips produced during the threading process can clog the system and cause abrasion on the pipe surface. Meanwhile, bacteria in the coolant can cause unpleasant odors, coolant degradation, and potential infections for workers.

Solution: Micro Emulsion Coolant (MS 690 XT)

MicroSol (MS) 690XT is a semi-synthetic microemulsion coolant with excellent lubrication and cooling properties. This coolant formula offers longer life and better foam control compared to previous generations of semi-synthetics.

This product is machine-friendly and performs exceptionally well in mixed metal situations, compatible with a wide range of materials including titanium, high nickel alloys, steel, copper, and aluminum alloys.

Using MS 690 XT coolant, you can address common coolant problems such as tramp oil, rust, residue, chips, and bacteria.

2. Problem: Fire Resistant Hydrolic Oil

Fire-resistant hydraulic oil in the threading and inspection process in the pipe industry serves to prevent fire risks that can occur due to high heat and sparks from the machines. One of the main issues is the performance degradation compared to conventional hydraulic oils, which can result in lower operational efficiency.

Additionally, fire-resistant hydraulic oil can be more challenging to manage due to its tendency to become contaminated more quickly by dirt, water, or other chemicals, which can affect its fire-resistant properties.
Therefore, an appropriate solution is needed to enhance efficiency.
