Abstract:  
Sample Processing Laboratory ZERO Products Div., Clemco Industries Corp. Reprinted with permission A drill tube manufacturer needed to clean and etch the threads on both ends of several sizes of large pipe. These thick-walled pipes have external threads on one end - the "pin" - and internal threads on the other - the "box". Oil and natural gas rig operators use different types of tube to drill for energy and to pump the fluid or gas to the surface. The conveying tubes must seal tight to each other to contain the oil or volatile natural gas.
