Product Overview
Square drill rods feature a square cross-section and represent a traditional design, reliably transmitting torque from the rotary table to the drill string. Manufactured from high‑strength alloy steel and subjected to full‑length heat treatment, they comply with API 7‑1 standards. Custom sizes are available to match your rig specifications.

Product Description
• Basic Information: The square Kelly is the most common type of square drill pipe, featuring a square cross-section that engages with the rotary table. This square design ensures reliable torque transmission and is widely used in conventional drilling operations. The product is manufactured from high‑strength, highly wear‑resistant alloy steel and undergoes full‑length heat treatment to ensure uniform and consistent mechanical properties. Both ends can be fitted with various thread connection types.
• Application scenarios: Suitable for conventional rotary drilling operations requiring reliable torque transmission; suitable for standard rotary rigs that do not utilize a top drive system.
• Product Advantages: Mature design with reliable torque transmission; constructed from high-strength alloy steel; undergoes full-length heat treatment; certified to API 7-1; supports custom dimensions.
• Customer Feedback: The traditional first choice for drilling operations worldwide; highly regarded by customers for its time-tested reliability.

Can the internal coating be repaired or repainted?
Based on the actual service conditions of drill pipes, locally damaged or worn internal coatings may be inspected, repaired, or re-coated.
Prior to repair, a comprehensive inspection will be conducted to assess internal corrosion, wall thickness, the condition of the existing coating, and the overall structural integrity. Following surface treatment, an FBE internal coating will be reapplied, and curing will be carried out under rigorously controlled process conditions to restore the component’s corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and fluid‑flow‑optimizing performance.
Regular inspection and timely repair of the internal coating help extend the service life of drill pipes and enhance the operational reliability of the drilling system.
How to choose the right internal coating?
Hebei Langwei offers four FBE internal coating systems with varying performance grades to meet diverse drilling requirements:
LPC3000P: Suitable for conventional oil and gas wells, water wells, and geothermal wells;
LPC3000P-HD: Suitable for deep wells, horizontal wells, extended-reach wells (ERD), and highly abrasive operating conditions;
LPC5000P: Suitable for deep wells, ultra-deep wells, and drilling operations with stringent requirements for hydraulic efficiency and service life;
LPC5000P-HD: Suitable for high‑temperature, high‑pressure (HPHT) wells, sour gas and oil wells (H₂S/CO₂), and other extreme drilling environments.
Hebei Langwei’s technical team can, based on the customer’s wellbore configuration, drilling fluid system, operating temperature, circulation rate, corrosive media, and specific drilling conditions, recommend the most suitable internal coating solution, achieving an optimal balance among product performance, service life, and overall total cost of ownership.
What internal coating systems do you offer?
LPC3000P: Suitable for conventional oil and gas wells, water wells, geothermal wells, and standard drilling operations;
LPC3000P-HD: Suitable for deep wells, horizontal wells, shale oil and gas wells, and highly abrasive operating conditions, offering superior wear resistance.
LPC5000P: Suitable for deep wells, ultra-deep wells, and high-temperature, complex operating conditions, particularly for projects with stringent requirements for wear resistance, hydraulic efficiency, and service life.
LPC5000P-HD: Designed for ultra-deep wells, high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) wells, sour gas wells (H2S/CO2), and other extreme drilling environments, it delivers exceptional wear and corrosion resistance as well as long-term operational reliability.
Why do drill pipes require an internal coating?
Adopting an FBE internal coating can provide the following advantages:
* Enhance corrosion resistance;
* Enhances resistance to erosion and wear;
* Reduce fluid flow resistance;
* Reduce pump pressure loss;
* Reduces scaling and deposit adhesion;
* Extend the service life of drill rods.
These advantages help improve drilling efficiency while reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime.
What is an inner coating for drill pipes?
Compared with conventional drill pipes, coated‑in‑pipe drill pipes feature a smoother inner surface, which reduces flow resistance and pressure loss, minimizes scale buildup, enhances circulation efficiency, and effectively extends the service life of the drill pipe. They are widely used in oil and gas drilling, geothermal wells, water wells, and other complex drilling operations.
