Plain Tong Die 1/2″ x 1-1/4″ x 5″ | Non-Marking BJ & Power Tong Inserts
The 1/2″ x 1-1/4″ x 5″ Plain Tong Die is engineered for the damage-free handling of sensitive oilfield tubulars. Specifically designed for BJ Type SDD/C/F/LF manual tongs and Power Casing Tongs, this insert provides a high-friction, non-marking grip that protects the surface integrity of Chrome (CRA) and premium alloy pipes during make-up and break-out operations.
Description
Technical & Engineering Data
Premium Surface Protection
In modern drilling, protecting the pipe’s metallurgy is as important as the torque itself. Our Plain Dies are designed for:
Zero-Indentation Grip: The smooth, precision-ground surface distributes clamping force evenly, eliminating the “bite marks” caused by standard pyramid or coarse dies.
Specialized Metallurgy: Manufactured from high-tensile alloy steel and subjected to a controlled heat-treatment process that ensures durability without the aggressiveness of sharp teeth.
Friction Optimization: Designed to maximize surface contact, providing the necessary torque transfer for premium connections without compromising the pipe wall.
