Plain Tong Die 1/2″ x 1-1/4″ x 5-7/8″ | Non-Marking BJ & Power Tong
The 1/2″ x 1-1/4″ x 5-7/8″ Plain Tong Die is an extra-long, precision-engineered insert designed for the safe handling of premium oilfield strings. By providing a high-friction, non-marking grip, it protects Chrome (CRA) and high-alloy tubulars from surface indentation and “bite” marks. Optimized for BJ Type B and DB manual tongs, this die ensures the structural integrity of your pipe assets during high-torque operations.
Description
Comprehensive Technical Data
Damage-Free Grip Engineering
In modern well completions, the use of Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRA) is standard. These pipes require a specialized gripping approach:
Uniform Load Distribution: The extra-long 5-7/8″ surface area spreads the radial clamping force evenly, eliminating localized stress points that cause pipe deformation.
Precision Surface Finish: Every Plain Die is ground to a specific smooth finish that maximizes friction contact without penetrating the pipe wall.
Specialized Metallurgy: Manufactured from high-tensile forged alloy steel and heat-treated for extreme toughness. This ensures the die resists flattening under heavy loads while remaining soft enough to protect the tubular’s surface.
