Varco Style 2513 Button Die for DCS-L Slips | Part 2513
The Varco Style 2513 Button Die is a high-tensile circular insert engineered for the secure handling of intermediate drill collar strings. Designed specifically for the DCS-L (Large) slip body configured for 5-1/2″ to 7″ OD tubulars, these buttons provide a multi-point “pyramid” grip essential for high-torque drilling environments. Manufactured from forged 8620 alloy steel and heat-treated to API 7K standards, the 2513 series ensures a fail-safe mechanical lock while protecting the structural integrity of your drill string.
Description
Technical & Engineering Data
Structural Superiority for Drill Collar Handling
Intermediate drill collars (5-1/2″ to 7″) face intense axial loads. Pan 2513 buttons are designed to meet these mechanical demands:
Advanced Surface Hardness: Every button is carburized to a surface hardness of 58-62 HRC, allowing the teeth to bite through heavy drilling fluids, rust, and pipe scale for a consistent grip.
Impact-Resistant Core: While the teeth are rock-hard, the inner core is kept ductile. This prevents the button from “shattering” or popping out of the slip segment when the slips are set under the weight of a heavy drill collar string.
Precision Geometry: Machined to exact OEM tolerances to ensure a perfect “press-fit” in the slip’s circular pockets, eliminating the vibration and button-roll that causes premature tool wear.
