Metal Polished Rod with couplings

A Metal Polished Rod is an essential component in oilfield operations, specifically used in the connection between the sucker rod pump and the pump unit. The polished rod ensures the transfer of mechanical power from the surface equipment to the downhole pump, which is responsible for lifting oil or water from the well. These rods are made from high-quality alloy steel or stainless steel to ensure strength, durability, and resistance to harsh downhole conditions.

2. Detailed Features

Material Selection and Grades

  • Carbon Steel (AISI 1035, 1050): Ideal for cost-effective applications in non-corrosive environments.
  • Alloy Steel (AISI 4130, 4140): High tensile strength and excellent wear resistance for medium-to-deep wells.
  • Stainless Steel: Provides excellent corrosion resistance for wells with acidic or corrosive conditions.

Coupling Integration

Each polished rod is connected using couplings designed to withstand mechanical stress without unscrewing or loosening during operation. Couplings align seamlessly with the rod ends and are machine-checked to ensure a secure fit. This setup enhances operational reliability, especially in deep wells, where secure rod connections are critical for smooth operation.

Mechanical Properties and Processing

Metal Polished Rod with couplings

Rods undergo a meticulous heat-treatment process to achieve high mechanical performance, including quenching and tempering to increase hardness and tensile strength. Each rod’s surface is cold-drawn and polished to a mirror-like finish, reducing friction during movement and extending rod life.
