Long Beach/Bakersfield (CA) & Rifle (CO)
Full-Length API Drift at Petros Tubular Services

Before a string goes in the hole, you need to know a drift will pass end to end. Our full-length API drift pulls a properly sized mandrel through the entire length of every joint to confirm a clear, consistent internal diameter, so tools, pumps, and downhole equipment run without hanging up. Any joint that will not pass the drift is pulled and marked.

What we check

  • Full-length drift with the correct API mandrel diameter and length for the pipe size and weight
  • Detection of dents, buckles, and internal obstructions
  • Verification of a consistent internal diameter along the full joint
  • Clear handling and marking of joints that fail to drift

Standards & documentation

Drift dimensions per API 5CT for the pipe size and weight. Every job comes with documented results you can put in your records and act on with confidence.
