TAPPER TAP API THREAD
🔩 Taper Taps – Versatile Fishing Tools for Core Drilling Recovery
Heavy-Duty Taper Taps for Efficient Retrieval of Lost or Broken Drill Rods and Tools
Designed for Mineral Exploration, Wireline Drilling, and Geotechnical Borehole Recovery
✅ Product Overview:
Taper Taps are essential fishing tools used in core drilling to recover broken or dropped downhole equipment such as rods, couplings, or barrels. These tools feature a hardened tapered thread that self-engages with the inner bore of damaged components, biting into the wall for a secure grip when standard thread engagement is not possible.
Engineered for tough recovery operations in mineral exploration, geotechnical drilling, and core sampling, taper taps provide a non-thread-specific solution for retrieving internally smooth or damaged threads.
Description
⚙️ Key Features:
-
🌀 Self-Tapping Tapered Threads: Aggressively bites into soft or damaged metal components without needing matching threads.
-
🛠️ Rugged Construction: Forged from heat-treated alloy steel for superior strength and wear resistance.
-
🔧 Non-Thread-Specific Use: Ideal for broken or distorted components where traditional male/female taps won’t engage.
-
💦 Corrosion Resistant Finish: Protected with anti-corrosion coatings for prolonged downhole performance.
-
⚙️ Universal Fit: Available in sizes to suit BQ, NQ, HQ, PQ and other standard drill rod dimensions.
-
🚧 Fast & Reliable Tool Recovery: A go-to solution for hard-to-retrieve situations in borehole recovery.
