Pipe Wipers, Drill Pipe Wipers for Oilfield

What Do Pipe Wipers Do?

Pipe wipers are round and feature a hole in the center. They closely resemble a weight plate that would go on a weightlifting barbell and are normally placed around the exterior of oilfield pipes and drill rods. Drill pipe wipers are manufactured to withstand even the harshest rigors of oilfield operations and are made from debris-resistant rubber compounds.

Pipe wipers can serve the following roles:

• Removing fluids and debris from pipes
• Helping cover the annulus between tubing and casing
• Reducing fluid spillage on the rig floor
• Preventing foreign objects from entering the wellbore
• Adding support with a steel ring molded in place

Typical applications of pipe wipers include:

• Drilling rigs
• Workover rigs
• Swabbing units

Value to the Oil Industry

The primary purpose of single-pipe wipers is to help eliminate dirt, mud and other debris, which makes the pipe safer and easier to handle while keeping the oil rig floor clean. 

Pipe wipers are extremely valuable to those working in the oil industry. Explore the following benefits of utilizing these tools:

• Creating better working environments: Pipe wipers make it possible for operators to work comfortably. They can increase production efficiency by streamlining the cleaning process and making pipes easier to handle.
• Deflecting drilling fluids: The oil industry is no stranger to drilling muds that contain various chemicals. Pipe wipers help push these fluids away from workers and their tools.
• Maintaining more control of tools: By using pipe wipers, oil industry operators can enjoy working with cleaner tools and pipes, which offer greater control and less slippage.

Without pipe wipers, oil rig workers and their equipment are simply less efficient. You need a reliable wiper to ensure you can maintain effective operations.
