Brush Plating for OCTG Connections & Accessories

When it comes to Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) connections and accessories, anti-galling protection is critical to ensure smooth operations, extended tool lifespan, and damage prevention during high-pressure drilling and completions. However, many of these components have complex geometries, narrow internal threads, and challenging corners that traditional tank plating cannot effectively reach.

At Sterling Impreglon Asia, our Brush Copper Plating process provides the ideal solution for OCTG accessories of all shapes and sizes, offering precise, uniform, and durable plating where it matters most.
 

Why Choose Brush Plating Over Tank Immersion?

Selective & Precise Application – Only the required areas are plated, ensuring copper is deposited exactly where it is needed without wastage.

Superior Reach in Complex Geometries – Unlike tank plating, Brush Plating can access deep, narrow, and hard-to-reach surfaces, making it ideal for OCTG couplings, threaded connectors, and specialty accessories.

Consistent Thickness Control – Ensures uniform copper buildup without excessive overplating, preserving the exact tolerances needed for thread engagement and sealing.

Proven Anti-Galling Performance – Our high-adhesion copper plating significantly reduces friction and prevents thread galling, ensuring smooth make-and-break operations in extreme drilling environments.


Engineered for Reliability in OCTG Applications

📌 Premium & Non-Premium Threaded Connections – Protecting pin & box threads against galling and seizing.
📌
Crossover Subs & Pup Joints – Ensuring seamless compatibility between different tool connections.
📌
Subsea & Wellhead Equipment – Enhancing durability in extreme offshore environments.
📌
Specialized Oil Tool Accessories – Customized plating for various downhole tools and high-pressure applications.

 

 

Industry-Proven Durability & Quality Assurance

Every component we plate undergoes rigorous quality control, including:

High-Pressure Water Jet Testing at 200 Bar (132,000 PSI) – Ensures copper plating remains intact under extreme conditions.
Adhesion Tape Test – Confirms excellent bonding to prevent delamination.
Precision Inspections – Guarantees plating thickness meets strict OCTG industry specifications.
