Premiere Torque Rings (PTR™)
Maximum Torque. Maximum Performance.
FET now offers Premiere Torque Rings (PTR™), which achieve many of the benefits associated with premium connections while utilizing API-certified casing. This provides substantial cost savings for operators seeking improved performance without the added expense of specialty connections.
Premiere Torque Rings (PTR™) are a patented technology engineered to enhance the performance of standard API casing and tubing connections. By creating a positive shouldered makeup similar to premium connections, PTR™ enables operators to achieve significantly higher torque capacities while reducing the risk of thread damage and connection failure.
Designed for demanding casing running, rotating, and reciprocating applications, PTR™ provides a cost-effective alternative to premium connection systems without sacrificing operational performance.
A Smarter Alternative to Semi-Premium Connections
Increased Torque Capacity
PTR™ technology dramatically increases the torque capabilities of standard API connections. The patented design creates a positive shoulder within the connection, allowing operators to run and rotate casing with greater confidence in challenging well conditions.
Reduce Thread Damage Risks
Conventional connections can be vulnerable to overstressing during high-torque operations. PTR™ helps distribute loads more effectively, reducing the likelihood of thread galling, deformation, and connection damage.
Semi-Premium Connection Performance Without Premium Cost
Achieve many of the benefits associated with semi-premium connections while utilizing API-certified casing. This provides substantial cost savings for operators seeking improved performance without the added expense of specialty connections.
Built for Strength
Unlike competing designs, Premiere Torque Rings feature a perfectly circular, non-stressed configuration that delivers exceptional structural integrity and durability under demanding operating conditions.
