Long life for self-lubricating chain
When the environment or location of a roller chain drive is such that regular lubrication is not possible or practical, Duralube self-lubricating chain can offer a long-lasting solution.
Diamond Coiled Tubing Injector Chain incorporates gripper blocks as an integral part of the chain.
As the chains articulate around the sprockets on the injector, the assembled gripper blocks grasp the tubing and retract or advance the coil down the well.
Chain pins manufactured from medium carbon steel are case-hardened for increased tensile strength and improved impact and pin fatigue resistance.
Additionally, semi-press-fit cover plates designed with tight tolerances minimise pin turning and assure equal distribution of chain working load.
These features offer coiled tubing injector units a strong, reliable chain that can stand up to the strenuous, adverse conditions of the oil and gas industry.
Diamond Coiled Tubing Injector Chain is also available with Diamond ACE anticorrosive exterior plating for resistance to stress corrosion cracking caused by wet environments.
