High-Pressure Pup Joint — Pup Joint for Cementing & Fracturing Equipment
API 16C / 6A High-Pressure Pup Joint for Cementing & Fracturing
Product Description
The high-pressure pup joint is an essential element for cementing and fracturing equipment to deliver high-pressure fluid. It is widely used in high-pressure discharge lines, input lines, temporary flow lines, well testing lines, and other high-pressure transmission lines — including acid gas operating environments (excluding CO₂ and H₂S sour gas service).
Our pup joints are forged from high-quality alloy structural steel. The end of the straight pipe and the union are forged into one integral piece, eliminating disassembly, providing excellent sealing performance, and offering light weight, easy use, and quick installation.
Standard pipeline specifications are 2" to 3", with common lengths ranging from 0.5 m to 6 m. Rated working pressure is 42 MPa to 105 MPa, with a working temperature range of -29°C to 121°C.
Design Features
- API 16C Compliant: Performance and technical parameters are in line with API 16C specification. Product specification level PSL3, performance level PR1, interchangeable with SPM and similar products.
- Integrally Forged Union: The pup joint end is forged with the union — no threaded connection — making it safer, more reliable, and eliminating disassembly issues.
- Multiple Sealing Design: High-precision machining ensures the sealing performance of the whole line.
- High-Strength Alloy Steel: Made from high-strength alloy steel with a special toughening process, using Acme threaded connection for easy disassembly, quick connection, and reliable sealing.
- Easy & Fast Loading: Quick assembly and disassembly for field operations.
- API 6A Compliant: Various technical parameters and performance meet the specifications of API Spec 6A, interchangeable with similar foreign products.
