Engineered Polymer Drifts for Oil & Gas
A safer, non-marring alternative to steel and PTFE drifts
What We Do
Lightweight, rigid ASA polymer drifts manufactured to API drift dimensional requirements—designed to reduce thread damage, protect internal coatings, and improve manual handling safety without compromising verification reliability.
Manufactured for:
- Pipe Yards
- Oilfield Service Companies
- Threading & Inspection Facilities
- OCTG Distributors
Designed to support engineering, QA, and HSE requirements.
HOW ASA POLYMER DRIFTS COMPARE
THE PROBLEM
Drifting Hasn’t Evolved — The Risks Have
For decades, the oil and gas industry has relied on steel and PTFE/resin drifts for tubing and casing verification. While proven, these tools introduce avoidable risks:
- Steel drifts can damage threads, thread protectors, and internal coatings
- Heavy tools increase manual handling injuries and dropped-tool exposure
- PTFE and resin drifts can creep, deform, or chip under load
- Thread damage and rework create unnecessary cost and delays
Drifting is a verification step—but the tools used should not create new problems.
THE SOLUTION
ASA Polymer Drifts — Engineered for Verification, Not Damage
Our ASA polymer drifts are engineered to sit between steel and PTFE—delivering the rigidity required for accurate verification while eliminating metal-to-metal contact.
Key Advantages:
- Non-marring contact with threads and internal coatings
- Significantly lighter than steel for improved handling safety
- No cold flow or creep common in PTFE-based drifts
- Predictable wear and dimensional stability
- Corrosion-free and impact resistant
Manufactured to American Petroleum Institute drift dimensional requirements, our drifts provide consistent pass/fail verification without the downsides of traditional materials.
