API-MODIFIED™
HIGH-PRESSURE THREAD COMPOUND
API-Modified reduces friction in the makeup of casing and tubing, preventing galling and wear.
Maximum thread engagement is ensured, providing optimum leak resistance. API-Modified
contains inhibitors that provide maximum protection against rust and corrosion of threaded
surfaces. Its conductivity reduces the possibility of electrolytic corrosion by preventing the
formation of galvanic cells in the presence of salt water and other corrosive fluids.
HIGH-PRESSURE THREAD COMPOUND
APPLICATIONS BENEFITS
• API Casing • Meets or exceeds API RP 5A3/ISO 13678
• Tubing Connections (i.e. buttress & 8-Round) requirements
• Line Pipe • Additives for rust and corrosion protection
• Flow Lines • Excellent lubrication qualities prevent galling and
• Subsurface Production Tools wear
• Tank Batteries • Sticks to wet and oily threads
• Threaded Connections • Brushable over a wide temperature range
of Oilfield Tubular Goods on Make-up, (in service, and • Leak prevention to 10,000 psi on API Connection
in storage) designs and higher on mechanical seal connection
• Most Proprietary Mechanical Seal Connection Designs designs
For API 6A bolting and other flange bolting applications although API MODIFIED was used as the reference compound to establish some
of the listed make-up torques, JET-LUBE recommends using 550® EXTREME® or KOPR-KOTE® for reasons of occupational health. Where
the torques are provided multiply the value by 1.15 to generate the new torques needed to achieve the same loads as with API MODIFIED.
