BBGDS High Anti-Torsion Connector
BGDS is a high anti-torsion drill pipe connection, incorporating a double-shoulder design and fully interchangeable with API connection. The anti-torsion strength of BGDS connection is approximately 30% higher than API connection. It is mainly used for drilling and development of wells with difficult conditions, such as directional wells, horizontal wells, and deep and ultra-deep wells.
High torque resistance compared to API
Same handling speed as API
Less pressure drop for same torque capacity than API
More OD wear before down grading
