2022: Technology Introduction
On June 2, 2022, the Pipe Metallurgical Company (TMK) announced that it had mastered the technology of producing drill pipes with radio frequency identification. The solution is used as an additional option and improves the consumer properties of products.
An RFID tag is installed on the drill pipe - an electronic device from which data can be read contactlessly using a stationary or portable device and appropriate software. Due to the RFID control of pipes, consumers can automatically record tool operating time, save the results of flaw detection, as well as the real operating history of each drill pipe. This makes it possible to predict the failure of the pipe with great accuracy and carry out repairs in advance.
TMK produces RFID-tagged drill pipes as part of the cooperation between the Sinar Pipe (SinTZ) and Orsk Machine-Building (OMZ) plants that are part of the company.
A drilling lock is manufactured at the OMZ, in which a landing slot (slot) of a strictly defined diameter and depth is made at the enterprise for setting a mark. Drillpipe shall be manufactured at the SinTZ, to which locks received from the OMZ shall be welded, equipped with RFID tags. The labels are placed in a capsule made of polymer material and installed in the landing socket using a special technology. The device remains operable at temperatures from -50 ° C to + 110 ° C, is recognized under atmospheric precipitation, is resistant to oil products, drilling fluids and mechanical effects.
 | TMK uses "digital" not only for modeling and production of products - we integrate digital solutions into the pipe body. In 2021, TMK introduced a "smart" pipe for gas pipelines, now we are starting to manufacture drill pipes with RFID tags as part of inter-plant cooperation. Thanks to this technology, our pipes acquire fundamentally new consumer properties - increasing efficiency and increasing the period of their use, as well as reducing the risk of emergency situations, - said Sergey Chikalov, First Deputy General Director of TMK for Operations and Development. |  |
