The API threading inserts for Oil & Gas industry
API threading inserts are cutting tools specialized in processing API (American Petroleum Institute) standard threads. API threading inserts are indispensable in the petroleum industry for pipe processing, casing connections, and threading of chemical equipment, agricultural machinery, automobiles, etc., where high precision and performance are required, and therefore API threading inserts become indispensable cutting tools.
Features and Functions
Specialized: API threading inserts are designed for machining threads that comply with API standards, which typically address thread size, shape, tolerances and performance requirements.
Efficiency: The inserts utilize advanced materials and manufacturing processes to ensure that sharp cutting edges are maintained during high-speed cutting, improving machining efficiency and quality.
Durability: Due to the harsh machining environments in the petroleum industry and other fields, API threading inserts are typically characterized by excellent wear and corrosion resistance to prolong service life and reduce the frequency of replacement.

Principle of operation
The working principle of API threading inserts is based on the characteristics of a helix. The insert has one or more helixes along which the cutting edge is aligned. As the insert rotates, the cutting edges come into contact with the workpiece and the cutting force removes material from the workpiece, resulting in an API-compliant thread.
