    1. What Do Pipe Threads Need Protection From? When connecting any section of pipe to another, thread engagement will determine the strength and seal quality of the string. The thread profile and pipe specification will determine the axial loading that a specific section can handle. To ensure every connection works optimally,  pipe thread protectors  can reduce the risk of a compromised thread profile. The types of elements that pipe threads need protection from include: • Corrosion and rust when exposed to the elements • Debris and moisture • Contaminants that could reduce the quality of the extracted fluids • Damages like scratches, dents, cracks, and dings Corrosion particularly presents a problem for operators, as it may not be easily visible before installation. Contaminants and moisture in the thread may increase the speed of oxidation, leading to a compromised thread profile. Any damaged thread will likely also accelerate the corrosive chemical reactions in the connection dur
