OUR HISTORY

Petroplastic SA has over 15 years experience working with
composite materials. Our extensive experience regarding
these materials has placed the company at the
technological forefront as a result of our continual search
for new possibilities and uses, as well as finding efficient
solutions to corrosion problems.
Petroplastic aims to position itself as a top quality GRE
tubular products and fittings supplier, for the petroleum
industry.
Focused on its clients needs, Petroplastic created an
infrastructure of operation bases that altogether with the
engineering department have offered immediate solutions
to the requirements of different companies.
As a consequence of this client oriented goal, Petroplastic
planned and concluded some years ago its project of the
construction of its own plant in the Province of Neuqun.
Petroplastic is undergoing a process of constant growth
and expansion not only in Argentina but also into other
countries.
Petroplastics Industrial Plant manufactures and delivers
products of the finest quality, under the most severe
controls.

Industrial Plant at Junn de los Andes
Petroplastic has a 4500 sq. meters Industrial Plant at
Junn de los Andes Industrial Park, Province of Neuqun,
Argentina







Petroplastic, under the advice from the School of
Mechanical & Systems Engineering of the University of
Newcastle, commissioned the prestigious INVAP,(an
internationally recognized centre for cutting edge
technology) to help with the design, construction and fine-
tuning of specific equipment for the manufacture of our
products. After a multi-million dollar investment, we now
have a plant which is model in its field consisting of the
most updated machines with digital controls for both
tubes and fittings, driven by highly skilled staff.
Petroplastic has implemented a Quality Control System
that together with our laboratories equipped with the
latest technology, reassures the quality of our products.
In these laboratories, Petroplastic examines the quality of
product through all the manufacturing process (from raw
material to final product)
Lab 1: General Quality Control test Laboratory
Lab 2: Burst Test, axial breakage test and combined
traction and pressure test Laboratory
Lab 3: Regression test Laboratory
Petroplastic obtained:
- ISO 9001 Certification and API Specification
Q1, for the manufacturing of GRE (Glass
Reinforced Epoxy) tubings and accessories in
the Plant in Junin de los Andes.






Our quality control systems guarantee that our products will have a similar performance or even better than other products in
the market. 100% of the tubes produced in the plant are hydraulically tested to an additional 50% over the work and design
pressure.
Petroplastic increased its production during this year and as a consequence of its aggressive expansion politics, production
will continue its growth to fulfill both local and external markets.
Engineering
For over 15 years, Petroplastic offered solutions to
corrosion problems in transportation lines as well as
water, oil and gas injection, treatment plants, fire
prevention networks and refineries.Our engineering
department works with modern infrastructure and with
highly specialized technicians who can efficiently advise in
the evaluation, specification and selection of pipes.

Modern R & D laboratories provide us with solid
technological tools to test products of proven excellence in
market.

4 TPI vs. 8 RD

Brief Comparison between 4TPI and 8 RD EUE in GRE tubes:

The advantages that 4 TPI have over the 8 RD EUE can be summarized in:

More Robust:

It allows not being so careful during manipulation and even though keeps working correctly.




Alignment:

During mounting, it diminishes typical alignment requirements of the 8 RD EUE. This is particularly important in
diameters over 4.




Double Seal:

O-Ring and threads provide a double seal. When the appropriate torque is exerted, contact pressure between threads is
greater than the circulating liquids hydrostatic pressure. The O-Rings offer a
high pressure seal, keeping Teflon and the lubricant grease in the box, and the internal fluids out of the
threads. When the 4TPI is installed correctly, there is no need to have an O-Ring to secure the seal.





More resistant:

As the 4 TPI threads root is more than twice the width than that of the 8 RD EUE threads root, it is less probable that
threads could be damaged when they hit each other during mounting. This is particularly important when used in wells,
where the tubes weight rest on the threads before engagement.
In line pipe applications where both the diameter and unit weight are considerably large, 4 TPI eliminate cross threading
problems in larger diameters.


No thrust blocks required:

Threads are strong enough to resist extreme efforts during high pressures, with no need to add thrust blocks to support
them.

Installation and recovery:

Much easier. It reduces cross threading in line pipe and discards in its use as tubing.






























Greater pitch diameter:

The interior diameter of the tubes is controlled by the mandrels diameter. The maximum available wall thickness is
determined by the threads root diameter. In all cases the pitch diameter is greater in 4 TPI products than in those of
equivalent diameter in 8 RD EUE products. Consequently in high pressure applications, the interior diameter is
greater in Petroplastic tubes than those in other products in the market, this results in an increased flow capacity.


Shallow pitch angle:

To compensate for the fast advance of 4 threads per inch, the pitch angle in Petroplastic threads is reduced compared
to 8 RD threads. This enables the installer to afghan contact pressure between threads at torque levels comparable
to 8 RD threads. With a shallow pitch angle it is easier to maintain tight matching tolerances between the male and
female thread in manufacturing.


One-piece construction:

Petroplastic joints have an all-in-one piece construction which results in increased resistance. Threads are not bonded
as those from other manufacturers.
