Non-upsetting tubing is a steel pipe with non-upset ends. The steel tubes are made of alloys of iron, carbon and other elements. NU is the abbreviation of non-upsetting joint. The difference between NU and EU (external upset) is that NU usually has 10 teeth per inch and EU often has 8 teeth per inch. This tubing is used in the construction industry, but it also can be used in other manufacturing and industrial applications. Non-upset tubing is used to transport fluids and gases for commercial and residential buildings.
Structure
The non-upsetting tubing is threaded on both ends. A coupling is installed at one end. Thread protectors are installed on both ends. This tubing is manufactured according to Intl Standard specifications.
Non upset tubing connection
Upset Tubing (EUE) is a long tubing with joint installed in a wellbore to facilitate the extraction of oil and gas. Non-upset tubing refers to the pipe end without the extra thick and straight thread and collar. Non-upset (NUE) tubing is used much less than EUE tubing
There may be the same material and grades with upsetting tubing and non-upset tubing.The maximum difference between them are the tube end, that is outer diameter. Non-upset tubing refers to the pipe end without the extra thick and straight thread and collar. Non-upset (NUE) tubing is used much less than EUE tubing. The cost of NUE is only slightly less than EUE, and the joint strength is substantially less. The coupling joint diameter of NUE is less than EUE, which offers some advantages when clearance is small. NUE joints are available in sizes of 1.050 to 4.500 in.
