DOWNHOLE MOTOR TOOLS TOOL JOINT & NOZZLE IDENTIFIER TORO DOWNHOLE TOOLS TOOL JOINT & NOZZLE IDENTIFIER

The Toro Tool Joint Idenfier is a simple yet eff ec ecve way to determine most oil field rotary shouldered connecon types. This can be be an invaluable invaluable tool when the connecon idenficaon marking is worn or in ques on. The Toro Tool Joint Idenfier also includes a bit nozzle idenfier for checking the bit nozzle orifice.

Both measuring

instruments are combined into a compact and portable ruler format that can be made readily available should a queson arise in the field.

DOWNHOLE MOTOR TOOLS TOOL JOINT & NOZZLE IDENTIFIER HOW TO USE THE TORO TOOL JOINT IDENTIFIER Pin Threads:

First, you will need to determine the thread count by inch using the thread cut outs at the end of the idenfier (Figure 1) Figure 1

Connue to use the thread cut outs unl you have a match. In Figure 1 the thread cutout idenfies the pin as 4 threads per inch.

When idenfying a pin connecon, first determine whether it has a cylinder radius or a stress relief groove. (Figure 2)

Figure 2

If your pin connecon does not have a relief groove, use outside

diameter calipers to measure the cylinder radius next to the pin shoulder. (Figure 2)

Using the Tool Joint Idenfier, place one side of the outside diameter calipers in the pin notch and the other side on the idenfier to measure the size. (Figure 3, Figure 4)

Figure 3 Figure 4

Figure 5

In this example, because we determined deter mined that the connecon is 4 threads per inch, the Toro Tool Joint Idenfier has designated the pin threads as NC 46. ( Figure 5)

NOTE: Because we determined that the pin is 4 threads per inch, the nearest measurement is NC 46 (this is why we must know how

many threads per inch the connec on on has before measuring it) In this example we know that the threaded connec on on is NC 46.

To measure a pin with a relief groove, you will need a couple of rubber bands or another another set of hands. You will also fi

need another Tool Joint Iden

er or a straight edge.

Figure 6

Place two straight edges on opposite sides of the pin and hold in place with rubber bands or have someone else hold them in place. (Figure 6) 

Using outside diameter calipers, take a width Figure 7

measurement from both sides of the straight edges next to the shoulder and around the relief groove. Be sure to subtract the thickness of the straight edges before checking the thread size on the tool joint iden   fi e er. r.

Using the Tool Joint Idenfier, place one side of the outside diameter calipers in the pin notch and the other side on the idenfier to measure the size. If straight edges were used on a pin connec on on with a relief groove, then be sure to subtract the thickness of the straight edges before Figure 8

checking the thread size. (Figure 8, Figure 9 )

In this example, because we determined deter mined that the connecon is 4 threads per inch, the Toro Tool Joint Idenfier has designated the pin threads as NC 46. ( Figure 10)

HOW TO USE THE TORO TOOL NOZZLE IDENTIFIER

The Toro Tool Joint Idenfier is a simple yet eff ec ecve way to determine nozzle nozzle size in drill b bits its nozzles. To determine fi



fi

nozzle size, insert the small end of the Nozzle Iden er into nozzle ori ce. Check the measurement at the loca on where the Nozzle Idenfier stops inside the orifice. This measurement will be the diameter of the orifice.

The front side of the Nozzle Idenfier shows increments in 1/32 of an inch. The number on this side is typically used to idenfy the nozzle type (i.e. #12 nozzle, #16 nozzle, etc.). Front View

The back side of the Nozzle Idenfier shows the same measurement markings as the front side but in 1/8 of an inch increments.
