Bestolife 72733 High-Pressure / High-Temperature Thread Compound for Casing, Tubing, and Line Pipe COLOR Black - copper PENETRATION 310-340 (ASTM D-217) WEIGHT/GALLON 15.8 pounds/gallon DROPPING POINT 350°F/177ºC (typ) FLASH POINT 385°F/196ºC (min) BRUSHABLE TO 0ºF/-18ºC SERVICE RATING 500°F/260ºC TORQUE FACTOR 1.0 CONTAINS Graphite, lead, zinc, copper Bestolife 72733 exceeds the performance requirements and objectives outlined in API RP 5A3*, obsolete API BUL 5A2, and conforms to ISO 13678. This superior thread compound protects connections against galling during make-up and break-out, prevents leakage at temperatures in excess of 300ºF, and withstands pressure to 10,000 psi. Bestolife 72733 resists water absorption, disintegration and volume changes, and will not harden, dry out, evaporate or oxidize. It contains special corrosion inhibitors to resist pitting and discoloration of threaded surfaces during field use and storage. *API Recommended Practice 5A3: “Recommended Practice on Thread Compounds for Casing, Tubing, and Line Pipe”; Second Edition, July 2003 DO NOT USE ON OXYGEN LINES OR IN OXYGEN ENRICHED ATMOSPHERES.
