Description
Product Description
A Kelly is a key component in rotary drilling systems, used to transmit torque from the rotary table to the drill string.
It is a long, square or hexagonal steel bar that passes through the rotary table and allows the drill string to rotate while supporting axial loads during drilling operations.
Kellys are widely used in oil and gas drilling, especially in conventional rotary drilling rigs, and are manufactured to ensure high strength, durability, and reliable performance under extreme conditions.
