Hexagonal or Square Kellys
Kellys are made from AISI 4145H modified alloy bars which are quenched and tempered to full length. A hardness range of 285 to 341 BHN and a minimum impact value of 40 ft-lbs are maintained one inch below the surface at room temperature. All ends and center drive sections are machined. The kellys are precision-trepanned to provide true bores. Command Tubular kellys are drifted to API specifications and all connections are precision-machined and quality-assurance inspected.
