TITLE: DRILL PIPE WEAR BELT ASSEMBLY Abstract of Disclosure: A steel wear belt having a prepared inner surface with an inner diameter large enough to pass over the weld upset on one end of a drill pipe tube but too small to pass over the tool joints is installed about the pipe over a prepared outer peripheral surface thereof. Preferably the belt outer diameter is equal to or less than that of the tool joints. The belt is installed prior to one or both tool joints being welded to the tube. The belt is secured to the tube by a mounting layer of high polymer material, e.g. plastics or elastomer, preferably self bonding and thermo-set, between the prepared surfaces. The mounting layer may have a thickness in the rage of 1/16 to 1/4 inch and an elastic modulus of not over 5% of that of steel, and an elastic shear strength of, e.g. 500 to 3000 psi, and be stable up to 250 to 300 deg. F. The thickness of the mount- ing and its physical properties prevent stress concentration in the pipe due to mere attachment of the wear belt and due to restraint on pipe flexure imposed by the wear belt and prevent electrolytic corrosion between the pipe and wear belt. The pipe is plastic coated internally from tool joint to tool joint. The internal coating and the wear belt mounting are preferably cured simultaneously and may both be made of phenolic or epoxy, or preferably, phenolic-epoxy synthetic resin; otherwise an elastomer would be preferred for the belt mounting.
