    A wellhead and Christmas tree, taken apart to show what we make

    A 5,000 psi land wellhead and Christmas tree to API 6A: a 13-5/8 in. casing head, a 13-5/8 × 11 in. casing spool and an 11 × 7-1/16 in. tubing head under a 2-9/16 in. single-wing tree. It comes apart from the top down, the way a crew would strip it: at each joint the nuts spin off first, then the joint opens and the ring gasket and loose studs float in the gap. Tree cap, swab valve, wing and choke, studded tee, master valves and adapter, then the side outlet valves, the tubing head and the casing spool, with the lock-down screws backed out and the hangers lifted on the way. The bolting we make is in colour. Press Solid view for a steel model, or Cutaway to see the bores, hangers and ring gaskets inside.

    A generic 5,000 psi wellhead and tree, not any maker's design. The flanges, studs, ring gaskets, valve face-to-face lengths and the studded tee follow the API 6A tables; the head, spool, valve and choke body shapes, hangers and casing stubs are illustrative, and the lockdown screw and bonnet stud counts and the tap-end stud lengths are typical. Your drawings govern. We manufacture to your drawings and specifications.

    Drawn to API Specification 6A for 5,000 psi working pressure: Type 6B and 6BX flanges and their studs, R and BX ring gaskets, gate valve face-to-face lengths and the studded tee.
