What Are Stabbing Guides?

what-are-stabbing-guide

Stabbing guides consist of polyurethane shells and metal collars that are usually adjustable. Companies in oil and gas industries use them as they link together multiple segments of tubing, pipes, or casing. When workers line up the ends of these conduits, it is called "stabbing." This step comes before the connection of couplers to threaded ends.

Purpose
Stabbing guides help workers align piping and tubing segments correctly. Oil and gas companies utilize them in the process of connecting the male end of each pipe to the female end of a separate segment. The guides save money and time by expediting this task.
