&#60;p&#62;Kampen Machinefabrication performs this treatment by heating up a Manganese Phosphate solution in a special tank to a specific temperature and the newly machined or repaired thread connection is immersed in the solution for a specific period of time.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;API Spec 7-1 states that a gall resistant treatment of Zinc or Manganese Phosphate shall be applied to the threads and sealing surfaces of all re-machined and new connections. If a Rotary Shouldered Connection is not phosphate treated, on initial make-up, the sealing shoulders and thread surfaces of the connection may gall and therefore affect its ability to maintain a shoulder seal and correct torque. This can ultimately lead to a failure of the connection.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;
