Solutions for cost effective and high-quality machining of oil and gas mandrel features
A mandrel is a bar, shaft or spindle around which other components are arranged or assembled.
The term has been extended in oil and gas well terminology to include specialized tubular components that are key parts of an assembly or system, such as gas-lift mandrel or packer mandrel.
