7316 00 — Anchors, grapnels and parts thereof, of iron or steel

7316 Anchors, cats and parts thereof, made of ferrous metals

This heading covers only the type of anchor used for holding in position vessels of all tonnages, offshore platforms, buoys, beacons, floating mines, etc.; it does not cover other articles sometimes referred to as "anchors" (e.g., articles used for tying brickwork or for fixing rafters to the walls of a building). Anchors may be fitted with a crosspiece or stock, sometimes made of wood, with rigidly or non-rigidly fixed flukes. This heading also covers grapnels; these are smaller than anchors and have more than two flukes (usually four), but no stock. They are used for holding small boats in position, fastening them to other vessels, etc., for recovering sunken objects and for hooking onto trees, rocks, etc. This heading also covers parts of anchors or grapnels.

1. Drilling pipes are used for descent into a borehole and lifting a rock-destroying tool, transferring rotation, creating an axial load on the tool, supplying a washing fluid or compressed air to the bottom. There are ordinary, weighted and leading drill pipes.

Ordinary drill pipes (heading 7304) - usually one-piece round cross-section, are connected by means of drill locks or semi-locks with special large conical threads.

Weighted drill pipes (heading 8431) are usually round or square cross-sections with an increased wall thickness; they are also connected by thread and serve to increase the stiffness of the lower part of the column and to place a load on the rock-destroying tool.

Leading drill pipes (heading 8431) - multifaceted cross-section, are placed at the top of the column of drill pipes and transmit it rotation from the rotator of the drilling rig.
