adjustments to
the length of a drill string, which is the string of connected
pipes used to
drill an oil or gas well. By adding or removing pup joints, drillers
can adjust the
length of the drill string to reach different depths in the well.

also used to connect two components with different thread
connections. For
example, if a piece of equipment has a threaded connection

match the threaded connection on the drill string, a pup joint
with the
appropriate connections can connect the two components.
