Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9960245A1] An account has been made for a thread cleaning and lubricating device in the form of a high pressure washing device (16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 12) for cleaning external/internal threads of pipe end couplings, and equipped with a mechanism (16', 18', 20, 22', 24, 12) for applying fat under pressure on said threads. A nozzle head's main body (10) is formed with two separate annuli (14, 14') for the supply of cleaning liquid under high pressure or thread-fat under pressure, respectively. In order to arrange the conditions for a uniform cleaning process across the entire thread portion and an even application of thread-fat, and for simplifying and facilitating the centring of respective pipe end's socket/tap end in relation to the axis (50) of the nozzle head/body (10), each annulus (14, 14') has a 360 DEG encircling discharge slot opening (26, 26').
