Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Provided are methods and systems for vacuum coating the outside surface of tubular devices for use in oil and gas exploration, drilling, completions, and production operations for friction reduction, erosion reduction and corrosion protection. These methods include embodiments for sealing tubular devices within a vacuum chamber such that the entire device is not contained within the chamber. These methods also include embodiments for surface treating of tubular devices prior to coating. In addition, these methods include embodiments for vacuum coating of tubular devices using a multitude of devices, a multitude of vacuum chambers and various coating source configurations.
