4 DRIL-QUIP

Exceptional Strength

All DRIL-QUIP connectors are manufac-

tured from high quality ring rolled alloy
forgings. The unique geometry of the
connectors, combined with high quality
materials, provides for optimum bend-
ing, tension and pressure capacities.

Rugged Thread Form

Rugged thread form
The rugged thread forms of the Quik-
Thread and Multi-Thread connectors
are designed with a negative 5° angle
on the load flank of the thread. This fea-
ture provides an interlocking force
ensuring a positive mechanical lock
isual
between the box and pin that prevents
thread jump-out. The pitch of the ndicator
thread provides for higher load carry-
ing capacity while reducing stress
concentration. The non-interference
thread design reduces radial stresses in
ligning
the connection. The steep thread taper
provides thicker wall sections at the rofile
higher load carrying first threads of the
pin and box.

teep
Reliable Sealing Capacity aper
A resilient seal located in the box pro-
vides reliable high-pressure sealing
capacity. The seal is located below the
threads to prevent pressure migration ligning
through the threaded area for increased rofile
pressure sealing capacity. Dual metal-to-
metal sealing is available as an option.

The Quik-Thread and Multi-Thread

connectors allow full joint weight of the
casing to be set into the box prior to
rotation. The make-up operation is as
easy as 1 - 2 - 3:

finally torqued with rig tongs. Proper
make-up can be visually verified by the
position of an indicator on the pin rela-
tive to the face of the box.

ANTI-ROTATION DEVICES
Quik-Thread and Multi-Thread Connectors are often
used in applications that require the use of anti-rota-
tion devices. These devices prevent connection
back-out or over-torque that may occur as a result of
torsional forces or impact loads.

Torsional forces, for example, could be applied to the

connectors during make-up/release of mudline sus-
pension running and tie-back tools, which require
rotation of the riser string. Impact loads generated
during driving applications can result in connector
back-off or over-torque. Anti-rotation keys are avail-
able to prevent both types of rotation.

DRIL-QUIP offers two types of anti-rotation devices:

Driving applications frequently require anti-
• Horizontal cam key
rotation keys.
• Vertical slot key

The connector selected for a given application determines

which key is used.

Horizontal Cam Key

Quik-Thread and Multi-Thread connectors designed

with a secondary drive shoulder are designated
D-type connectors. These connectors are equipped
with horizontal cam-type anti-rotation keys.

Cam-style anti-rotation keys are installed into a mating

cam-shaped slot on the OD of the pin. Diametrically
opposed keys are installed in opposite directions to
prevent right or left hand rotation. The hardened keys
have serrations which bite into the top shoulder of the HORIZONTAL-
box. Any attempt to rotate the pin is immediately CAM KEY
stopped by the caming action of the keys. The keys
are retained in their slots by an Allen-head bolt and
can be easily removed, if necessary.

Vertical Slot Key

Quik-Thread and Multi-Thread connectors that do

not have a secondary drive shoulder require vertical
slot keys. When the key is installed into a slot in the
pin, the serrations bite into the ID of the box, pre-
venting rotation of the pin relative to the box. The
key is captured in the slot to prevent disengagement
during driving operations. The key does not pro-
trude past the OD of the box and can be easily
removed, if necessary.

NO-CROSS™
COUPLING

The DRIL-QUIP No-Cross Coupling

is a replacement to the standard
API Buttress Casing Coupling. The
No-Cross includes a self-alignment
section above the threads of the
coupling which aligns the pipe to
the coupling during stabbing and
prior to initiation of thread make-
up, eliminating cross threading. The
coupling's threaded section is iden-
tical to a standard API Buttress
Coupling and, therefore, is compati-
ble with standard API Buttress
Casing Threads. The No-Cross has
the same joint strength as the stan-
dard API Buttress Coupling.

DESIGN
DRIL-QUIP specialty connectors are designed to offer both the section resultant force and locally induced
superior operational and strength characteristics. bending contribute to the stress.
The first step in the design process is the conceptual
development of a connector that provides a fast, safe All specialty connectors are designed to be field-
and efficient means of connecting casing joints compatible with the casing weight and grade to
under worst-case field conditions. Special attention which they are attached.
is given to durability to avoid handling damage
while in transport and/or running into the hole.
Having met these requirements the design is then
refined utilizing computer aided finite element
analyses (FEA) to optimize the connector geometry
regarding both static and cyclic fatigue-type
loadings.

Connector capacities are based on the maximum

shear stress theory of failure. This theory, in
generalized form, states that a material subjected to
any combination of loads will fail (by yielding or
fracturing) whenever the maximum shear stress
exceeds the shear strength (yield or ultimate) of the
material. DRIL-QUIP connector ratings are based on
the following conservative design criteria:

1) The maximum membrane stress intensity

should not exceed 2/3 of the material yield
strength, and
Engineering analysis of connector performed by DRIL-QUIP
engineering department.
2) The maximum membrane plus bending
stress intensity should not exceed the
material yield strength.

Stress intensity at a point is defined as twice the

maximum shear stress at that point and is the
maximum algebraic difference between the three (3)
principal stresses at the point. Membrane stress
intensity is the stress intensity based on average
principal stresses for the particular section.
Membrane plus bending stress intensities at the
inside and outside of a section are simply the stress
intensities at these respective locations, but referred
to as membrane plus bending stress intensities since

DRIL-QUIP's specialty connectors

have been designed and modeled
using the most advanced
computer techniques.

TESTING
Prototypes of each DRIL-QUIP specialty connec-
tor type undergo extensive function and load
testing. This testing verifies design, structural
and operational specifications.

Functional Testing

Repeated functional tests under simulated

worst-case field conditions are conducted to:

1) Verify connector operational characteris-

tics meet or exceed the design criteria

2) Verify repeatability and accuracy of con-

nector stab, make-up and release

3) Verify connector ruggedness for han-

dling

4) Drive testing performed where applicable Metallurgical testing

5) Monitor any unusual wear

Load Testing

Tensile, bending and pressure testing are per-

formed to:

1) Verify finite element analyses

2) Monitor connector performance under

tensile, bending and combined tensile
and bending loading conditions

3) Establish rated and ultimate capacities

based on test data

4) Verify connector pressure ratings and

seal performance
