8. PROCEDURES

8.1 Inspection

Tool pullout shall start at the last required full form thread depth position as specified on the
licensee product drawing or Inspection Report, occur within a 90 degree maximum
circumferential zone, unless otherwise specified, and occur in lead. This means the transition
from full form thread depth to last scratch (zero thread height) shall fall within 90 degrees. This
style of thread pullout is typically obtained by radially retracting the threading insert away from the
part while remaining in lead.

8.1.1 Thread Pullout gage

8.1.1.1 A TenarisHydril proprietary thread pullout gage is used to establish the thread
pullout/end location. The thread pullout/end is defined as the point where the
threading insert pulls away from the thread root during the normal threading path.
The distance from thread pullout to the last scratch is less than 90 degrees. Adjust
all contact points on the thread pullout gage so they fit into the root of the thread
and the indicator contact point rides freely in the last thread thread groove. Apply

the gage to the box thread with the indicator contact just over 90 degrees from the
last scratch. Thread the gage around towards the last scratch until there is a
change in the thread root depth as indicated by movement of the dial indicator.
Mark this location and measure the thread length from the face to the stab flank.

8.1.1.2 For box threads too small for the thread PullOut Gage:

8.1.1.2.1 If threading is performed with a combination threading / higbee tool, the

thread pullout is located visually in line with the beginning of the higbee
ramp of the thread start.

8.1.1.2.2 If threading is performed with a seperate threading / higbee tool, the

thread pullout is measured 90 degrees before the last scratch..

8.1.2 Drawing Example:Thread Pull Out

8.2 Acceptance / Rejection criteria

Thread Pull Out Inspection is acceptable if the measured values are within the limits prescribed
on the IR.
8.3 Records

The result of these inspections shall be recorded on the IR.
