An API external-upset connection used in workstrings and production tubing.
Special applications include highly deviated and extended reach wells, milling, jarring, fishing, drilling cement and diamond-coring operations.
Features
- Available in sizes from 2 3/8" to 4 1/2".
- Exceptional torque strength developed through the simultaneous engagement of opposing flanks of the double hooked dovetail thread.
- Streamlined clearance OD facilitates running, pulling, and circulating and eliminates coupling face hang-up.
- Trouble-free make-up is developed with the rugged, coarse pitch thread and steep taper for deep stabbing.
- 100% pipe body ratings for tension and bending provided by machining pin and box on API EUE upset. Reverse angle stab flank provides 100% compression rating.
- 100% pipe body internal yield and collapse strength created with the lubricant seal of the dovetail threads.
- Wedge 501™ is interchangeable with Wedge 531™, Wedge 551™ and Wedge 561™.
