 Notes

[1] Calculated as per API 5L formula (ρl = 10.69 x (D – t) x t).

[2] Calculated as per API 5CT / ISO 11960 formula (Drift = d – 3/16”).
[3] As per Customer specification.
[4] As per API 5L.
[5]Tension and Compression Yield Strength based on Specified Minimum Yield Strength
(SMYS), and nominal dimensions (as per API 5C3).
[6]Calculated as per API 5C3 assuming 87.5% minimum wall thickness.
[7]Calculated as per API 5C3.
[8] It is the Dog Leg Severity to reach SMYS on the outer fiber of pipe (OD).
[9] Metal to Metal seal option up to 22 in. Elastomeric seal option for all the family sizes.
[10] Welding-necks in Connectors are made of the same nominal dimensions (OD and ID)
as the pipe body to be weld-on.
[11] Maximum available slots for Anti-Back-Off (ABO) keys per connector. One ABO key is
the product default unless special request from Customer.
[12] Connector material is produced by rolling or forging with proprietary grade
specifications.
[13] Connector Tension and Compression Strength are calculated based on SMYS of
Connector material and the corresponding bearing surfaces involved. Efficiencies are
calculated by the ratio between the Connector Ratings and the Pipe Body Ratings [3].
[14] Internal and External Pressure Ratings are matched to the Pipe Body Ratings.
Connector actual capacities, structural and for sealability, exceed the Pipe Body Ratings.
[15] Connector Bending capacity is matched to the Pipe Body Rating. Connector actual
capacity exceeds the Pipe Body Rating.
[16] Torque values are recommended for API Modified thread compound (Friction
Factor=1). Whenever a different thread compound is used, the corresponding correction
factor must be applied to torque values.
For not tested sizes, the following comment will be added to note [16]: “Torque values
specified were numerically estimated, to be confirmed by FST”.
[17] Maximum Operational Torque declared is an estimated value to be considered as
guidance. The actual Connector Yield Torque extensively exceeds the declared value.
