API 8 Round jump-out failure mechanism • Frequent during casing over-pull • Final pin ID lower than original ID • Pin crests deformation • Box crests deformation
API Round thread Advantages/Kelebihan: - Easy to manufacture (mudah diproduksi) - Easy running (mudah dipasang) - Acceptable sealability response at low pressure (mampu sekat/seal untuk tekanan rendah) - Well known (sudah dikenal) Disadvantages/Kelemahan: - Poor tension resistance (ketahanan thd beban tarik lemah) - Poor sealability for medium and high pressure (mampuan sekat/seal untuk tekanan tinggi dan tingi lemah)
Premium Connections - Features Metal to Metal Seal BOX PIN Thread Form Torque Shoulder
Area kritis • gangguan aliran yang menyebabkan turbulence API Turbulence FLUID FLOW Premium streamline FLUID FLOW
Premium connections advantages • Premium thread form • Tension/Tarik • Compression/Tekan • Bending/Tekuk • Improved seal performance • Metal-to-metal seals • Teflon seals • Multiple seals • Torque shoulders • Torsional strength • Positive makeup position • Stored torque prevents back-off • Repeated make-up without performance degradation • Possible to repair as many as possible, no need total reprocess
Premium connections advantages • Relatively more expenses in term of unit price • Need good support such as running assistance and work shop for repair
