Expandable tubular connection with screw threadform for connecting tubular members
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11953122B2) discloses a novel connection system for expandable tubular members. The system involves a first expandable tubular member with a specific screw threadform engaging with a second expandable tubular member with a corresponding screw threadform. Upon connection, the roots and crests of the threadforms align, forming clearances between the load flanks. The connection allows for radial expansion to a second position, with the clearances becoming axially narrower in this position. The method involves moving the tubular members relative to each other, rotating to engage the threadings, and connecting them in a specific position to ensure proper alignment for expansion.
Furthermore, the patent also describes a method for connecting the expandable tubular members, involving the entry of a pin end into a box end, rotation to engage the threadings, and connection in a specific position. This method results in the formation of expansion spaces between the flanks of the pin and box, allowing for radial expansion to a second position. The alignment of crests and roots ensures a secure connection, while the clearances between the flanks accommodate the expansion process. Additionally, the method involves the formation of expansion spaces between stab flanks of the pin and box, further enhancing the expandability of the connection system. Overall, the patented system and method provide a reliable and efficient way to connect and expand tubular members in various applications.
