Proper break-in is probably the most important factor

affecting the life of the tool joint connection. Here are
some recommendations to follow:
1. Proper make-up torque is determined by the
connection type, size, OD and ID and may be
found in torque tables.
2. Make up connections slowly, preferably using
chain tongs. (High speed kelly spinners or the
spinning chain used on initial make-up can
cause galling of the threads).
3. Tong them up to the predetermined torque using
a recently calibrated torque gauge to measure
the required line-pull.
Note: Monitor breakout torque. It should be
less than or no greater than make-up
torque. If it is greater, the connection
should be cleaned, inspected and
repaired, before it is made up again.
4. Breakout, visually inspect, redope and make up
two more times before running in hole. Always
use backup tongs to make and break connections.
5. Stagger breaks on each trip so that each connection can be checked, redoped and made up
every second or third trip, depending on the
length of drill pipe and size of rig.
A new string of drill pipe deserves good surface handling equipment and tools. Check slips and master
bushings before damage occurs to the tube. (See the
IADC Drilling Manual for correct measurements).
Do not stop the downward movement of the drill stem
with the slips. This can cause crushing or necking
down of the drill pipe tube. The drill pipe can also be
damaged by allowing the slips to ride the pipe on trips
out of the hole.
Good rig practices will help eliminate time consuming
trips in the future, looking for washouts or fishing for
drill pipe lost in the hole. For more information refer to
the IADC Drilling Manual.

Note: 1. The use of outside diameters (OD) smaller than those listed in the table may be
acceptable on Slim Hole (S.H.) tool joints due to special service requirements.
2. Make-up torque values may be lower than those published in API RP 7G Latest
Edition. The make-up values are lower due to the combined torsional
and tensile loads found in service conditions.

Types of Grant Prideco Double

Shoulder Connections
There are three types of double shoulder connections
offered by Grant Prideco.
HI TORQUE (HT) First generation double shoulder connection providing approximately 40% more
torque capacity than API connections of equivalent
dimensions. Not interchangeable with API connections.
eXtreme Torque (XT ) Second generation double
shoulder connection providing approximately 70%
more torque capacity than API connections of equivalent dimensions. Not interchangeable with API
connections. Two primary differences exist between
HT and XT connections: 1) XT has a flatter taper
and 2) XT has increased thread root radii.
o eXtreme Torque with Metal-To-Metal Seal (XTM) Industry first gas tight pressure rated rotary
shoulder connection achieved through a 15 metalto-metal (M-T-M) seal on the pin nose. Provides
torque capacity similar to that of XT connections.
Not interchangeable with API connections.
Grant Prideco Double Shoulder (GPDS)

Double shoulder connection which is interchangeable with API connections and provides 20-50%
more torque capacity than API connections of
equivalent dimensions.
The below figure illustrates the taper difference between
HT and XT connections.

The following sections provide general guidelines for running

and handling double shoulder connections. Connection-specific running and handling procedures are available direct from
Grant Prideco and can be downloaded from
www.grantprideco.com.
Tool Joint Break-in

Most drill pipe connections are broken-in during manufacture. The following break-in procedure is recommended for connections which have not been broken-in
during manufacture.
Step 1:
Make the joints up to the maximum recommended make-up torque, and then break
them out. If the break-out torque is less
than the make-up torque, the joints do not
have to be separated.
Step 2:
Make the joints up again to the same

make-up torque and break them out.
Separate the pin and box and reapply
thread compound.
Step 3:
Make the joints up again to the same makeup torque and they are ready for service.
Note:
The break-out torque should be less than

the make-up torque. If the break-out torque
is more than the make-up torque, separate
the joints and inspect them for damage.
Picking Up Pipe with Double Shoulder

Connections for the First Time
Visually examine the thread protectors for damage
such as dents or crushing. If any thread protectors are
damaged, inspect the threads on that joint for damage.
If the joints were shipped to the rig with rust preventive
on the threads, it must be removed. Use soap and
water, steam or a vapor degreasing solvent such as
Varsol. No residue should remain on the threads after
cleaning.
If the joints were shipped to the rig with thread compound, it is not necessary to remove the thread compound unless there is a problem suspected.
Inspect the threads for damage or for foreign material.
Before the joints are put in service, the threads, the primary make-up shoulders and secondary make-up
shoulders must be coated with a good quality rotary
shouldered connection thread compound.
17
Special Considerations When Running

XT and XT-M Connections
Check to ensure the counterbalance on the top
drive is working properly and provides a minimum
amount of weight applied to the connection during
make-up.
Ensure the bore through the top drive bell stabbing
guide (top drive flipper) is no more than 1/2" larger
in diameter than the box tool joint diameter.
Because of the flatter taper, XT and XT-M pins do
not stab as deeply into the box as do HT, GPDS
and API connections. Alignment of the pin to the
box when stabbing and spinning up is more critical
for XT and XT-M connections. A stabbing guide is
required when running XT and XT-M connections,
and alignment should be verified before spinning
up.
Proper alignment, along with slow initial make-up of
the starting threads, is necessary with XT and XT-M
connections. Use chain tongs or slow speed spinners when spinning in the starting threads. Highspeed spinners may be used after the starting
threads are engaged.
Minor thread damage may occur within the starting
threads. This is not detrimental to the connection
and should be removed with a soft grinding wheel
or a file.
18
Application of Thread Compound to

All contacting surfaces, the threads, the primary
shoulders, secondary shoulders and 15 M-T-M seal
(XT-M), must be coated with a good quality rotary
shoulder connection thread compound. Copperbased thread compounds are recommended.
Some drilling fluids or drilling fluid additives may
affect the frictional properties of the tool joint and
thread compound. If this is the case, rinse the drilling
fluid off the connections before applying thread compound.
Remove drilling fluid from the secondary shoulder
and 15 M-T-M seal (XT-M) of the box before making
up the connection for the trip in the hole. Trapped
drilling fluid can promote corrosion of the secondary
shoulders.
Racking the pipe will wipe thread compound off the
pin nose. If pins are doped coming out of the hole,
reapply compound to the secondary shoulder before
the connections are made up.
NOTE: For XT-M connections, localized corrosion or pitting
may occur on the 15 M-T-M seal if racked back without
thread compound applied to it. This is more common with
completion fluids than common drilling fluids. Apply a liberal and even coat of quality thread compound to the 15 seal
when racking back XT-M connections.

Tonging, Proper Gripping of the Box

During Make-up
Tongs should be placed at least 2 inches from the
make-up shoulder on XT boxes size 46 and greater,
all HT and all XT-M boxes. These are considered
"long" double shoulder connections. This is not
required for XT boxes less than 46 and all GPDS
boxes.
The threads of a long double shoulder box are about
1-1/2 inches further away from the makeup shoulder
than the threads of an API box. Tongs or top drive
torque wrenches should engage these long double
shoulder boxes at the same location in relation to the
threads that they would engage an API joint.
On the Varco BJ PH85 pipe handler torque wrench,
this can be accomplished by decreasing the length of
the saver sub from 7 inches to 5-1/2 inches. This will
put the tong dies 2 inches from the box make-up
shoulder.
Back-up tongs should always be used
2 inches
Recommended
Tonging Area

Tong Height
Bucking up tool joints with tongs can put high bending loads in the pipe.
Review the IADC Drilling Manual Latest Edition,
or Tong Height Figure in API RP 7G Latest Edition
about height of tool joint above slips to prevent
bending pipe during tonging.
H max
21
Alignment when Making up

Connections
Galling and other damage can occur during stabbing and spinning connections up.
A stand of pipe can weigh between 1,500 lbs and
2,300 lbs. At initial contact, the weight could be
supported by the sharp edge of one thread against
the flank of the mating thread. This can cause high
contact stresses and wipe the thread compound off.
Slight misalignment of the pin and box can cause
further increases in the stresses when spinning up.
The whipping action of spinning pipe can cause
high loads on threads.
NOTE: Alignment of the pin to the box when stabbing and spinning up is more critical for XT and
XT-M connections. A stabbing guide is required
when running XT and XT-M connections and alignment should be verified before spinning up.
Box
Pin
Contact of sharp edge of

pin thread on box flank
Tripping
Alternate breaks when tripping so that each joint
will be broken-out every third trip.
Monitor break-out torque.
The break-out torque should be less than the makeup torque. High break-out torque is an indication of
downhole make-up or thread damage.
Do not let the end of the pin strike the box make-up
shoulder when stabbing the pin in the box.
Stabbing guides are required for XT and XT-M connections and recommended for HT and GPDS
connections.
22
Standing Pipe Back

Using normal drill pipe care and handling practices,
no special care is required to protect the pin nose
when standing the pipe back. The pin nose is not a
seal. Minor damage to the pin nose from standing
the pipe back does not affect the connections performance.
It is not necessary to use thread protectors when
standing the pipe back.
Do not use pressed steel thread protectors when
standing the pipe back. They could allow the
weight of the stand to be supported by the primary
make-up shoulder of the connection on the sharp
edge of the thread protectors.
Apply a liberal and even coat of quality thread compound to the 15 M-T-M seal when racking back
XT-M connections.
Sharp edge of
thread protector
can damage
shoulder.
23
Downhole Make-up
Downhole make-up can be detected by high breakout torque. The break-out torque should be less than
the make-up torque.
If downhole make-up is suspected, punch mark the
pin and box next to the make-up shoulders when tripping into the hole (after the connection is made up).
If downhole make-up occurs, the position of the
punch marks will change.
Downhole make-up can cause
Compressed box counterbores

Milled Hardness Flat

Punch marks
Apply punch marks in line

with hardness flat to make
them easier to find.
24
The following sections provide information and general guidelines regarding the field inspection of Grant Prideco double
shoulder connections and are not intended to replace Grant
Prideco Field Inspection Procedures and Drawings.
Connection type-specific Field Inspection Procedures and
connection type and size-specific Field Inspection Drawings
are available direct from Grant Prideco and can be downloaded from www.grantprideco.com.
Make-up Shoulder and

Bevel Diameter
The primary make-up shoulders provide the seal for
the connection (HT, XT and GPDS). For XT-M,
the primary seal is the 15 M-T-M seal and the backup seal is the primary make-up shoulder.
The primary make-up shoulders and 15 M-T-M seal
(XT-M) should be inspected frequently using current
Grant Prideco Field Inspection Procedures for the
applicable connection type.
Proper operation and correct shoulder loads depend
on the pin length and box depth of double shoulder
connections being within specifications. The pin
length and box depth are shown on the Field
Inspection Drawing for the particular size and type
connection.
No more than 1/32 inch should be removed from
either the primary or secondary make-up shoulder at
any one refacing. No more than 1/16 inch cumulatively should be removed from either the primary or
secondary make-up shoulder. The correct pin length
and box depth must be maintained when resurfacing
make-up shoulders.
The Grant Prideco benchmark is a reference for
checking how much material has been removed
from make-up shoulders.
The surface finish of the primary make-up shoulder
should be 150 RMS or less.
When Grant Prideco double shoulder connections
are refaced, the bevel does not need to be remachined.
25
The pin nose is not a seal, it is a mechanical stop.

The pin nose must be free of raised metal or other
imperfections that could prevent proper make up or
cause galling. Pin nose damage can be repaired
with a hand file.
Pin
Box
26
Checking Pin Length

The pin length can be checked with a dial indicator
or depth micrometers. If the pin length is short by
1/32 inch or less, the pin can be repaired by resurfacing the primary shoulder.
If the pin length is short by more than 1/32 inch, the
pin must be recut.
If the pin length is too long by 1/32 inch or less, the
pin can be repaired by resurfacing the pin nose.
If the pin length is too long by more than1/32 inch,
the pin must be recut.
A Go/No Go gauge can be provided by Grant Prideco to

field check double shoulder connections primary shoulder to secondary shoulder pin length and box depth. The
gauge does not provide dimensional information on the
pin length or box depth.
If the pin nose does not contact the gauge when used
as shown in the figure, the length should be inspected
with measuring instruments that determine the actual
distance between the shoulders.
27
Checking Box Depth

The box depth can be checked with a dial indicator
or depth micrometers. If the box depth is short by
1/32 inch or less, the box can be repaired by resurfacing the secondary shoulder.
If the box depth is short by more than 1/32 inch, the
box must be recut.
If the box depth is too long by 1/32 inch or less, the
box can be repaired by resurfacing the primary
shoulder.
If the box depth is too long by more than 1/32 inch,
the box must be recut.
A Go/No Go gauge can be provided by Grant Prideco to

field check double shoulder connections primary shoulder to secondary shoulder pin length and box depth. The
gauge does not provide dimensional information on the
pin length or box depth.
If the primary shoulder does not contact the gauge

when used as shown in the figure, the depth should be
inspected with measuring instruments that determine
the actual distance between the shoulders.
28
Special Considerations When

Inspecting XT and XT-M
Connections
The stab flank to crest radius of the starting four to
five threads of the pin and box connections round off
during break-in and normal operation. Minor thread
damage may occur within these starting threads.
This is not detrimental to the connection and should
be removed with a soft grinding wheel or a file.
The XT-M connection contains a 15 M-T-M seal near
the pin and box secondary shoulders. This is the primary sealing surface for the connection.
o Round pit type defects up to 1/32 inch in
diameter and not exceeding 1/32 inch in
depth are permissible.
o Multiple pits of this type are acceptable
provided there is at least 1 inch
circumferential separation between them.
o Circumferential lines or marks are
acceptable provided they cannot be
detected by rubbing a fingernail across the
surface.
o Areas highlighted in the figure below are the
non-contacting areas of the seal. Damage
or pitting is permitted in these areas of the
seal, provided the balance of the contact
surface is without damage exceeding the
requirements above.
o XT-M connections may not be refaced.
Damages exceeding requirements for the
threads, seal and/or shoulder faces require
the connection to be faced/chased.

HEAVY WEIGHT
DRILL PIPE
Heavy weight drill pipe (HWDP) was developed to provide a

gradual transition from heavy drill collars to relatively lightweight drill pipe. By providing a gradual change in weight and
rigidity, HWDP reduces connection fatigue problems and
increases drill stem service life. And because it bends more
easily than drill collars, it simplifies directional control in highangle and horizontal drilling. HWDP has less wall contact
than drill collars, reducing differential sticking tendencies.
Spiraled HWDP configurations further decrease differential
sticking tendency while helping to remove cuttings out of the
annulus. Grant Prideco offers three types of HWDP configurations to meet the challenge of severe drilling conditions.

Tri-Spiral HWDP Developed for high-angle applications such as extended reach and horizontal drilling.
- Equally spaced, three spiral upset design helps
improve cuttings removal, reduce differential sticking
tendencies and torque and drag.

Care And Maintenance
Initial Make Up
Even though quality connections are heavily coated
with phosphate, thread damage is not always prevented. A generous and thorough application of highquality thread dope (40 to 60 percent metallic zinc
minimum) will help prevent galling.
New connections should be walked in with chain
tongs. Always use the recommended make-up torque
for the thread design. Exercise care to maintain
calibrated torque measuring and indicating gauges for
future use. After initial make-up, break-out the connection, visually inspect, redope and make-up two
more times before running in the hole.
Note: Monitor break-out torque, it should be less
than or no greater than make-up torque. If it
is greater, the connection should be cleaned,
inspected and repaired, before it is made up
again.
Use thread protectors on both connections when
handling drill collars. Alternate different joints on each
trip. Clean and inspect the individual connections.
Qualified personnel should periodically conduct a
magnetic particle/black light inspection. Collars that
are left idle or put in storage, should be cleaned,
inspected, repaired and rust-proofed, as necessary
before installing thread protectors.
Field Welding
Extreme caution should be used when welding drill
collar material in the field. This material is high alloy
steel, carefully heat-treated to provide optimum performance. When repair welding or hardbanding, use
proper preheat, interpass and post-heat temperatures
to prevent cracking and metallurgical degradation of
the collar.
Your Grant Prideco authorized repair facility can provide welding repair service to factory specifications to
ensure weld area integrity. Contact your representative today for more information.

Bending Strength Ratios
Sizes below six inches should have a BSR of 2.25:1
to 2.75:1. Conditions which require high rpm and
small collars compared to the hole size, use 2.25:1 to
2.85:1. For abrasive conditions, use 2.50:1 to 3.00:1.
If the rpm is kept low and the collars are closer to the
hole size, use 2.25:1 to 3.20:1. In corrosive environments, use 2.50:1 to 3.00:1.

*NOTE 1:
Torque figures preceded by an asterisk indicate that the weaker

member for the corresponding outside diameter (OD) and bore is the
BOX. For all other torque values the weaker member is the PIN.
NOTE 2:
In each connection size and type group, torque values apply to all
connection types in the group, when used with the same drill collar
outside diameter and bore, i.e. 2 3/8, API IF, API NC 26, and 2 7/8 Slim
Hole connections used with 3 1/2 x 1 1/4 drill collars all have the same
minimum make-up torque of 4,600 ft.-lb., and the BOX is the
weaker member.

1 Basis of calculations for recommended make-up torque assumed the use of a

thread compound containing a 0.08 coefficient of friction, applied thoroughly to
all threads and shoulders, and using the modified Jack Screw formula in
Appendix A, paragraph A.8 and a unit stress of 62,500 psi in the box or pin,
whichever is weaker.
2 Normal torque range is tabulated value plus 10%. Higher torque values may be
used under extreme conditions.
3 Make-up torque for 27/8 PAC connection is based on 87,500 psi stress and other
factors listed in footnote1.
4 Make-up torque for H-90 connection is based on 56,200 psi stress and other
factors listed in footnote1.

* The minimum size drill collar, calculated from the Lubinski and Hock equation, with
the specific sizes of hole and casing combination, is too large for conventional fishing tools. When the minimum drill collar diameter is too large to washover and/or
catch with an overshot, other steps should be taken. Some of the possibilities are
as follows:
Use turned down casing couplings.
Use integral joints on casing.
Under-ream the hole.
Run smaller size casing.
* Use a packed hole assembly instead of a pendulum.
** Not API standard size drill collar.

Picking Up a New Kelly
Under ideal conditions, a new Drive Bushing assembly

should be used when picking up a new kelly. If this is not
possible, the following checklist should be performed:
1. Inspect surfaces on Drive Bushing rollers
for wear. Example: For a 51/4 inch Hex, if wear
exceeds 1/8 inch, reverse the rollers.
2. Check clearance between roller face and side of
kelly. Example: For a 51/4 inch Hex, if clearance is
more than 1/8 inch, inspect roller assembly and
Kelly Bushing for excessive wear.
3. Inspect bottom taper of Drive Pins for wear and
damage. Replace as necessary.
4. Inspect for clearance between upper and lower
halves, replace if clearance is zero.
Remember, a worn out Drive Bushing can severely
damage a new kelly.

General Notes on Subs
NOTES:
1. Other lengths may be specified

by
the
2. Fishing neck (tong space) length, unless specified

otherwise, is one half the overall length of the sub.
For example, 18 inch fishing neck (tong space) on

General Notes On Subs

NOTES:
1. Other lengths may be specified by the
customer, example 48 inches.
2. Fishing neck (tong space) length, unless specified
otherwise, is one half the overall length of the sub.
For example, 18 inch fishing neck (tong space) on a
36 inch sub; 24 inch on a 48 inch sub.
3. Bevel Diameters:
A. If the connection is to screw onto a piece of
Drill Pipe (pipe, D/P) use the bevel diameters
listed on drawing HB1003 in the Bevel Dia.
section of the Machining Handbook.
B. If the connection is a Bit Box (with or without a
float bore) use the bevel diameters listed in
column B in the top chart of drawing HB1017
Float Bore in this section of the Machining
Handbook.
C. If the connection is to screw onto a Drill Collar
(Collar, D/C) use the bevel diameters listed at
the bottom of the drawing of the specified
connection.

Density of Kick Fluids (ppg) = MW [(SICPSIDPP) Height of Kick 0.052]
Approximate Typical Fluid Densities: Gas-2ppg,
Oil-7ppg, Water-9ppg
Lag Time Rule of Thumb: Pressure changes from
choke movement will take about two seconds per
1000 of depth to travel down the annulus and up
the drill pipe to the DP gauge.

B. Converting Pressures, psi into mud weight, ppg.

(NOTE: Anytime a pressure is to be converted to
mud weight, the following formula is used.)
All of the following use the same formula:
Pressure, psi
= Mud Weight, ppg
0.052 x TVD, ft.

Using the calculator, this formula is worked as follows:
(Pressure, psi) (0.052) (TVD, ft) = Mud Weight, ppg.
1. Kill Weight Mud, ppg.
(SIDPP, psi)- (0.052) - (TVD, ft) + (O.M.W.) = Kill Wt., ppg.
2. Equivalent Mud Weight = ppg. (E.M.W.)
(pressure, psi) (0.052) (TVD, ft) = E.M.W., ppg
3. Equivalent Circulating Density, ppg (E.C.D.)
