Notes: The Minimum Make-Up Torque based on the appropriate thread compound friction factor (FF) is recommended per API. MUTs
lower than the Minimum MUT should never be used.
-Above dimensions are nominal.
-The following are registered trademarks of NOV-Grant
Per API: Normal torque range is tabulated (minimum) value plus 10 percent. Higher torque values may be used under extreme
Prideco™: conditions and is recommended particularly when downhole torque and/or backoff is a concern.
-There is no published pressure rating for this
connection. Adjust MUT values per the applied thread compound's FF greater than 1.0, without exceeding 1.15. Above values tabulated at 1.0 and
-Lift subs required with these drill collars. 1.15 FF.
