 Advanced sealing
options

Primary metal-to-metal
SEAL | 18" TO 24"
The BlueDock® connector has a primary
metal-to-metal seal with a sphere-to-cone
geometry based on the Blue® Series
technology, that provides a smooth seal
sliding and a reliable parabolic contact
pressure profile.

It offers excellent galling resistance and it

has an extremely low sensitivity to axial
displacement, maintaining the sealability
under extreme combined loads.

Primary elastomeric
SEAL | 18" TO 38"
For applications that do not require MTM
sealability, the BlueDock® connector has a
primary seal option of elastomeric ring that
covers the whole product size range.

The finite element analysis (FEA) technique

was applied to optimize the elastomeric
seal groove dimensioning and positioning.
The safe O-Ring retention during handling,
cleaning and make-and-break operations is
ensured by the dovetailed groove profile. The
box O-Ring is pre-installed at the mill.

Optional SEA WATER EXCLUSION

SEAL | 18" TO 38"
Tenaris has developed an elastomeric
external seal option for offshore applications.
The external seal is a barrier that prevents
sea water from entering the thread and
affecting the connector’s fatigue performance.

As in the primary elastomeric seal, finite

element analysis (FEA) was used to optimize
the seal design. The pin O-Ring is pre-installed
at the mill.
