The user is fully responsible for the accuracy and suitability of use of the technical
information. Workstrings International cannot assume responsibility for the results obtained through the use of this material. No expressed or implied warranty is intended. Drill pipe assembly properties are calculated based on uniform OD and wall thickness. No safety factor is applied. The information provided for various
inspection classes and for various wear conditions (remaining body wall) is for information only and does not represent or imply acceptable operation limits. It is the responsibility of the customer and the end user to determine the appropriate performance ratings, acceptable use of the product, maintain safe operational practices,
and to apply a prudent safety factor suitable for the application. For API connections that have different pin and box IDs, tool joint ID refers to the pin ID. Per Chapter B, Section 4 VII of the IADC drilling manual, it is recommended that drilling torque should not exceed 80% of MUT.

Makeup Torque Guidelines
- Good COPPER-BASED thread compound is recommended for rotary-shouldered drill pipe connections by the OEM.
- Be LIBERAL with the thread compound in the box, the base of the box, and on the pin using a copper-based or a
compatible thread compound.
- Ensure 360 DEGREES of coverage of the threads and torque shoulders.
- Ensure 360 DEGREES of coverage on the seal surfaces on completion pipe.
- Always ENSURE proper pipe alignment.
- ADJUST makeup torque according to thread compound friction factor (FF) greater than 1.0 FF up to 1.15 FF.
Workstrings Engineering is available for more information.
- MINIMIZE clamp pressure with the tongs or iron roughneck.
- MAXIMIZE the distance between the box shoulder and lower jaw die per OEM guidelines (1”-2” minimum for most
tool joints).
- Use a SLOW rotation speed during spin-up and break-out of the first 5-6 threads - especially critical for premium
and completion connections.
NOTE: More detailed running procedures for proprietary rotary-shouldered connections are available from the OEM’s website
(NOV Grant Prideco and Tenaris), Workstrings Engineering or Workstrings’ website.
