JFEBEARTM Premium Connection Interchangeability Rules

JFFBEARTM Connections with differing weights are interchangeable


within a given OD. When differing weights or grades are made-up
together:

 Make-up Torque:
o The lower make-up torque of the lighter weight/grade
Pin connection should be used.
 Connection ID
o Pin higher weight than coupling – Step on pin side of
O M
connection.
C .C 0 0
o Box higher weight than pin – Step on box side of connection.
T 5
Coupling
FE -0
o Dimensions per side of the step may be determined with the
J 6
r o m 5 4 :2
rules below. See next page for examples.

JFEBEARTM Mixed connections examples (torque values with API modified):


Example 1: Pin heavier than box, same grade. ID step = 0.031”, applied torque meets lighter
weight.

Note: These interchangeability rules are to be used when running tubing and casing.
When accessory items such as tubing or casing hangers are being ran, it is
recommneded to contact your nearest JFETC office.
