Seal geometry
VAM® ACE is a T&C gas-tight connection specifically designed for severe applications and has been
field-proven for more than 20 years in the most demanding environments throughout the world.

BENEFITS

• Excellent gas-tight sealing under high tensile loads

• Internal flushness allowing maximum production flow
• Easy to run and repair

Metal-to-metal seal Coupling design

® ®
• The VAM ACE metal-to-metal seal takes advantage of the “VAM • Critical cross section of the coupling is greater than that of the pipe
effect”design which has made the reputation of the VAM® joint body.
throughout the world.
• Optimized internal counter bore length to allow good make-up
• The low taper seal (10% taper) provides gas-tightness under high stress distribution.

• Internal ID of the coupling matching the internal ID of nominal

Reverse angle torque shoulder Streamlined internal profile

• The reverse angle torque shoulder provides a positive torque stop, • The taper of the internal bore in the pipe end is limited to only 6°
which allows an accurate power-tight position minimizing hoop for a flush junction with the coupling counter-bore to minimize
stresses in the connection. turbulence and pressure loss.
• The wedge effect caused by the reverse angle gives the connection
superior structural strength.
Options
• VAM® ACE SC90 / VAM® ACE SC80 (special clearance): offer 90%
Hook thread design and 80% tensile efficiency respectively with reduced coupling OD
when extra clearance is requested.
• A 3° reverse angle on the load flank provides superior tension
strength. • VAM® ACE SB (special bevel): coupling face has a 20° bevel to avoid
hang-ups while running multiple string completions.
• 4 TPI on large ODs eliminates the risk of cross-threading.
• Combined with the reverse angle torque shoulder the 3° load flank
creates a “wedge”effect which improves the structural strength of the
connection.
Joint yield strengths are calculated from the minimum specified material yield stress and the critical joint cross sectional area, pipe or coupling, as appropriate.
