BHGE-T2 Thread Inspection and Rework Procedure – all Sizes

BHGE-T2 Thread Glossary

There are various types of threads named as BHGE-T2.
Each of these different types is based on the original BHGE-T2 thread design and shows only slight
modifications. Never the less the thread needs to be inspected and reworked strictly to its design
related criteria given in this procedure.
Following is a brief description of the different BHGE-T2 threads and how they can be easily
visually identified.
Always use the given terms for documentation and communication.

BHGE-T2
Most commonly used thread type on Baker Hughes INTEQ products. Usually combined with
Modular (M30 bus technology) connection. This is the original thread design which can be fitted
with the optional seal / blind adapter (refer to BHGE-T2S (S = Sealed) on page 11).

Interchangeable BHGE-T2 Connections

Some BHGE-T2 Connections are interchangeable with other BHGE-T2 connections having different
names. "Interchangeable" means that the connections will mate together, make-up and function,
though function may not be as good as with the preferred connection. This situation has occurred
because efforts were made to maintain interchangeability with existing products as improvements
were made to connections over the years.
Connections marked with an "X" are interchangeable

BHGE-T2 Thread Inspection and Rework Procedure – all Sizes

Connection inspection - All Types / All sizes

Before performing any connection inspection the thread need to be cleaned of dirt,
drilling mud, grease etc. The cleaning area shall include the OD and ID of the
connection with an additional overlapping area of minimum 50 mm (2 inch)!
Use a high pressure cleaner, brushes and solvent for cleaning connections that are
bare or assembled with high pressure plugs ONLY!
If the connection is wired or do not have a high pressure plug installed, Do Not Use a
high pressure cleaner.
Take special care to the thread root which may be cleaned with a fiberglass
wirebrush and straight grinder.

Inspection Criteria given in this procedure shall apply for all BHGE-T2 thread types if not otherwise
stated.
Refer to the tool related manufacturing or Repair and Maintenance Manual (BHGEdms, Section 8) for
additional / exceptional dimensions overriding general dimensions given in this procedure.
The connection inspection of any BHGE-T2 thread can be classified into 3 groups, each group
corresponding to the related status. Refer also to Page 25 for rework explanation. Post rework NDT
only needs to be done, if the rework was triggered by crack indication or imperfection in thread root
radius during the incoming NDT inspection.

Visual Connection Inspection and Acceptance Criteria

Crop (cut-off) all connections behind the fatigue crack. Fatigue cracks shall not be
removed by grinding, recutting, chase-and-face or any other repair operations.
1. Any polishing to remove imperfections shall be restricted to the area of
imperfection in order to keep as much as possible of a consistent machined thread
profile to prevent galling caused by uneven thread profile and removal of shot
peened surface. Excessive polishing shall be avoided.

All areas: No fatique cracks allowed! Fatique cracks appear in transverse (circumferential or max.
45° orientation)
All areas: No stress corrosion cracks or cracks induced by material inclusion allowed (!) but need to
be polished out following the limits given below for the individual areas of the connection..
Thread Root Radius: max. 5 pits or other imperfections along the full thread length allowed but must
be polished out following the rework instruction of "Pitting Repair Of Thread Root" on Page 46.
Crest and Flanks: max. 15 pits or other imperfections accepted along the full thread length without
polishing but shall not exceed 3 mm (0.118 inch) in diameter and 2 mm (0.078 inch) in depth. If the
pits or other imperfections exceed these limits they need to be polished out. Polished areas shall
have a smooth transition to remaining crest and flank. Polished area should not exceed 6 mm (0.236
inch) in diameter and 3 mm (0.118 inch) in depth. Galling on maximum 38 mm (1-1/2") in length
along any thread helix allowed. Raised material must be removed.

BHGE-T2 Thread Inspection and Rework Procedure – all Sizes

Bevel: An approximate 45 degree OD bevel at least 1/32" wide shall be present for the full
circumference on pin and box. The bevel can have any kind of damage or imperfection (no cracks
accepted) as long as those damages are not affecting the sealing function of the thread shoulder (see
Thread Shoulder).
Modular (M30) Ring Groove: Visually inspect the correct deburring (rounded edges) of the groove and
especially the transition to the feedthru counter bore and the 2 location bores.
Incorrect or missing deburring will cut the insolating rubber of the M30
ring which can cause electrical shorts and tool malfunction! See
Figure 50 to Figure 53 for reference,

Thread shoulder: Surface imperfections that are estimated to cover not more than 50% of each
individual radial seal width allowed. Imperfections starting from the Axial Seal Groove or the M30 Ring
groove are not allowed. Minimum a shoulder height of 0.5mm (0.02 inch) must be without any
imperfections (see Figure 1). Imperfections on pin shoulder in the axial sealing area are prohibited. The
location of this area for all sizes can be taken from Table 4 (measuring the diameter) or Table 5
(measuring the radial distance).
Estimated imperfections shall not be deeper than 0,4mm (0,016inch) at any given location (see Figure
16). Circumferential scratches which are not deeper than 0,2mm (0.008inch) allowed. Elevated spots
must be removed. Shoulder flatness shall be verified using a straight edge, no gaps greater than
0,05mm (0.002inch) allowed.
Maximum allowed area of imperfections must not exceed 10% of overall shoulder area.
See Figure 54 for reference.

1. Additional Requirements for BHGE-T2 Sealed Connection

Sealing area in Box Bore Back: Pitting or other imperfections which not exceed 0.1 mm (0.004 inch)
in diameter and depth allowed with or without polishing. If greater pitting or other imperfections are
observed, they can be accepted as described in "Box Bore Back" on page 13, but with the possible loss
of sealing for the sealing adapter. This will increase the risk of pitting within the connection as it is with
the non-sealed connection. A DWR (Deviation Waiver Request) is required to accept the "enhanced"
acceptance criteria!
Pin ID seal: max. 15 pits or other imperfections accepted but each one shall not exceed
2 mm (0.079 inch) in diameter and 1 mm (0.039 inch) in depth with or without polishing.
Pin Internal shoulder: No washouts or other imperfections exceeding 3 mm (0.118 inch) in diameter
and depth allowed with or without polishing. Raised material must be removed. Surface damage of no
more than 30% of the shoulder width area allowed.
Pin face: No raised material allowed.
Internal BHI / Metric Cylindrical thread: max. 30 pits or other imperfections accepted (at thread
flanks, crest and root), but each one should not exceed 2 mm (0.079 inch) in diameter and 1 mm (0.039
inch) in depth. Galling on one thread helix (circumferential) allowed. If necessary polishing off one
complete thread helix allowed. Raised material must be removed.

2. Additional Requirements for BHGE-XT2-OS, BHGE-XT2 and BHGE-XT3 Pin Connection (Figure
7+Figure 30)
Pin Base Diameter: Pitting or other imperfections which not exceed 0,1 mm (0.004 inch) in diameter
and depth accepted without polishing. Maximum 5 additional pits or other imperfections allowed but
shall be ground out using a ball shaped head milling tool. Maximum grinding shall not exceed 3 mm
(0.118 inch) in depth and 10 mm (0.394 inch) in diameter.
Pin Base Radius: Pitting or other imperfections which not exceed 0,5 mm (0.02 inch) in diameter and
depth allowed, with or without polishing.

3. Additional Requirements for BHGE-T2 mod. Connection

Thread flanks: Defective or removed copper coating of no more than 50,8 mm (2 inch) in length
cumulative along the entire thread length is acceptable.

BHGE-T2 Thread Inspection and Rework Procedure – all Sizes

2. Removal of the copper coating on the entire thread increases

the friction factor during connection make up to an unacceptable level
which could cause damage (twisting) of the tools.
3. It is recommended to apply new copper coating (MPM 302)
for all 6.75” and larger tools to reduce friction and avoid imperfections
like galling. Shot peening per MPM219 should applied, if no new
copper coating is applied.
The copper coating must be intact/renewed for tool sizes smaller than
6.75”.

Geometrical Inspection
Used connection geometrical inspection:
Deformation / Wear of thread profile
Use the applicable thread profile gage to check the profile for deformation and / or wear. Place the
profile gage at 2 inch distance away from the first thread lead. Repeat the check at least 3 times around
the circumference.
The profile gage shall mesh with the thread load and stab flanks so that no light is visible at any of the
thread flanks or roots. Uniform flank wear estimated to be less than 0,1 mm (0.004 inch) is permissible.
However, any visible gaps at the thread flanks require Pin lead measurement (or Box belling as
described below). Measure the Pin thread over a 2 lead interval beginning at the first full-depth thread
nearest the shoulder. Pin stretch shall not exceed 0,15 mm (0.006 inch) over the 2 inch length.
Cold worked (CW) Pin connections may show an acceptable light
Note gap at the thread root in the range of 0,05 mm - 0,12 mm (0.002 -
0.004inch)

Deformation of thread shoulder

Use a straight edge to check the thread shoulder for plastic deformation. Repeat the check at least 3
times around the circumference.
Any visible gap more than 0,05 mm (0.002 inch) shall be cause for rejection. Use a feeler gage to
check the gap.
Box Belling (Swelling)
Use the applicable (flat) cone gage from Table 8 (Gages) and push it into the connection. Align the
gage to the center line of the body. Jiggle (shake) the gage to check for a possible gap between gage
and connection.
Any gap between connection and gage shall be measured using a feeler gage. Any gap greater than
0,3 mm (0.012 inch) shall be cause for rejection.
Alternative to the use of flat cone gages (which is the preferred inspection method!) box belling can be
checked with a straight edge. Place a straight edge along the longitudinal axis of the box tool joint. If a
visible light gap exists between the straightedge and the tool joint, the OD must be measured using
calipers. Compare the OD at the bevel to the OD 50 mm
(2 inch), +/- 12,5 mm (1/2 inch) away from the bevel.
If the OD at the bevel is greater by 0,8 mm (1/32 inch) or more, the connection shall be rejected.

Dimensional Inspection
4. Post Step 1 Rework Dimensional Inspection
Inspect reworked areas to comply with the given maximum rework dimensions given in this procedure.
In doubt the use of a mold could help to "measure" the size of reworked areas.
Use the applicable thread drawing from Table 1, the applicable tool drawing or the given rework
dimensions in this procedure for reference.

5. Post Step 2 Dimensional Inspection

Inspect reworked areas to comply with the given maximum rework dimensions, the applicable thread
drawing from Table 1 or the applicable tool drawing.

6. Post Step 3 Dimensional Inspection

Inspect reworked areas to comply with the applicable thread drawing from Table 1 or the applicable tool
drawing.

Non Destructive Testing (NDT)

Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) per QP100-001 and Liquid Particle Testing (PT) per
QP100-003 must be used.
If a relevant indication is detected, the connection has to be labeled following the Inspection Status /
Color Coding on Page 3 and dispositioned according to the applicable rework step (1, 2, 3) of this
procedure, the individual tool Repair Procedure and/or respective Locations Material Review Board.
Perform PT inspection prior to the shot peen and cold working processes as these
processes could close small surface imperfections.
4. When using the PT inspection method, special care must be taken to
fully apply the developer to the thread root of the box connection.

Areas to be inspected with MT or PT are marked with a dashed line ( _ _ _ ). See Figure 19 below for
reference.
The Box OD marked with an additional dashed / dotted line ( _ . _ . _ ) should be MT or PT inspected if
possible. However due to tong marks it could be difficult to evaluate the inspection. In this case a good
visual inspection may be used as an alternative.

Inspection Documentation
All inspection (Incoming, Geometrical, Dimensional and NDT) have to be documented using the
applicable Inspection Reports QP900-001 and QP900-007.

BHGE-T2 thread rework

All reworked connections need a post rework inspection containing of:
Visual Connection Inspection
Dimensional Inspection
Non Destructive Testing (NDT)
Post rework NDT only needs to be done, if the rework was triggered by crack indication or imperfection
in thread root radius during the incoming NDT inspection. BHGE-T2 thread rework can be classified in
3 general steps:

7. Step 1 Rework
Local spot repair (grinding)
Single areas can be repaired by grinding. Follow the inspection limits of section Visual Connection
Inspection and Acceptance Criteria on Page 19 and spot repair instruction of section Pitting Repair Of
Thread Root on Page 46 , Pitting Repair Of Thread Profile (Step 1 Rework) All Types / All Sizes on
Page 47 and the following.

8. Step 2 Rework
Thread rework without re-facing of Pin / Box shoulder (for slight damages).

Note Step 1 rework can be applied in addition!

A standard T2 thread can be re-cut without re-facing the Pin / Box shoulders in order to use the full
allowed rework stand -in / stand -off values (Z) of the threads, which are described in the section
"Rework Limits" on Page 27 and following.
The stand –in / stand –off values for used threads are higher than for new manufactured threads in
order to avoid disassembly of the M30 modular connection for a minor thread rework.
Shoulder damage can be reworked within the rework stand-in / stand-out values (Z) of the threads from
Page 27 and following. However this practically applies only to reworked threads with reduced stand-off
on pin connections or increased stand-in on box connection.
Stand-off on box connections and stand-off above the maximum
Note limits on pin connection is not acceptable!

5. Thread gaging (stand-off / stand-in measurement) on used connections

requires special attention to avoid false readings and damages to the thread and
thread gage. Thus, prior to the gaging the thread profile must be 100% checked for
cleanliness and deformation, preferably the profile should be chased (Step 3
Rework).

9. Step 3 Rework
Complete thread re-cut with re-facing of Pin / Box shoulder
Always use the applicable BHGE-T2 thread drawings from Table 1 on Page 14 or the applicable tool
drawing with the given "standard" stand-in / stand-off values!

General Rework Remarks

The given Rework Limits are exemptions, all other dimensions must
be taken from the related standard BHGE-T2 thread drawing from
Note Table 1 the related thread profile drawing from Table 2, the
applicable tool related drawing or the applicable tool related
inspection manuals.

Use only the applicable BHGE-T2 threading inserts for the thread recut per step 2 or step 3 rework. Do
not use any "self made" threading inserts! The BHGE-T2 threading inserts can be purchased via SAP
order. Please contact the Celle Technology Center Client Services Group for assistance.
When reworking the 8-1/4" and 9-1/2" BHGE-T2 (all types) it is absolutely necessary to have the
applicable cone ring and plug gages available for stand-off / stand-in adjustment. This is because the
threading inserts for these sizes are of the "non full profile type" and thus will not cut the crest (taper) of
the profile.
All reworked Pin threads either re-cut without re-facing of the shoulder or complete thread re-cut require
a post Cold Working process per MPM 209.
All reworked Pin threads made from SSxx or NIxx material, either re-cut without re-facing of the
shoulder or complete thread re-cut, require shot peen per MPM 219.
All reworked Pin and Box threads either re-cut without re-facing of the shoulder or complete thread re-
cut require a Blunt Start per MPM 215 or 216.
Refer to the applicable tool related manufacturing drawings for further requirements (i.e. additional
features like Pressure Plugs, shot peen, cold working, copper coating, etc.)!
All connections need to be deburred and cleaned after rework. Special care must be taken to the
feedthru bore and gun bores.
Stand-off values given in the thread drawings from Table 1, or the rework stand-off values (Z) from
Page 27 and following are to be considered as the value measured before any cold working and shot-
peen operation.

Pitting repair
Pitting can be ground out following the rework limits given in "Visual Connection Inspection and
Acceptance Criteria" of this procedure.
All repaired areas on the pin should be shot peened per MPM 219 if applicable.

1. Pitting Repair Of Thread Root (Step 1 Rework) All Types / All Sizes
With increasing depth of the local rework it becomes important to smooth the groove in circumferential
direction (tangential to the thread, see Figure 33 / Figure 34). For the different thread size use the specified
ball shaped head milling tool from Visual Connection Inspection and Acceptance Criteria.It is not sufficient
enough to only round the edge. Ideally the profile of the milling tool should be drawn completely through
tangentially, however a large radius most likely is more practical and thus regarded to be ok, too. To further
increase fatigue resistance and compensate for residual stresses shot peen per MPM 219 for the reworked
area/groove is strictly recommended.
