TOUGHTORQ™ COUPLINGS

ToughTorq™ Couplings
The ToughTorq™ high strength couplings are designed to work with ToughTorq™ PL5 Spin-Through Cou-
plings and high torque PC Pump applications. This coupling has been specially designed for use with
high torque rod applications such as Weatherford® T66/XD and HD sucker rods and Alberta Oil Tool Drive
Rods®††. ToughTorq™ high strength couplings are interchangeable with Tenaris® UHS, Weatherford®
Hi-T™ and Alberta Oil Tool® high strength couplings.

ToughTorq™ high strength coupling threads are cold formed, which reshape the steel fibres to follow the
thread profile. This process improves resistance to corrosion and abrasion, leaving a hardened thread flank
and residual compressive stress in the thread root. This increases fatigue resistance in all forms of loading
(tension and torsion). Traditional thread cutting and burnishing do not provide the benefits of cold-forming.

Features
• Designed for high strength applications
• Cold-formed, fully rolled threads to maximize strength and fatigue resistance
• Formed (cold rolled) box threads, not cut, conforming to API 11B
• Anti-corrosion coating for shipping and storage
• Maximum face contact area increases connection strength

Notes:
1) ToughTorq™ HS couplings are manufactured from
high quality heat-treated, stress-relieved 4140 Cr-Mo
steel with 115 ksi (758 MPa) minimum yield strength.
Each coupling is stamped ‘HS’ for easy identification.
2) To maximize fatigue life, Plainsman recommends
using a 0.8 service factor.
3) Contact faces on the pin and coupling must be clean
& dry before makeup.

 SUCKER ROD COUPLINGS
Coatings
Plainsman provides one* coating option to prolong the life of the coupling.

CODE NAME DETAILS

For combating abrasion between coupling and tubing. Recommended when the tubing has
not been hardened. A soft urethane (95A durometer) is bonded to the outside of the coupling,
CT2 SoftCoatTM
preventing abrasive particles, like sand, from wearing the interface between the tubing and
coupling.
* Other coatings may be available upon request: contact Plainsman.
