VAM FJL® (Flush Joint Liner) is a 100% inside and
outside flush integral connection providing maximum clearance with optimum
strength for liners, moderate depth casing, and tight-hole tubing strings.
| BENEFITS |
- Excellent gas tightness
- Maximum clearance (100% flush)
- Easy to use and repair |
Integral
Flush Design
-
VAM FJL is an integral connection threaded on plain-end pipe with the OD of the
connection totally flush with the pipe body.
-
Sizes range from 2 3/8" to 11 7/8" for such clearance applications as tubing in
small sizes, drilling liners and tiebacks in medium sizes, and contingency
liner in larger casing diameters.
External
Torque Shoulder
-
A patented reverse angle external torque shoulder provides a positive torque
stop and energizes the external metal-to-metal seal.
-
This shoulder also permits visual confirmation of power-tight make-up.
Multiple
Seal System
-
An external seal and an internal seal work independently of each other to
achieve sealing against annulus and well bore pressures.
-
This multiple seal arrangement ensures gas-tight sealing integrity to 100% of
the rated burst and collapse of the pipe body.
Interference
Tapered Thread
-
In order to provide optimum strength, the VAM FJL is designed for 65% to 70%
efficiency under tension in medium wall thickness.
-
Thread load flank has a 15° reverse angle to resist jump out.
-
Thread stabbing flank has a 45° angle for fast, trouble-free make-up.
-
The design of VAM FJL exhibits an exceptional bending resistance for a
connection of this class.
Streamlined
Internal and External Profile
-
The O.D. and I.D. are 100% flush (there is no upset).
-
The I.D. is bored and recess-free for smooth, efficient flow.
-
The O.D. is turned to tight tolerances.
-
VAM FJL can be repaired by VAM licensed workshops. Only slight pin end swaging
is needed for machining threads.
