    摘要: Apparatus and related method for coupling adjacent pipe lengths, for example, a drop pipe assembly that utilize an intermediate coupling member to prevent rotational disengagement of adjacent pipe lengths under the influence of rotational torque. The coupling member can comprise an internal key feature that physically engages a keyed end on at least one end of a length of pipe. The internal key feature can include key members located on each coupling end of the coupling member such that the key members engage corresponding keyed ends of adjacent lengths of pipe such that the coupling member prevents rotation of the adjacent pipe length relative to each other.

    摘要: A connection includes a first tubular member having a first screw threadform defined by a first plurality of crests, roots, and flanks, where each flank separates each crest from each root. The connection also includes a second tubular member having a second screw threadform defined by a second plurality of crests, roots, and flanks, where each flank separates each crest from each root. The crests and roots are substantially axial to the tubular members and the flanks are substantially radial to the tubular members. The first tubular member and the second tubular member are configured to connect when the first threadform engages with the second threadform. Thread compound relief spaces are formed between the first plurality of crests and the second plurality of roots when the first and second tubular members connect.

    摘要: In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, a system and method for rotationally orienting two wellbore tool components on a tool string relative to each other is provided. The system may include an alignment sub that is simple to operate and allows for quick adjustments to the relative orientations of downhole tool components. The disclosed alignment sub may include a first tubular component on one side and a second tubular component on the other side, and these tubular components are coupled together. The disclosed alignment sub utilizes an axially deformable and variable length sleeve attached to the first tubular component and adjacent to a tip of the second tubular component. The sleeve may provide an appropriate standoff distance between the opposing tubular components while enabling the components to be rotated relative to each other up to at least one full rotation about an axis of the alignment sub.

    摘要: An apparatus for connecting an ionisation probe assembly to a mass and/or ion mobility spectrometer is disclosed. The apparatus comprises: an attachment member for releasably attaching a probe assembly to the apparatus; a cap for enclosing the attachment member; wherein the apparatus is operable to deliver a voltage to a probe assembly only when the cap is arranged to enclose the attachment member; and wherein the cap is configurable to enclose the attachment member when a probe assembly is attached to the apparatus.

    摘要: A method and system certifies a joint between a first threaded element having a first shoulder and a second threaded element having a second shoulder and the equipment used to tighten the connection. The method tightens to a first position at which the first shoulder abuts the second shoulder. Marks are made that are aligned across the first element and the second element corresponding to the first position. The connection is loosened and then tightened to a second position complying with a predetermined tightening specification. The distance beyond the marks for the first position is measured to verify that it is within acceptable tolerances. If acceptable the connection and/or the tightening equipment can be certified.
