Test sample: two TMK-C alloy short pipes 88.9 х 6.45 mm in size coupled with «TMK UP PF» Premium connection

Test conditions:

- Test solution inside the sample: 5% NaCl + 0.5% CH₃COOH

- H2S pressure: 1.47 MPa

- СО2 pressure: 1.47 MPa

- Test pressure inside the sample: 73.5 MPa

- Sample bending corresponds to 13.1° per 10 m

- Sample tensile load: 1 076 kN

- Test temperature: +110° С

- Test duration: 720 hours

Successful result: No leakage of liquid and gas, no lubricant extrusion from threaded connections of sample, no pressure drop in sample were observed during the 720 hours test under combined load of internal pressure of test solution saturated with H₂S and CO₂, axial tension and bending at temperature of + 110° C. During visual inspection of disassembled connections no gallings and defects on thread surface and on sealing elements were detected, which could lead to connection tightness loss under actual operating conditions.

Test sample: two TMK-C alloy short pipes 88.9 х 6.45 mm in size coupled with «TMK UP PF» Premium connection

Test conditions:

- Nitrogen pressure inside the sample: 76 MPa

- Sample bending corresponds to 13.1° per 10 m

- Minimum water temperature in bath: 20° С - 25° С

- Maximum water temperature in bath: 90° С - 95° С

- Number of temperature change cycles from minimum to maximum and vice versa: 100

- Test duration: 720 hours

Successful result: No nitrogen leakage, no lubricant extrusion from threaded connections of sample, no pressure drop in sample were observed during the 720 hours temperature cycle test under combined load of internal pressure and bending with hundred times temperature change. During visual inspection of disassembled connections no gallings and defects on thread surface and on sealing elements were detected, which could lead to connection tightness loss under actual operating conditions.
