Make-up torque valves of buttress thread casing connections sizes 9.5/8in to 13.3/8in OD shall be determined by carefully noting the torque required to
make up each of several connections to the base of the triangle. Provided the position falls within
- 0.2in and + 0.375in of the base, the power tight make-up is acceptable. The average torque value established shall be used to make up the balance of
the pipe of that particular weight and grade in the string.
Make-up of 16in, 18.5/8in and 20in OD shall be to a position on each connection represented by the thread vanish point on 8-round thread and the base
of the triangle on buttress thread using the minimum torque shown in the following table as a guide. Provided the position falls within - 0.2in and +
0.375in of the base, the power tight make-up is acceptable. Care must be taken to avoid cross threading in starting these larger connections. The tongs
selected shall be capable of attaining high torque for the entire run. It can be anticipated that maximum make-up and break out torque values may be 50-
80 % higher than the minimum experienced in make-up to the recommended position.
Make-up torque values are based on API modified thread lubricant with friction correction factor = 1.
All connections are of regular coupling/upset type unless otherwise specified
