FREE CROSSOVER GENERATOR EXCEL SPREADSHEET

FOR OILFIELD USE


You may have a problem regarding ordering the cross over to use on the rig because there
are so many threads used for the operation. For example if you have just only three threads
(3-1/2" IF, 4-1/2" IF, 7" BTC) for the operation. These are a total of 18 the possible
crossovers that you may need as listed below.
3-1/2 IF PIN X 7 BTC BOX
4-1/2 IF PIN X 3-1/2 IF BOX
4-1/2 IF PIN X 7 BTC BOX
7 BTC PIN X 3-1/2 IF BOX
7 BTC PIN X 4-1/2 IF BOX
3-1/2 IF PIN X 3-1/2 IF PIN
3-1/2 IF PIN X 4-1/2 IF PIN
3-1/2 IF PIN X 7 BTC PIN
4-1/2 IF PIN X 4-1/2 IF PIN
4-1/2 IF PIN X 7 BTC PIN
7 BTC PIN X 7 BTC PIN
3-1/2 IF BOX X 3-1/2 IF BOX
3-1/2 IF BOX X 4-1/2 IF BOX
3-1/2 IF BOX X 7 BTC BOX
4-1/2 IF BOX X 4-1/2 IF BOX
4-1/2 IF BOX X 7 BTC BOX
7 BTC BOX X 7 BTC BOX
You will get lost easily, won't you??

As you can see, it is quite tricky to determine all possible required cross over especially
when you have a lot of connections. Therefore we create an Excel file to help you do this
task. We call this file as "CrossOver Generator".

What will this file help you?


It will help you generate all possible x-overs then you can identify which one you need or
not. It will greatly reduce failure if you forget something.
Then you open the file using Microsoft Excel. You will see the screen link this.

The cross-overs which are generated by this macro consist of three main types which are
Box - Pin, Pin - Pin and Box - Box (Figure 8).

From the example above, you will get a total of 72 types of x-over.
Finally, you can select which one you need for operation from the list created by this file.
We wish this file would help you to figure out the possible cross over needed for your
operation.
