Torsional Strength, Tensile Strength, and

Make-up Torque Values for Tool Joints

he charts that follow provide the torsional strength (lb), and recommended make-up torque (ft-

T strength, tensile strength, and recommended

make-up torque for tool joints. The data within
this section shall apply to Drill Pipe, Heavy Weight
lb) are listed in the chart for each combination of tool
joint geometries.

Drill Pipe, and Pup Joints (excluding sour service
grade tool joints of yield strength less than 120ksi).
Locate the appropriate chart for the tool joint of inter-
est. Select the desired tool joint OD at the top of the
chart and the desired tool joint ID from the left-hand
side of the chart. The torsional strength (ft-lb), tensile
The values in the tables were calculated per API
RP7G, 16th Edition, December 1, 1998. Torsional val-
ues for double-shouldered connections (HT, XT and
GPDS) were calculated per a modified form of the
equation in paragraph A.8.3. Make-up torque values
are based on the lower of 60% of the tool joint torsional
yield strength or the calculated T3 value.

These tables are for reference only.
