BH-T2 Thread Inspection and Rework Procedure – all Sizes
Purpose
Due to wear, corrosion and stress corrosion cracking, defects can occur on BH-T2 thread connections, which
can result in failure of the thread connection or in the modular connection.
This procedure is intended to standardize your work by means of the corresponding inspection and rework
instructions and reports.
Carry out the inspection strictly according to this instruction! The individual steps are shown briefly in this
document and have to be carried out in the given order!
After having completed the thread inspection, the BH-T2 Thread Inspection Report has to be filled out.
Scope
This procedure is applicable to Baker Hughes Company (BH) and all associated operating units.
It shall replace all BH-T2 inspection and rework drawings! It must be used for the inspection and rework of all
BH-T2 and BH-XT threads.

BH-T2
Most commonly used thread type on Baker Hughes INTEQ products. Usually combined with Modular (M30
bus technology) connection. This is the original thread design which can be fitted with the optional seal / blind
adapter (refer to BH-T2S (S = Sealed) on page 11).

1. Thread Shoulder without Modular Connection and without Axial Seal Ring Groove
BH-T2 timed
This is a special type of the BH-T2 thread where the thread is cut with a defined position in circumferential
direction, e.g. the thread is oriented.
The orientation is measured with a special (oriented) thread gage to a reference point (scribe line) on the tool.

Incorrect or missing deburring will cut the insolating rubber of the M30 ring
which can cause electrical shorts and tool malfunction! See Figure 50 to
Figure 53 for reference,
Thread shoulder: Surface imperfections that are estimated to cover not more than 50% of each individual radial
seal width allowed. Imperfections starting from the Axial Seal Groove or the M30 Ring groove are not allowed.
Minimum a shoulder height of 0.5mm (0.02 inch) must be without any imperfections (see Figure 1). Imperfections
on pin shoulder in the axial sealing area are prohibited. The location of this area for all sizes can be taken from
Table 4 (measuring the diameter) or Table 5 (measuring the radial distance).
Estimated imperfections shall not be deeper than 0,4mm (0,016inch) at any given location (see Figure 16).
Circumferential scratches which are not deeper than 0,2mm (0.008inch) allowed. Elevated spots must be
removed. Shoulder flatness shall be verified using a straight edge, no gaps greater than 0,05mm (0.002inch)
allowed.
Maximum allowed area of imperfections must not exceed 10% of overall shoulder area.
See Figure 54 for reference.

Pin Base Diameter: Pitting or other imperfections which not exceed 0,1 mm (0.004 inch) in diameter and depth
accepted without polishing. Maximum 5 additional pits or other imperfections allowed but shall be ground out
using a ball shaped head milling tool. Maximum grinding shall not exceed 3 mm (0.118 inch) in depth and 10 mm
(0.394 inch) in diameter.
Pin Base Radius: Pitting or other imperfections which not exceed 0,5 mm (0.02 inch) in diameter and depth
allowed, with or without polishing.

Geometrical Inspection
Used connection geometrical inspection:
Note Cold worked (CW) Pin connections may show an acceptable light gap at
the thread root in the range of 0,05 mm - 0,12 mm (0.002 - 0.004inch)
Deformation of thread shoulder
Use a straight edge to check the thread shoulder for plastic deformation. Repeat the check at least 3 times
around the circumference.
Any visible gap more than 0,05 mm (0.002 inch) shall be cause for rejection. Use a feeler gage to check the gap.

Inspection Documentation
All inspection (Incoming, Geometrical, Dimensional and NDT) have to be documented using the applicable
Inspection Reports QP900-001 and QP900-007.
7. Step 1 Rework
Local spot repair (grinding)
Single areas can be repaired by grinding. Follow the inspection limits of section Visual Connection Inspection
and Acceptance Criteria on Page 18 and spot repair instruction of section Pitting Repair Of Thread Root on
Page 45 , Pitting Repair Of Thread Profile (Step 1 Rework) All Types / All Sizes on Page 46 and the following.
8. Step 2 Rework
Thread rework without re-facing of Pin / Box shoulder (for slight damages).
Note Step 1 rework can be applied in addition!
A standard T2 thread can be re-cut without re-facing the Pin / Box shoulders in order to use the full allowed
rework stand -in / stand -off values (Z) of the threads, which are described in the section "Rework Limits" on
Page 26 and following.
The stand –in / stand –off values for used threads are higher than for new manufactured threads in order to
avoid disassembly of the M30 modular connection for a minor thread rework.
Shoulder damage can be reworked within the rework stand-in / stand-out values (Z) of the threads from Page
26 and following. However this practically applies only to reworked threads with reduced stand-off on pin
connections or increased stand-in on box connection.
Note Stand-off on box connections and stand-off above the maximum limits on
pin connection is not acceptable!
9. Step 3 Rework
Complete thread re-cut with re-facing of Pin / Box shoulder
Always use the applicable BH-T2 thread drawings from Table 1 on Page 14 or the applicable tool drawing
with the given "standard" stand-in / stand-off values!

Pitting repair
Pitting can be ground out following the rework limits given in "Visual Connection Inspection and
Acceptance Criteria" of this procedure.
All repaired areas on the pin should be shot peened per MPM 219 if applicable.
1. Pitting Repair Of Thread Root (Step 1 Rework) All Types / All Sizes
With increasing depth of the local rework it becomes important to smooth the groove in
circumferential direction (tangential to the thread, see Figure 33 / Figure 34). For the different
thread size use the specified ball shaped head milling tool from Visual Connection Inspection
and Acceptance Criteria.It is not sufficient enough to only round the edge. Ideally the profile of
the milling tool should be drawn completely through tangentially, however a large radius most
likely is more practical and thus regarded to be ok, too. To further increase fatigue resistance
and compensate for residual stresses shot peen per MPM 219 for the reworked area/groove is
strictly recommended.

4. Pitting Repair of Thread Run-Out on BH-T2 and BH-T2S Pin – All Sizes
As an ultimate alternative pits or other imperfections can be repaired on the BH-T2 and BH-T2S
PIN with a "Rework Groove" (see Figure 38 below). This repair offers a good "stress profile" when
reworked, but impaired for future thread rework. It should only be used if all other repair options
have failed to give acceptable results!
Please contact QA or Global Reliability and Product Support department of the Celle
Technology Center for further details.
