Note 1: 3-1/2", 15.50#, S135 drill pipe with NC38 connections is not covered in API Spec 5DP for new manufacturing due to the difficulty in meeting typical TSR requirements. API RP 7G-2 for inspection does have this
combination, so those Premium and Class 2 values are given here. However, this pipe configuration is often manufactured with slim tool joints which may require the use of Premium Class - Reduced TSR criteria provided in
Table 7.29.

1 Premium Class Min OD is the Grant Prideco minimum acceptable box OD for the connection or the box OD which generates a 0.8 TSR between the connection and the Premium Class tube,
whichever is greater. The values in the table are based on one tool joint reference ID. For other IDs, the value may vary. The TJ ID is a reference as it impacts other criteria. IDs are produced in
increments of 1/16 inch for this connection and the Grant Prideco online performance calculator shall be used to determine premium OD, and operational capacity of the connection shall the
actual ID differ from this one by more than 1/16 inch.
2 Tong space excludes hardbanding.
3 When conflicts arise between this standard and manufacturer's requirements, the manufacturer's requirements shall apply.
4 If the actual box OD is less than or equal to the specified bevel diameter plus 3/64 inch, then the bevel diameter range is void and a 1/32" x 45° break edge is required.
5 For HT26, bevel diameter varies with tool joint OD.
For OD = 3.375" or 3.438", bevel = 3.453" (max), 3.296" (min).
For OD = 3.5", bevel = 3.547" (max), 3.390" (min).
For OD = 3.625" or 3.565", bevel = 3.672" (max), 3.515" (min).

1. HL105AS and HL135AS are Hilong proprietary grade for Antarctic Service drill pipe. HL95SS, HL105SS and HL120S are Hilong proprietary grade for sour service drill pipe.
2. The maximum ID of Premium Class for most RSC types are based on the pin nose, pipe ID and torsional capacity (TSR not less than 0.8).
3. The minimum OD of Premium Class is based on ID max ,and torsional capacity (TSR not less than 0.8). If the tool joint ID is smaller than ID max, the OD of Premium Class can be even smaller
than stated above.
4. The minimium tong space exclude hardbanding which is from seal shoulder to the edge of hardbanding.
5. If the actual box OD is less than or equal to the specified bevel diameter plus 3/32 inch, then the bevel diameter range is void and a 1/32" x 45° break edge is required.
6. When conflicts arise between this standard and manufacturer's requirements, the manufacturer's requirements shall apply.

2 Premium Min OD is the CET minimum acceptable box OD for the connection or the box OD which generates a 0.8 TSR between the connection and premium class pipe, whichever is greater.
3 Premium Min OD and Max Pin ID of some connection might be different from this chart if manufactured to a non-standard OD/ID, check CTP drill pipe data sheet or consult CTP.

Table 7.29 Used Tool Joint Acceptance Criteria for Reduced Torsional Strength Ratio
(Premium Class-Reduced TSR)
Note: The industry has for many years been using certain drill pipe and tool joint combinations that do not meet the
torsional strength ratio (TSR)* of approximately 0.8 that is recommended for API RP7G-2 and DS-1 Premium Class con-
dition. For low-torsion drilling, this practice offers the advantage being able to use pipe with adequate tensile capacity
while maintaining good fishing clearances. Unless operating torsion exceeds make-up torque on these connections,
there is no technical reason to prohibit the practice, although users should be aware that such pipe cannot properly
be called API RP7G-2 or DS-1 “Premium Class.”
--`,,,,`,`,,```,``,,,``````,,,`,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
To recognize this long-standing practice for certain drill pipe and tool joint combinations, the category “Premium
Class-Reduced TSR” is designated by this supplement. If the buyer of inspection services specifies “Premium Class-
Reduced TSR” as the acceptance criteria in effect, the inspection company shall apply all criteria for “Premium Class”
found elsewhere in this standard, except for tool joint diameters. The tool joint diameters specified below shall replace
those applicable to “Premium Class.” Users are cautioned that, while a “Premium Class-Reduced TSR” drill string may
be adequate for low-torsion drilling, it is not as strong in torsion as a true “Premium Class” drill string as defined in API
RP7G-2 and DS-1.

NOTES:
1 Minimum box OD is determined by adding 3/64 inch to the maximum bevel diameter, which allows for the minimum 1/32-inch wide, 45 degree bevel.
2 Maximum pin ID is limited such that the connection is box weak in torsion and the thick-walleddrill pipe assembly is tube weak in tension.*
*Maximum pin ID values in bold text (equal to the nominal pin ID) indicate that the nominal pin neck tensile capacities at the specified connection makeup torques (for minimum OD and
maximum ID connections) are less than the tensile capacities of the drill pipe tubes with the specified grade and remaining wall thickness. In such case, the tensile capacity of the thick-walleddrill
pipe assembly must be based on the pin neck tensile capacity and not the tube tensile capacity.
3 Minimum shoulder width is determined by subtracting 1/32 inch from half of the difference between the minimum box OD and the maximum allowable counterbore diameter per API Specification
7-2, Latest Edition.
4 Minimum bevel diameter is determined from the seal area that gives a connection seal stress equal to 90% MYS (108 ksi) at nominal API MUT.
5 Minimum pin tong space is 4 inches or 75% of the minimum OD, whichever is larger. The minimum box tong space is determined by adding 1 inch to the length of the box.
6 Maximum counterbore diameter is determined by adding 1/32 inch to the nominal counterbore diameter (in addition to the machining tolerance).

7 Maximum bevel diameter is determined from the maximum seal area that gives a connection seal stress equal to 75% MYS (90 ksi) at nominal API MUT.
8 Existing bevel diameters on thick-walled drill pipe (TWDP) connections are known to be cut in accordance with API Specification 5DP requirements for the corresponding normal weight drill pipe
(NWDP) connections. For a given connection type, a TWDP tool joint will often have a larger OD and/or smaller ID than the corresponding NWDP tool joint. Therefore, the API MUT is higher for
most TWDP connections and the seal widths should be modified to prevent seal stresses in excess of the connection's yield strength, which could cause seal damage. The acceptance criteria in
this table has been set to ensure that the seal stress will not exceed the connection yield strength at API MUT. Because TWDP connection bevel diameters are currently based on API requirements
for NWDP connections, existing TWDP connections may not be in compliance with the dimensional criteria in this table.

NOTES: Acceptable Outside Diameter Range 8
1. On BHA components (other than bit boxes) with smaller ODs than listed, break corner 1/32" X 45° or use smallest bevel diameter shown, whichever is smaller. The largest bevel diameter
ID is the largest bevel diameter recommended for that connection. Depending on the mating component's

of the seal may occur from makeup alone, which may require seal refacing. Greater Range 2 Other Dimensions 6
2. It was found that connections employing bevel diameter ranges from DS-1 First and Second Editions may experience seal stresses exceeding yield. This can occur in certain cases when
tools with small pin ODs and IDs are mated with tools having large box ODs and are tightened to API makeup torque. To remedy this problem, bevel diameter ranges were calculated
to ensure that seal stress always falls between 40 and 100 percent of minimum yield stress at API makeup torque. The formulas and methodology for calculating these bevel diameters
are given in DS-1 Volume 3.
3. The acceptance criteria here are based on the need for a "low torque" face on connections with larger diameters than those shown. For BSRs, see Table 7.50 of this volume.
4. The acceptance criteria here are based on the need for a "full face" on connections with smaller diameters than those shown. For BSRs, see Table 7.50 of this volume.
5. This connection cannot meet the listed BSR with "full face" dimensions.
6. The pin stress relief groove width range in this table is based on the results of finite element analysis (FEA) and fatigue analysis performed by T H Hill Associates. See DS-1 Fifth Edition,
Volume 2 for more information on this analysis. If boreback cylinder diameter is the same as the ID of the component, then maximum boreback cylinder length requirement does not
apply.
7. Bevel diameter has been modified in order to avoid a conflict with the acceptance criteria in Clause 6.2, API Specification 7-2, First Edition, Addendum 1. Connections may experience
a seal stress less than 40 percent of minimum yield stress when tools with large pin IDs are mated with tools having small box ODs and tightened to API makeup torque. Connection
may also experience seal stresses exceeding yield in certain cases when tools with small pin ODs and IDs are mated with tools having large box ODs and are tightened to API makeup
torque.
8. The specified BSR (Bending Strength Ratio) range determines the acceptable minimum and maximum outside diameters for BHA components. The three BSR ranges (and their
corresponding diameters) are: Drill Collar OD Recommended BSR Range
< 6 inches 1.8 - 2.5
6 - < 8 inches 2.25 - 2.75
≥ 8 inches 2.5 - 3.2
These ranges are based on the Recommended BSR Ranges and design constraints that have been provided in DS-1 Fifth Edition, Volume 3. They are given here for the inspector's
--`,,,,`,`,,```,``,,,``````,,,`,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
convenience in the event that they apply to the inspection being conducted. If a BSR range other than one of these is specified, the inspector must refer to Table 7.50 of this volume
to determine minimum and maximum acceptable outside diameters. If no BSR range is specified, the inspector should check with the person ordering the inspection to determine the
BSR range he or she desires. The compliance of acceptable Drill Collar OD ranges with the design constraints has been explained in the following example:
The Outside Diameter Range has been calculated for recommended BSR ranges based on the formulas and methodology provided in DS-1 Fifth Edition, Volume 3.
Calculated Outside Diameter Range (Volume 3) The recommended BSR range of 1.8 - 2.5 is based on Design Constraint that Drill Collar
OD < 6". Therefore maximum acceptable OD is restricted to 5 63/64".
BSR 1.8 - 2.5 BSR 2.25 - 2.75 BSR 2.5 - 3.2

Notes:
1 Values shown are based on concentric wear. In case of eccentric wear, ensure the minimum bevel width is 1/32 inch.
2 Maximum pin ID is determined from the larger of 1) 1/8 inch increase over assumed new standard ID; or 2) the maximum diameter at which a connection with the indicated minimum box OD would be box weak.
3 The pin stress relief groove width range in this table is based on the results of finite element analysis (FEA) and fatigue analysis performed by T H Hill Associates. See DS-1 Fifth Edition, Volume 2 for more information on
this analysis.
4 The maximum bevel diameter requirements are based on the bevel diameter of tool joint connections for normal weight drill pipe in API Specification 5DP (First Edition). The minimum seal widths are calculated to ensure
the seal stress falls below 100 percent of minimum specified yield stress. The minimum box OD is determined by adding 1/16 inch to the maximum bevel diameter, which allows for the minimum 1/32-inch wide 45 degree
bevel. The method for determining the maximum pin ID is given in Note 2.
5 Seal width has been modified in order to avoid a conflict with the bevel diameter acceptance criteria of tool joint connections for normal weight drill pipe in API Specification 5DP (First Edition). The connection when
tightened to API recommended make-up torque, may experience seal stresses exceeding yield in certain cases.

Table 7.49 Float Bore Calculation

(for cases not covered in Table 7.48)
To determine Float Bore Depth (A): Where:
1) Measure Float Bore Diameter (R) R = Bore Diameter
2) Obtain Valve Size and Valve Length (LV) corresponding to (R) from LV = Valve Length
Table 7.48 and the Max Pin Length (LP) for the Sub’s connection LP = Max Pin Length (Table 7.37)
from Table 7.37.
3/16" = Margin for proper Pin and Valve separation
3) Float Bore Depth
A = Bore Depth
Box Down: (A) ± 1/16" = LV + LP + 3/16"
Box Up: (A) ± 1/16" = LV + LP + 3/16" + minimum length needed to have all seals seated within the float bore1
1 See DS-1 Volume 3, Section A.6 in the Appendix for more information on calculating float bore depth for box up configurations.

The current API Nomenclature was adopted in 1968. The difference between the current API connections and their obsolete
counterparts is that the NC connections require the use of an improved thread form (V-038R) while this thread form is optional
