HD-L Flush Joint Connection

Service Recommendation
• The ST-L and HD-L connections incorporate a hooked
threaded design. This provides maximum structural
dependability for a flush OD connection. Both ST-L and
HD-L connections have metal-to-metal internal and exter-
nal pressure seals (sizes less than 14” only). This pro-
vides maximum pressure integrity and seal dependability.
The Atlas Bradford ST-L and HD-L connections are,
therefore, both recommended for drilling and production
applications where maximum clearance is required. HD-L
connections has a higher compression rating than ST-L
connections and should be used when severe compres-
sion or bending load resistance is required.

Tapered Non-Interference Thread
• Tensile efficiency maximized.

Hooked Premium Thread Form

• 25° stab and compression load flank stabs easily, pro-
vides resistance to compressive loads.
• Negative load flank, -13o (for most diameters), pre-
vents the possibility of thread jump-out and insures
predictable tensile performance.
• Precision axial tolerances allow the thread body to
support compressive as well as tensile loads.
• Thread height, 0.050” for most popular sizes, is the
tallest in the industry for a true flush connection.

Large Diameter Sizes Swaged and Bored ID

• 14”-20” sizes available. • Stress relieved after swaging

HD-L Connection Data Table Notes:

1. HD-L connection pressure ratings are equal to the API pipe body rating for minimum internal yield and collapse.
2. For application with bending both tensile and compressive joint strength must be evaluated. Contact Grant Prideco for application information.
Bending efficiency is equal to the lower of the tensile or compressive efficiency.
3. Joint efficiency is calculated by dividing the connection critical area by the pipe body area.
4. HD-L connection tensile joint strength is calculated by multiplying the critical area times the material yield strength.
5. HD-L connection compressive joint strength is equal to the tensile joint strength.

6. HD-L connection reference minimum parting load is the ultimate strength or parting load of the connection. These values are offered for reference
only. The connection should never be subjected to loads in excess of the joint strength. Tubular designs should incorporate an appropriate design
factor.
7. Reference string length is calculated by dividing the joint strength by both the plain end weight in air and a 1.4 design factor. These values are given
for reference only and do not include other load factors such as bending, buoyancy, temperature, load dynamics, combined loads, etc.
8. HD-L connection designs are optimized for each size and weight and are, therefore, not interchangeable.
9. High Collapse-95 is not an API grade. An ultimate tensile strength of 105,000 psi was used for calculations in this table. This value is typical of the
industry, but may vary from mill to mill.
10. Performance ratings are based on nominal pipe body dimensions.

HD-L Connection Data Table Notes:

1. HD-L connection pressure ratings are equal to the API pipe body rating for minimum internal yield and collapse.
2. For application with bending both tensile and compressive joint strength must be evaluated. Contact Grant Prideco for appli-
cation information Bending efficiency is equal to lower of the tensile and compressive efficiency.
3. Joint efficiency is calculated by dividing the connection critical area by the pipe body area.
4. HD-L connection tensile joint strength is calculated by multiplying the critical area times the material yield strength.
5. HD-L connection compressive joint strength is equal to the tensile joint strength.

6. HD-L connection reference minimum parting load is the ultimate strength or parting load of the connection. These values are
offered for reference only. The connection should never be subjected to loads in excess of the joint strength. Tubular designs
should incorporate an appropriate design factor.
7. Reference string length is calculated by dividing the joint strength by both the plain end weight in air and a 1.4 design factor.
These values are given for reference only and do not include other load factors such as bending, buoyancy, temperature, load
dynamics, combined loads, etc.
8. HD-L connection designs are optimized for each size and weight and are, therefore, not interchangeable.
9. High Collapse-95 is not an API grade. An ultimate tensile strength of 105,000 psi was used for calculations in this table.
This value is typical of the industry, but may vary from mill to mill.
10. Performance ratings are based on nominal pipe body dimensions.
