XLCS™

The XLCS Connection is based on the proven XLF design. Primary applications are tubular strings that require increased fatigue life, including conductors and tie- backs in extreme environments, free- standing caissons and compliant structures. This integral connection is internal/ external flush, utilizing wedge threads technology and dovetail thread flanks, which effectively locks the connection together. XLCS is rated at 100% pipe body in collapse pressure. The XLCS Fatigue Life Prediction Model was developed from full- scale fatigue testing, as well as FEA Analysis.

  • Fatigue Qualified and tested
  • Integral Box X Pin
  • I. D./ O. D. Flush Connection
  • External metal to metal (seawater exclusion)
