Subject: TC-II designations - Revision 4

Atlas Bradford's new threaded and coupled premium connection for casing and tubing, TC-II, was originally designed in 1992. Since then several versions of TC-II have been developed to meet the requirements of specific customers and applications. The various versions of TC-II are specified by the following designations:

TC-II Standard product without the optional seal ring. This is the product used by most customers for most applications.
TC-II/A Product with special features and inspection requirements as specified by Mobil without the optional seal ring.
TC-II/B Product with special features and inspection requirements as required by Shell without the optional seal ring.
-SR Suffix denotes the addition of the optional seal ring. This may be applied to any TC-II product, TC-II-SR, TC-II/A-SR, etc.
-SC Suffix denotes special clearance coupling. This may be applied to any TC-II product, TC-II-SC, TC-II/A-SR-SC, etc.

All of the above products are functionally interchangeable, i.e. - they will make up together. There may be a slight mismatch of the pin and coupling bored ID for some sizes between the standard product and the /A and /B versions. All products are not acceptable by all customers due to inspection requirements.

-HW Suffix designated a product designed for heavy wall pipe without the optional seal ring. TC-II-HW designs are unique for each pipe size and weight. They are not interchangeable.
-HFR[number] A special product designed for riser applications, high fatigue resistant, without the optional seal ring. Riser connections are usually site specific designs. Various designs will be designated with sequential numbers, TC-II-HFR1, TC-II/B-HFR2, etc. TC-II-HFR designs are unique for each pipe size and weight. They are not interchangeable.
