I. INTRODUCTION TO TORQUE TABLES

API Round Thread

API Buttress Thread
TESCO® MLT™ Rings

These Torque Tables and Recommended Practices provide

performance ratings and field practices for power tight
assembly of new API Round and Buttress threads. The
torque values in the tables for Round thread casing and
tubing without MLT™ rings are in accordance with API
Recommended Practice 5C1. The torque values in the tables
for TESCO MLT™ rings are in accordance with TESCO
recommended practices when used with new API tubing and
casing connections. Previously made-up threads, particularly
tubing, may demonstrate reduced torques due to permanent
deformation of pin and/or coupling.

Torque values and friction coef+cients are affected by a

large number of variables, such as variations in taper, lead,
thread height and thread forms, surface +nish, type of thread
compound, length of thread, coatings and weight and grade
of pipe. The torque values represented in the tables are for
API Modifed thread compound. Use of other compounds
may result in different torques.

The API Round thread torque values (referred to as shoulder

torques) included in the tables herein apply to connections
with zinc-plated or phosphate–coated couplings. For API
Round thread connections with other coupling coatings or
platings, couplings with the modi+ed feature (seal rings), or
using thread compounds other than API Modi+ed, the Round
thread (shoulder) torques in the tables herein should be
adjusted by multiplying torques by the following factors:

Factor
Tin plated couplings: 0.80
Couplings with PTFE (Te2on) rings 0.70

Note: All round thread re2ected in the text and following

tables are 8 threads per inch, commonly referred to as 8-
Round.

MLT™ Ring Field Make-Up Handbook

HOW TO USE THESE TABLES

Please refer to the recommended practices that accompany

these tables.

• API Round Thread (without MLTTM Rings).

For API Round thread connections the recommended
practice for power tight assembly includes using the API
speci+ed make-up torque as the primary criteria, and
position of the pin end in the coupling as the secondary
criteria for make-up.

Imperial Example: 7” 23# K-55 LTC

The torque for power tight make-up should fall
between the minimum and maximum torques of
2,560 ft-lbs and 4,260 ft-lbs, respectively (Optimum
= 3,410 ft-lbs)

Metric Example: 177.80mm 34.23 Kg/m K-55 LTC

The torque for power tight make-up should fall
between the minimum and maximum torques of
3,470 N·m and 5,780 N·m, respectively
(Optimum = 4,620 N·m)

• API Buttress Thread (without MLTTM Rings).

For API Buttress thread connections the recommended
practice for power tight assembly includes using the
position of the pin in the coupling as the primary criteria for
make-up, then using the observed torque for that position
as an aid to run the casing.

Imperial Example: 7” 23# K-55 BTC

The pin should be made up in the coupling until
the end of the coupling reaches the base of the
triangle stamped on the pin end. After making up
several connections in this manner the observed
torque should then be used to make up the rest
of the string. (Note – estimates of the make-up
shoulder torques for buttress are referenced in
the table, i.e., approximately 7,000 ft-lbs for this
connection)

Metric Example: 177.80 mm 34.23 Kg/m K-55 BTC

The pin should be made up in the coupling until
the end of the coupling reaches the base of the
triangle stamped on the pin end. After making up

Page 5
MLT™ Ring Field Make-Up Handbook

several connections in this manner the observed

torque should then be used to make up the rest
of the string. (Note – estimates of the make-up
shoulder torques for buttress are referenced in
the table, i.e., approximately 9,490 N∙m for this
connection)

• API Round and Buttress Thread with MLT™ Rings

The MLT™ ring provides a signi+cant boost in torque
capacity to round and buttress thread connections. The
total torque capacity is determined as follows:

TorqueTotal = TorqueShoulder + TorqueDelta

Where,

TorqueShoulder = Torque to bring pin end into

contact with the MLT™ ring

Actual shoulder torques are determined during make-up

in the +eld. They can be estimated with the tables herein
using as the shoulder torque the API Recommended
Torques for round thread or the tabulated estimated
make-up torque shown for buttress threads.

and

TorqueDelta = Additional torque capacity

available from the contact of the
pin end and MLT™ ring

Delta Torques are calculated on the basis of predicted

yield of the ring or pin end, whichever occurs +rst. The
Delta Torques in the table are for L-80 grade rings. In
cases where ring strength limits the torque, higher torque
ratings may result from the use of higher strength rings.

Total Torques. Values for TorqueTotal are provided

in the tables. For round thread the shoulder torque
is conservatively assumed to be the minimum API
recommended torque. Where the shoulder torque is
higher then total torque will also be higher.

Imperial Example: 7” 23# N-80 LTC

For Shoulder Torque = API Minimum Torque
TorqueShoulder = 3,320 ft-lbs from the LONG
thread table (minimum)
TorqueDelta = 4,400 ft-lbs from the LONG
table
TorqueTotal = 3,320 + 4,400 = 7,720 ft-lbs

For Shoulder Torque = API Optimum Torque

TorqueShoulder = 4,420 ft-lbs from the LONG
thread table (optimum)
TorqueDelta = 4,400 ft-lbs from the LONG
table
Torque Total = 4,420 + 4,400 = 8,820 ft-lbs

Metric Example: 177.80 mm 34.23 Kg/m N-80 LTC

For Shoulder Torque = API Minimum Torque
TorqueShoulder = 4,500 N∙m from the LONG
thread table (minimum)
TorqueDelta = 5,970 N∙m from the LONG
table
TorqueTotal = 4,500 + 5,970 = 10,470 N·m

For Shoulder Torque = API Optimum Torque

TorqueShoulder = 5,990 N∙m from the LONG
thread table (optimum)
TorqueDelta = 5,970 N∙m from the LONG
table
Torque Total = 5,990 + 5,970 = 11,960 N·m

TECHNICAL SERVICES NOTE:

Higher torque performance using the MLT™ Ring may be
available depending on the casing or tubing and the operator
design requirements. Additional design assistance is
available by contacting TESCO as noted below:

Notes to tables:

1. API Recommended Torques are from API RP 5C1,

Eighteenth Edition, May 1999 and apply to NEW
threads. Previously made-up threads, particularly tubing,
may demonstrate reduced torques due to permanent
deformation of pin and/or coupling.
2. Ring ID is prior to forming lobes, i.e., diameter equivalent
to ring circumference. In some cases the ring ID is
less than the pipe ID and for these cases the ring ID is
highlighted in yellow.
Example 3.970 inches or 100.84 mm
3. Torque Total = Torque Shoulder + Torque Delta

where:
a. Torque Shoulder for round thread is conservatively
taken as the Minimum API Recommended Torque.

b.Torque Shoulder for buttress thread is the estimated

make-up torque shown in the tables and is generally
conservative. Caution – Field torque values will
vary and torque table values for buttress are
approximation only.

c. Torque Total is provided as a range of Min and Max

for round thread depending on the actual shoulder
torque observed in the +eld. A Max torque is
provided for buttress thread.
4. Delta torque is the torque boost provided by the MLT™
ring and is added to the shoulder torque to provide the
total torque. For buttress threads, the Delta torque is
conservatively limited by the elastic limit of the ring or pin
in compression. For round threads, the Delta toque is
conservatively limited by the elastic limit of the ring or pin
in compression, or a lower limit to retain sealing contact
between the mated pin and coupling threads, whichever
is lower.
5. The conservatism built into these ratings allows higher
torque values depending on circumstances. Contact
TESCO for speci+c applications.
6. MLT™ rings are made from API grade L-80 steel and
have the mechanical properties of L-80. If desired, higher
torque capacity is available by using higher strength
rings.
