XCalibur Connectors

Gas-tight threaded and coupled connector

Description

XCalibur, a threaded and coupled connector featuring a gas-tight metal-to-metal seal, is the latest addition to the XL Systems family of large diameter casing and connector products.

An integral pin with double start threads and a high strength forged coupling delivers robust performance and 100% pipe body strength in challenging onshore & offshore critical-service casing applications.

Extensive full-scale testing under combined axial, bending, and pressure loads has been completed to API RP 5C5 CAL I with gas. These rigorous tests confirmed that even at worst-case geometric tolerance conditions, XCalibur connectors match full pipe body gas pressure envelopes
