Warning: Connection thread shear strength is too weak; the connection must be streamlined or a waiver must be signed. Advisory: Elevator Capacity is weaker than nominal pipe in tension. Note:
Unbalanced Connection, Box weak (Connection OD should be larger or ID larger).

Note: Slip Crushing: Slip crushing load is calculated with the Spiri-Reinhold equation from Why Does Drill Pipe
Fail in the Slip Area World Oil, 1959 for the slip length and transverse load factor shown and is for reference
only. Slip crushing is dependent on the slip design and condition, coefficient of friction, loading conditions, time in
slips, drill pipe OD and wall variation, and other factors. Consult with the slip manufacturer for additional
information.
