Note:

1. Tool joint plus drill pipe.

2. The tensile strength of the tool joint pin is based on 120,000 psi yield and the cross sectional area at the root of the thread 5/8 inch from the shoulder.

3. Torsional yield strength based on shear strength of 57.7% of the minimum strength.

 DDDC FIELD HANDBOOK

4. Recommended make-up torque is half of tool joint torsional yield

5. Tensile strength for the connection exceeds that of the pipe, use pipe strength as guide.

6. Data obtained from table 4.2, PP12 & 13, ED, API SPEC.7, August 1, 1990. And reprinted from table 2.10, PP 13 & 14, Table 2.11, PP 15,16 & 17, Table 2.1, 2.2 & 2.3, PP 6-8, 14ED, API RP7G, August 1, 1990.
