VAM® MUST is a flush premium casing for shifting salt domes and high-collapse applications. As VAM®
MUST has same OD as the couplings of the associated T&C casing for the same drift requirement, it may
therefore be inserted in a casing string only in the section of the high-collapse pressure area without
changing any drilling parameters. VAM® MUST is the reference for salt dome applications.
BENEFITS
• Heavier wall thickness for maximum collapse resistance
• Gas-tight under combined load with external pressure
• Internally and externally flush
• Increased wall thickness but same drift and same clearance
as the associated T&C casing
Integral flush design Internal reverse angle torque shoulder
®
• VAM MUST is an integral connection threaded on coupling stock • The reverse angle torque shoulder provides a positive torque stop, which
mother pipes with the OD of the couplings of the casing string used. allows accurate power-tight make-up.
Typically 10 3/4˝ ODs with 9 5/8˝ strings or 7 5/8˝ ODs with 7˝ strings.
• The reverse angle of the shoulder increases the internal seal contact
• 100% tension joint efficiency under tension compared to the associated pressure achieving excellent gas-tightness under internal pressure.
T&C casing string.
• The combination of the reverse angle torque shoulder and the 9° load
flank of the threads creates a “wedge”effect which improves the structural
strength of the connection.
Multiple seal system
• An external seal and an internal seal work independently of each other to
achieve sealing against internal pressure and external pressure up to 100% Streamlined internal and external profile
of the rated burst and collapse for the coupling stock mother pipe body.
• The OD and ID is 100% flush (no upset).
• The ID is bored and recess-free for smooth, efficient flow.
Improved thread design
• The OD is turned to tight tolerance.
• Thread load flank has a 9° reverse angle to resist jump-out.
• Thread stabbing flank has a 20° angle for fast, trouble-free make-up.
Connection Yield Strengths are calculated from the minimum specified material yield stress and the critical joint cross sectional area, pipe or coupling as, appropriate.
