ABSTRACT:
An interconnection system for pipelines and other oil country applications enables the parent metal of internally coated or lined pipe to be free of thermal and mechanical stresses that degrade the coatings or linings. A male member having an internal lining and a female member into which the male member is to be fitted each have internal circumferential grooves into which open loop snap rings are locked. By arranging grooves and snap rings of progressively changing axial lengths, a number of rings are deployed in a given installation, since rings preinstalled in the female member pass over smaller grooves in an inserted male member until all contrast into position at the same time. In a pin and box combination, the nose ends of the pins compress a central seal ring that is internally flush with the pin linings. The central seal and O-rings seated in the box and engaging the pins block passage of internal presurgical gases and corrosive materials. The interconnection system also is useful with unlined and uncoated pipe systems wherein there is a benefit in reducing the equipment, time or costs involved in pipeline installation.
