ABSTRACT:
A slip joint connects coaxially oriented tubular members in a manner to allow axial slippage while maintaining concentricity without generating large axial loads. The joint comprises a first tubular member having a smaller outside diameter than an inside diameter of a second member whereby the first member is slidable into the second member. A pair of spaced lands circumscribe the first member and define a groove therebetween. The slip joint has a seal ring position in the groove. The lands have a plurality of circumferentially spaced nodes extending radially outward so as to contact the inner diameter of the second member.
