ABSTRACT:
A method of thread timing for a rotary shouldered connection is presented. A ring gage which has a first and second scribe line thereon is used to establish a male timed rotary connection of a first tool. The angular distance between the first and second scribe lines is the advance timing correction (ATC), i.e., the angular distance between hand tight face-up and full torque make-up of a rotary connection comprising the male timed rotary connection of the first tool and a female timed rotary connection of a second tool. The second scribe line (indicative of the ATC) is transferred onto the first tool. A pin gage which has a third scribe line thereon is used to establish the female connection of the second tool. The third scribe line on the pin gage corresponds to the first scribe line on the ring gage. The third scribe line is transferred onto the second tool. When the first and second tools are rotatively connected at full torque, the transferred lines on the tools are in general angular alignment. These transferred lines provide the angular data for machining of the tools (e.g., machining of hatches or other features to house directional formation evaluation sensors or the like).
