The Benoit ™ BTS-8,™ BTS-6,™ and BTS-4™ connections are multi-seal, high pressure
Premium Integral Joint connections, designed for use under the
most severe conditions, including - deep, high pressure and sour
gas wells. These connections have also demonstrated exceptional
performance in horizontal well completions.
BTS-8™ is used on lighter weight tubing, while
BTS-6™ and BTS-4™ are used on heavier weight
material.
The multiple seal of the BTS™ connections guarantee leak-proof performance and sealing integrity of the connections even when subjected to a combination of loads, bending, and high internal pressure. The main characteristics of the BTS™ Two-Step design include:
These combined features of the Benoit™
BTS™ provide a connection that exceeds tube body
rating in tensile, burst, and collapse efficiency, reduces
make-up time & problems, and offers increased sealing reliability
even under the most adverse conditions.
When close tubing running clearance requires smaller than
standard O. D. connections, both BTS-8™ and
BTS-6™ can be provided with Special Clearance
outside diameters.
All BTS™ carbon steel connections are treated
with a special phosphate process to ensure optimum protection
against corrosion and galling. Chrome Alloy tubing is sugar
blasted and dry molly coated for protection and increased
resistance to galling. These processes provide superior make-up
characteristics and sealing integrity even after multiple
makes-and-breaks.
Both BTS™ connections are available with a
"PR" (Protective Ring) feature in the box, which consists of a
precisely machined groove at the rear of the 14o seal
and a protective ring installed in the groove. During make-up,
the ring is compressed and locked into position. Used mainly
for internally coated tubing, the protective ring provides a
completion to the internal coating as well as an effective
protection of the internal metal-to-metal seal against corrosive
fluids and gases, and reduces flow turbulence. (SEE PICTURE)
