- Twin cantilever design reinforces the coupling, creates high contact
pressure (leak resistance) in mating threads, limits expansion and
distortion from make-up, reduces assembly pre-stresses, and minimizes
thread galling.
- Easy stabbing without cross threading.
- Makes up to an internal torque shoulder in 5 to 6 turns and has
API triangle stamp for secondary make-up verification.
- Inspect with standard API and MRP gauges and procedures and meets
API Drift and OD Specifications.
- Maintains pressure integrity when special clearance.
Options
- Special Clearance OD (SC): Specify GB 3P SC when ordering. See Data
Sheets for minimum special clearance OD and associated properties.
- Beveled Bearing Faces: Specify (1) GB 3P for API Bearing Face
(standard), (2) GB 3P SB for Short Bevel (45°), or (2) GB 3P
LB Long Bevel (18°). (Special Clearance connections cannot be
furnished with a bevel). Bevels
AVAILABILITY
- GB 3P Couplings are stocked in K-55, L-80, N-80, and P-110 Grades
for 16" OD through 20" OD. Grade of couplings supplied depends
on availability at time of order placement. Substitutions, when required,
will be made in accordance with the adjacent schedule.
