XTM Premium gas-tight metal seal connections Rated for 10,000+ psi.
(XTMF)
Slip-Proof tube option (reduce damages associated with hanging in the slips) NACE compliant (65% - 85%) Material Grade Options (includes both tube and tool joints. Welds to be tested for informational purposes only).
Second generation double-shouldered tool joint, which evolved from the HI TORQUE (HT) connection design. Flatter taper results in 25% - 30% torque improvement over HI TORQUE.
Both API and HT connections incorporate a 2 taper per foot. XT connections have a taper per foot, increasing crosssectional area at critical load bearing region of thread.

XT and XTM are identical, except for the addition of the radial metal seal on XTM. Connections are not interchangeable. Radial metal-to-metal internal pressure seal provides superior leak resistance in high pressure applications while maintaining torsional capacities equivalent to XT connections. Seal integrity is not effected by multiple trips.
Metal-to-metal radial seal provides gas-tight pressure integrity. Resilient 15-degree metal-to-metal seal extends the circumference inch up from the pin nose. The pin nose is not a seal, therefore minor damage and pitting are permissible without adversely affecting the performance of the connection.

Only Difference between XT and XT-F is the thread root design XT-F has larger double root radius Larger root radius = reduced max principal stress = improved fatigue performance XT-F is fully interchangeable with XT
