Product Sheet CN Model D Expansion Joint
Compensate for tubing movement caused by temperature and pressure changes.
Achieve the desired length of production tubing without loss of pressure integrity
In most completions, the length of tubing available at surface is not enough for proper wellhead installation and operation. Pup joints and varying lengths of tubing are used to adjust the production string length as close as possible to the desired value. Then, the adjustable union or joint is installed, rotationally adjusted, and locked to the desired makeup length. In dual completions, the tool can be used to adjust the length of the short string.
The adjustable, telescoping action of the union or joint allows it to be set and locked at any desired position within its adjustment length while maintaining pressure integrity in the tubing string. Once the tool is in place, the desired amount of tension, weight, and rotational torque can be applied through it to the tubing.
