VAM® SFC™

VAM® SFC™


VAM® SFCTM is a gas tight expanded box premium connection combining maximum external and internal pressure resistance with increased compression.

VAM® SFCTM is based on VAM® SLIJ-IITM with modifications that increase the torque capacity, making it ideal for the ho​rizontal sections needed in the Shale plays. The tapered two-step thread​ design means that it sta​bs deep with very low risk of cross-threading. The slim OD is about 2-3% above pipe body, making it ideal for use in tight clearance wells.
