Product introduction
  High-Pressure Half-Coupling (Threaded) – Technical Specification  

1. Product Definition  

A high-pressure threaded half-coupling is a semi-circular pipe fitting designed to:  

- Provide a branch connection on existing pipelines without full disassembly  

- Enable high-pressure tapping (up to 6,000 psi) via male/female threads  

- Serve as an economical alternative to welded outlets in maintenance-sensitive systems  

2. Design Features  

✔ Split-Socket Body: Clamps around existing pipe (no full-circumference welding required)  

✔ Reinforced Collar: Prevents thread deformation under high torque  

✔ Hex Flats: For wrench tightening during installation  

✔ Optional Boss Design: Integrates a welding pad for secondary reinforcement  

3. Applications  

- Retrofitting: Adding instrumentation taps to existing high-pressure lines  

- Hydraulic Systems: Branch connections for pressure gauges/valves  

- Oil & Gas: Temporary test points on wellhead manifolds  

- Power Plants: Steam line sampling ports  

4. Installation Protocol  

1. Surface Prep:  

   - Clean pipe surface & apply thread sealant  

2. Clamping:  

   - Secure half-coupling around pipe with high-tensile bolts  

3. Sealing:  

   - For non-welded versions: Use EPDM gasket between coupling/pipe  

   - For weldable types: Seal-weld the outer perimeter  

4. Thread Connection:  

   - Tighten threaded component to specified torque (per ASME B31.3)  

5. Advantages vs. Full Couplings  

✓ No Pipe Cutting: Installs on live pipelines  

✓ Faster Installation: 60% quicker than welded outlets  

✓ Adjustable Positioning: Rotatable after initial clamping  

6. Standards Compliance  

- ASME B16.11: Threaded/socket weld fittings  

- API 6A: Wellhead equipment compatibility  

- NACE MR0103: Sour service compliance  

Note: For permanent installations >3,000 psi, recommend seal-welding the half-coupling perimeter.
