Apparatus and methods for increasing the torque capacity of connections between tubular members. In some embodiments, the connection is threaded. The apparatus may include a first tubular end (110) having a torque member (130) moveable thereon. A second tubular end (120) is made up with the first tubular end (110). The torque member (130) is moveable back toward the second tubular end (120). The torque member (130) can be moved into engagement with the second tubular end (120), and then torqued against the second tubular end (120). A first torquing interface (114, 124) is provided between the first tubular and the second tubular by making up their respective ends, and a second torquing interface (134, 126) is provided therebetween by torquing the torque member (130) against the second tubular end (120). A torque capacity of the made up connection (100) is increased thereby.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif et des procédés permettant d'augmenter la capacité de couple des raccords entre des éléments tubulaires. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le raccord est fileté. L'appareil peut comprendre une première extrémité tubulaire (110) dotée d'un élément de couple (130) pouvant se déplacer sur celui-ci. Une seconde extrémité tubulaire (120) est constituée de la première extrémité tubulaire (110). L'élément de couple (130) peut se déplacer vers l'arrière vers la seconde extrémité tubulaire (120). L'élément de couple (130) peut être déplacé en engagement avec la seconde extrémité tubulaire (120), et ensuite couplé contre la seconde extrémité tubulaire (120). Une première interface de couple (114, 124) est fournie entre la première extrémité tubulaire et la seconde extrémité tubulaire représentant leurs extrémités respectives, et une seconde interface de couple (134, 126) est fournie entre celles-ci en couplant l'élément de couple (130) contre la seconde extrémité tubulaire (120). Ainsi on augmente la capacité de couple du raccord constitué (100).
