Hunting Subsea Technologies' also manufactures Steel Stress Joints
Benefits
Adaptable and Flexible
Approved in major design codes for structures, equipment and other mission-critical applications requiring a strong, ductile metal
Easy installation with no depth limit to wet parking and no additional requirements or adapters
API-RP-2RD stress design rules apply directly, no rubber laminates
Uses common manufacturing and NDE methods (monolithic mental structure)
Lighter weight and safer to handle offshore improve CAPEX and OPEX
Multiple Mounting Options
Standard TSJ porches
Welded TSJ porch structure, our most commonly used mounting system
Adapters for FJ porches
Used for SCR tiebacks to existing facilities with spare FJ porches
Scope & Supply
TSJs have three primary interface points:
• Platform pipe above • Riser pipe below • Bushing for riser hang off
The upper platform interface is a weld allowing flanged or diverless connectors.
At the lower riser interface Hunting Subsea Technologies can supply fatigue-rated girth welds and a hang-off collar attached to customer supplied riser pipe.
Top Tensioned Riser (TTR) System
Hunting Subsea Technologies has provided over two hundred thousand feet of TTR riser systems to more than a dozen major deepwater projects, domestic and international.
These TTR joints are typically connected using Hunting’s Subsea Technologies proprietary RTI-SD riser connectors, which are weld-on pin by box style premium connections featuring dual metallic interference seals, proprietary high fatigue thread forms, compression load shoulder, and optional hang-off shoulders for easy riser handling and installation.
Hunting Subsea Technologies TTRs include both single (40ft) and dual pipe (60ft) standard joints along with a variety of specialty joints, including tensioner joints, length adjustment joints, keel joints, and tapered stress joints. Offered in either steel or Titanium. Hunting Subsea Technologies TTR keel joints include our patented shrink-fit centralizer for enhanced fatigue life. Hunting Subsea Technologies TTR tapered stress joints can be provided from either steel or titanium, dependent on loading and fatigue requirements.
