Speedloc Clamps

The more you connect, the more you save.


Speedloc I
Offshore rig rates are on the rise and the struggle to control costs is getting more
difficult every day. Since every wellhead connection needs to be made up or
broken out at least three times: nippling up the BOP; nippling down the BOP; and
connecting your next or final component; you need the quickest solution possible.
If you're drilling a single well or drilling on a platform, you save an average of
3 hours every time the connection is nippled up or down. The chart below
indicates the time savings of a Speedloc clamp compared to the installation of
a conventional flange:

Preassembled segments eliminate loose


parts and pinch points
Traveling nut keeps segments aligned to
the hub, providing faster installation
The straight-bore metal seal (SBMS) is a
self-energized seal with the capability to
conform to well movement due to a high
bending moment
Face-to-face makeup design exceeds the
bending loads of API flanges and other
clamp-type connections

Speedloc II
Segments can be attached to either the
upper or lower wellhead/riser component
Retaining & alignment bolt forces
retention of the segment with the hub for
easy installation

You save 9 hours of rig time, no matter what - and with todays rig rates,
Speedloc clamps do more than pay for themselves.

Traveling nut aligns segments with the


hub for quick installation
Standard API RX/BXgasket maximizes
flexibility
Traveling washer allows the segment to
move with the nut while remaining in
position, eliminating "pinch" points

Your safety matters.

Clamp/hub profile adapts to standard


API flanges for maximum compatibility

Offshore, the external environment can expose both


equipment and operators to harsh elements. That's why
minimizing rig time is so important.
Unlike a flanged connection, Speedloc quick connectors
can be made up safely in less than 30 minutes - even
with a large-bore stackup - thus minimizing your time in
harsh weather or working under a BOP by nearly 90%.
In addition to severe weather and working under a
suspended BOP, recordable incidents during installation
were also studied during the development of the
Speedloc. That's how FMC engineers equipment - we
look at your real-world needs and deliver the tools for a
safer operation.

The two Speedloc designs offered by FMC, the Speedloc I &


II, are configured to provide maximum compatibility for BOPs,
risers, trees, and wellheads. A wide range of sizes and
pressure ratings is available; from 7 1/16" 20K to 21 3/4" 2K.
With higher bending loads than conventional flanges and
other industry clamps, the durability of Speedloc clamps is
certified through extensive FEA testing. FEA (Finite Element
Analysis) predicts the stress levels placed on the clamps in
typical working conditions, and when coupled with API 6A
PR2 (Annex F) qualification, further ensures Speedloc reliability.
