Design Review Calculation Process

  • Each project is supported by a structured design review and calculation process to ensure compliance, performance, and operational safety:
  • Design Input Verification – Review of client specifications, OEM drawings, and applicable API/premium connection standards.
  • Engineering Calculations – Wall thickness checks, connection stress analysis, make-up torque calculations, using recognised engineering practices.
  • Peer & Supervisor Review – Independent validation of calculations and design assumptions by senior engineers.
  • Documentation & Approval – Compilation of design review reports, calculation sheets, and compliance statements for client records.
  • Continuous Feedback Loop – Lessons learned from field performance are incorporated into future design and calculation practices.

This integrated process ensures that every threaded or machined product delivered from our facility meets not only dimensional accuracy but also the mechanical integrity and service life expectations required in the oilfield.
