Glossary Oil and Gas Field Operations / Term
Connection which is secured onto the coiled tubing body through the use of numerous blunt-tip screws loaded into dimpled recesses formed in the tube body. As the mechanical blunt-tip screws are loaded onto the tube body, forces exceeding the material yield strength of the tube create "dimples" in the tube body. These dimples serve as mechanical loading recesses for the blunt-tip screws which secure the connection to the CT body.
