Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wellsite connector ( 110 ) includes a connector body ( 232 ) having an end adapted for coupling to a first of the components and a cavity ( 265 ) to receive a second of the components, a piston ( 234 ) axially movable in the connector body and having a piston profile along an inner surface thereof, and a plurality of collets ( 236 ). The collets are positionable about the connector body adjacent the piston and radially movable thereabout. The collets have a collet profile along an outer surface thereof corresponding to the piston profile of the piston. The collets also have a grip profile along an inner surface thereof selectively engageable with the second of the components whereby the collets are selectively latchable about the second of the components.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A wellsite connector for connecting components of a wellsite, the wellsite having a wellbore extending into a subsurface formation, the wellsite connector comprising: a connector body having an end adapted for coupling to a first of the components and a cavity to receive a second of the components; a piston axially movable in the connector body, the piston having a piston profile along an inner surface thereof; and a plurality of collets positionable…
