A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12000750B2) outlines a method for coupling tubular components using a unique torque-based approach. The method involves engaging and rotating the components to screw threaded portions together while analyzing the torque curve generated during the process. By comparing this curve to reference curves in a database, the quality of the coupling is assessed, distinguishing between conforming and non-conforming statuses. Each non-conforming status is linked to a specific problem, aiding in troubleshooting and maintenance efforts.

Furthermore, the patent details the use of human appraisal and machine learning algorithms to allocate coupling statuses and analyze the torque curve shape at various stages of the coupling process. The algorithm compares linearity, downward-sloping portions, and areas of triangles within the curve to reference curves, enhancing the accuracy of the assessment. Additionally, the algorithm can perform principal component analysis, data clustering, and t-SNE analysis to further refine the evaluation process. This innovative method offers a systematic and data-driven approach to assessing the quality of tubular component couplings, potentially revolutionizing maintenance practices in various industries.
