Abstract: This paper is a summary of Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Companys 20 years of experience with mechanical pipe connections, specifically the swaged tube/interference fit designs. This paper will: Explore the historical development of mechanical pipe connections Explain the advantage and disadvantages of the swaged tube designs Demonstrate the cost savings achieved by Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company by using mechanical joints Discuss applications that favor mechanical pipeline connections Reveal the development of a revolutionary new mechanical joint configuration called the DX design The DX, double expanded, design is a product of Panhandle Easterns Engineering Research and Development Department. The DX connection represents a radical departure from prior state-of-the-art mechanical joint designs. The DX connection is an advanced form of the swaged tube bell and pin configuration it has strength exceeding the absolute limits of the pipe from which it was made.
