Abstract:
A tubular connection apparatus comprising:at least a first tubular having a first bore and a first connection at at least one end and at least a first transport tube segment having an inner and outer wall, out of fluid communication with said first bore, and having a first longitudinal axis, and extending from adjacent said first connection; at least a second tubular having a second bore and a second connection at at least one end and at least a second transport tube segment having an inner and outer wall, out of fluid communication with said second bore, and having a second longitudinal axis, and extending from adjacent said second connection; said first and second connections joinable by relative rotation of said first and second tubulars, whereupon said longitudinal axes of said transport tube segments are rotated into sealing alignment when a predetermined torque is applied to secure said first connection to said second connection.
