Abstract:
A hydraulic connector type “Titus”, applicable in oil production and extraction operations in the seabed, is able to provide connection between cylindrical bodies (WCT and a wellhead, for example). The locking system has a primary hydraulic circuit and the unlocking system has primary and secondary hydraulic circuits. However, the pre-load adjustment system is performed through the friction self-locking angle, being the parallel locking the mechanism determining to prevent the accidental unlocking of the connector, including when exposed to vibration. The connector has a set of jaws, one main actuator hydraulic piston, pressurization chambers, secondary piston, sealing elements, an external liner, a lower guide, a two-part top cover, attachment screws, a two-part ring, conical surface and hydraulic fluid lines.

Claim (Index 12):
The process for performing hydraulic connection according to  claim 11 , wherein the step of unlocking the hydraulic connector comprises pressurization of the primary or secondary unlocking chambers by the primary or secondary hydraulic fluid lines, respectively, such that to force the secondary piston to act on the main piston causing its vertical movement upwards and removing the load over the jaws, thus leading the said jaws to move radially outward, back to the unlocked position.
