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 11):
A process for performing hydraulic connection comprising a hydraulic connector, according to  claim 1 , where the connector preload is obtained through the interference between main piston, cylindrical bodies and jaws and the self-locking friction angle of the conical surface where the main piston moves downwards due to the application of hydraulic pressure at line, which pressurizes the chamber and produces the radial movement of the jaws, where the amount of pre-load is a function of the interference between the cylindrical bodies, jaws, and the main piston and the applied locking pressure.
