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.
