Zusammenfassung:A tubular string (510) comprises a plurality of torque connectors (100) connecting a plurality of tubular members (546, 548, 550). At least one torque connector (100) of the plurality of torque connectors (100) comprises a pin component (102) threadably connected to the box component (104). The pin (102) comprises a three torque shoulders (106, 108, 110) corresponding to three surfaces (112, 114, 116) of the box component (104). In at least one embodiment, a sacrificial material (124) is deposited between one of the torque shoulders (106, 108, 110) and one of the surfaces (112, 114, 116) to provide additional torque capacity to the torque connector (100). Additional apparatus, methods, and systems are disclosed. (Fig. 1)
