Abstract

Disclosed are apparatus and methods for mechanically coupling two sections of radially expandable pipe providing a sand-controlling joint. Generally, a radially expandable coupling is disposed between and coupled with two sections of radially expandable pipe. The coupling includes a radially expandable sleeve (22) having a first end (24) and a second end (26), both ends having locking mechanism portions (34) corresponding to pipe section ends (28, 30). The coupling may include expansion slots (32) or a sheath (42) encasing the radially expandable sleeve. Methods are provided for coupling two sections of radially expandable pipe using a radially expandable coupling providing a sand-controlling joint between the pipe sections both before and after expansion.
