Provided is a screw joint capable of suppressing scratches and seizure caused by misalignment during fastening work while employing a doping-free technique. A screw joint (100) comprises a pin (10) including a tapered male screw part (11), and a box (20) including a tapered female screw part (21). The female screw part (21) has a screw taper that is constant over the entire length thereof. The male screw part (11) is divided into a complete screw part (11a) and an incomplete screw part (11b). The complete screw part (11a) has a screw taper equivalent to the screw taper of the female screw part (21). The incomplete screw part (11b) has a screw taper smaller than the screw taper of the complete screw part (11a). The inner peripheral surface of the box (20) is covered with a metal plating layer. The metal plating layer has a hardness higher than the hardness of the base material of the pin (10). The metal plating layer is covered with a solid lubrication film.

Abrégé

Provided is a slim threaded joint that has excellent sealing performance with respect to internal pressure, excellent sealing performance with respect to external pressure, and excellent strength with respect to compressive loads and that maintains sealing performance with respect to external pressure even after repeated loading. The present invention provides a slim threaded joint in which external pressure seals 21, 31 and internal pressure seals 23, 33 are provided in front of and behind thread parts 22, 32, a nose part 24 for maintaining internal pressure sealing performance is provided to a tip part of a pin 2, and torque shoulder surfaces 25, 35 are provided to the tip of the nose part 24, wherein contact between insertion surfaces of the thread parts 22, 32 during compressive loading bears a portion of the compressive load. The shoulder angle θ of the torque shoulder surfaces 25, 35 is reduced to reduce the amount that the pin 2 presses into a box 3 and the amount that an open end part of the box 2 undergoes diameter-reducing deformation toward the inside in the radial direction during compressive loading and to suppress accumulation of damage near an outer seal surface.

Abrégé

A flush self-locking threaded connection partially in a non-locking engagement comprises a first and a second tubular component provided respectively with male and female threaded zone at their respective ends. First portions of the male and female threaded zones with varying thread width and root cooperate along a self-locking tightening arrangement. A locking region within the threaded connection is located in the middle of non-locking regions, and radially centered to the pipe body API tolerances in order to withstand high torque and seal performances.

Abrégé

In a threaded connection for pipe having a two-step thread construction with intermediate shoulder surfaces, compression resistance is further improved. Upon completion of make-up of the pin 2 and box 3, the diameter of a stabbing clearance is 0.15 mm or smaller, where the stabbing clearance is defined between the stab flank of a male thread including an inner thread portion 27 and an outer thread portion 23 and the stab flank of a female thread including an inner thread portion 36 and an outer thread portion 32, thereby causing the stab flanks of the male and female threads to start to be in contact before the angle of rotation θ of the intermediate shoulder surfaces 25 and 34 as appearing in a longitudinal cross section starts to rapidly increase, thus preventing accumulation of damage in the intermediate shoulder surfaces 25 and 34.

Abrégé

A high-torque threaded connection with male and female threadforms constituted by wedge threads is provided with high shear resistance and high torque resistance. The radius of curvature r1 of the base of the load flank of the first thread 111, located at the end of the male threadform 11 associated with the tip, is not lower than the thread height Th×0.14, and more preferably not lower than Th×0.16, to improve the shear resistance of the first thread 111. Further, the thread pitch may be reduced to increase the number of threads to increase the area of contact for load flanks, or only the radius of curvature of the base of the load flank of the first thread located at the end of the male threadform associated with the tip may be increased and smaller radii of curvature may be provided for the other portions to increase the area of contact for load flanks, thereby maintaining high torque resistance.

Abrégé

A threaded connection for large diameter steel pipe exhibits high torque resistance and high sealability and, at the same time, provides a shear resistance that suits the size of the steel pipe to be connected. The threaded connection includes a tubular pin provided on a tip of a steel pipe with large diameter, and a tubular box 20 adapted to be drawn up on the pin as the pin is screwed in. The pin includes a male threadform made with a taper thread. The box includes a female threadform made with a taper thread. Each of the threadforms are wedge threads and have a dovetail-shaped cross section. The male threadform is designed such that the width of the thread in an end region of the male threadform closer to the tip is set to a size corresponding to the size of the pipe body of the steel pipe.
