- the seal surface of the pin shrinks due to the amount of interference
- the seal surface of the box expands, and the contact pressure is applied to the seal surface by the elastic recovery force that each seal surface tries to return to its original diameter. Is generated, the entire circumference adheres closely, and the sealing performance is exhibited.
- the threaded joint disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 2-31271 employs a one-step taper screw in the threaded portion and has an inner seal portion on the tip side of the pin.

- the surface of each shoulder structure is formed in an inverted S shape in a longitudinal sectional view.
- the threaded joints of US 2012/0043756 and US Pat. No. 5,687,999 employ a two-step taper screw in the threaded portion, respectively, on the tip end side of the pin and the steel pipe body side.

- the corresponding sealing surfaces come into contact with each other when the pin and the box are fastened.
- the threaded joint disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-31271 has only an inner seal portion provided on the tip end side of the pin. According to this configuration, when the internal pressure is applied to the threaded joint, the tip of the pin may be pushed toward the box, and the sealing performance against the internal pressure can be maintained. On the other hand, when external pressure is applied to the threaded joint, the tip of the thin pin is pushed down by the external pressure that has entered the joint through the gap of the screw, and the inner seal part can easily be spaced between the pin and the box. Will occur. Therefore, it is difficult for the threaded joint disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-312271 to ensure the sealing performance against external pressure.

According to this configuration, since the thickness of the seal portion can be ensured in the pin and the box, it is compared with screw joints such as Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-312271 and US Pat. No. 4,494,777. Sealing performance can be increased. However, when the screw portion is divided into two stages by the seal portion, the thickness that can be used for the screw of each stage is reduced. As a result, the screw has a small screw region and a low screw height, and the strength of screw connection, particularly the tensile strength, is significantly reduced.

For this reason, even with the threaded joints of US 2012/0043756 and US Pat. No. 5,687,999, sufficient joint strength and sealing performance cannot be expected.

- the internal pressure may press the tip of the pin against the box, and can exhibit sealing performance against the internal pressure.
- the external pressure reaches the tip of the pin through the gap of the screw part and pushes down the tip of the thin pin, a gap is easily generated between the pin and the box when external pressure is applied. End up. Therefore, the configuration in which only the inner seal portion is provided cannot exhibit the sealing performance against the external pressure.

- the internal pressure reaches the end of the box through the gap of the screw part and pushes up the end of the thin box, a gap is easily generated between the pin and the box when internal pressure is applied. End up. Therefore, in the configuration in which only the outer seal portion is provided, the sealing performance against the internal pressure cannot be exhibited.
- the thread portion is necessarily composed of two stages of screws. That is, since the screw portion is divided into two parts, the wall thickness that can be used for each stage screw is naturally very small. As a result, there is almost no complete thread area, and the thread is full of incomplete thread areas, and the strength of the screw connection, particularly the tensile strength, is significantly reduced.
- the inventors of the threaded joint for steel pipes according to the embodiment further improve the sealing performance of the threaded joint in which the threaded part is configured by a single stage screw having a seal part on both the tip end side and the steel pipe body side.
- I have done research to improve it.
- the inventors have devised a pin tip portion (hereinafter also referred to as “pin lip portion”) provided with an inner seal portion and an end portion of a box provided with an outer seal portion (hereinafter referred to as “box lip portion”). It has been found that the sealing performance can be considerably improved by increasing the thickness of each of the above materials as much as possible.
- the inner diameter and outer diameter of the slim type threaded joint are strictly limited. Therefore, the inner diameter cannot be reduced to increase the thickness of the pin lip portion, and the outer diameter cannot be increased to increase the thickness of the box lip portion. For example, by shortening the screw length, lowering the thread height, or loosening the taper angle of the screw, etc., the wall thickness used by the screw part can be saved, and the pin lip and box lip It is also possible to increase the thickness of the part.
- the present inventors paid attention to the meshed state of the end of the threaded portion in the conventional threaded joint. Since the threaded portion is composed of a taper screw provided on the outer peripheral surface or inner peripheral surface of the pipe material, the top of the thread of the male thread or female thread is cut off at the end of the threaded part, and the thread height gradually decreases. Become. On the other hand, since the depth of the screw groove corresponding to these screw threads does not become shallow, a large space is generated between the screw thread top surface and the screw valley bottom surface at the end of the screw part even after screw coupling.
- the sealing performance can be further improved by effectively utilizing the region where the space is generated in the threaded joint.
- the inventors have increased the wall thickness of the pin lip and the box lip by gradually decreasing the depth of the thread groove in response to the height of the screw thread gradually decreasing at the end of the thread. I came up with the idea that I could make it bigger.

Abstract
Description
以下、鋼管用ねじ継手の実施形態について図面を参照しつつ説明する。図中同一及び相
当する構成については同一の符号を付し、同じ説明を繰り返さない。
上述したように、ねじ部の管軸方向の内端部において、雄ねじ部13のねじ谷底面131bと、これに対応する雌ねじ部23の各ねじ山頂面231aとの間には隙間C1が存在する。ねじ部の管軸方向の外端部において、雄ねじ部13の各ねじ山頂面131aと、これに対応する雌ねじ部23のねじ谷底面231bとの間には隙間C2が生じる。隙間C1、C2は、ぞれぞれ、ねじ部の管軸方向の内端部及び外端部の真円度(楕円率)のばらつき(製造公差)に応じて設定するのが好ましい。真円度は、例えば、鋼管の外径、肉厚サイズや材質、製造方法等によってさまざまに変化する。しかしながら、真円度は、概して、雄ねじ部13の完全ねじ山及び雌ねじ部23の完全ねじ山のうち低い方の荷重面の高さ(径方向の寸法)の概ね5%以上50%以下であり、より好ましくは10%以上30%以下である。
本実施形態では、特に、ボックス20の外径と鋼管本体30の外径との差が小さいフラッシュ型、セミフラッシュ型、及びスリム型等と呼ばれる鋼管用ねじ継手が対象とされる。上述した通り、本実施形態に係る鋼管用ねじ継手1において、ボックス20の外径は、鋼管本体30の外径の108%以下である。特に、ボックス20の外径と鋼管本体30の外径との差がより小さいフラッシュ型及びセミフラッシュ型のねじ継手の場合、ボックス20の外径は、鋼管本体30の外径の104%以下である。ねじ継手1の内径(ピン10の内径)は、例えば、API規格のSPEC5CTのドリフト径を下限とする。
第1シール面11、21及び第2シール面14、24それぞれの形状及び寸法は、特に限定されるものではない。ねじ継手1の縦断面(管軸CLを含む平面で切断した断面)において、第1シール面11、21及び第2シール面14、24の輪郭は、直線、円弧、楕円弧、もしくは滑らかな凸曲線、又はこれらの組み合わせで構成することができる。
上述したように、第1シール部及び/又は第2シール部とねじ部との管軸方向の距離があまりに近すぎると、第1シール部及び/又は第2シール部の干渉量によって雌ねじ部23が雄ねじ部13から引き剥がされ、ねじ部の端部においてねじ結合の強度が低下してしまう。よって、ねじ継手1の外径や肉厚サイズ等にもよるが、ねじ部から第1シール部までの管軸方向の距離L1、及びねじ部から第2シール部までの管軸方向の距離L2は、それぞれ、ねじピッチP1、P2の1.5倍以上であることが好ましい。製造コストや取扱性等の観点から、距離L1、L2は、それぞれ、ねじピッチP1、P2の5倍以下とすることができる。
ボックス20の端部における周方向の引張耐力は、冷間拡管加工等によって高めることができる。例えば、ボックス20の第2シール面24における周方向の引張耐力は、鋼管本体30の引張耐力よりも少なくとも5%以上高めることが好ましく、10%以上高めることがより好ましい。
以上、実施形態について説明したが、本開示は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、その趣旨を逸脱しない限りにおいて種々の変更が可能である。例えば、図5及び図6に示すように、ピン又はボックスがノーズ部を備えていてもよい。
図9に示すように、弾塑性有限要素解析に用いた鋼管用ねじ継手のモデルは、第1シール面11、21で構成された内シール部と、第2シール面14、24で構成された外シール部と、ショルダ面15、25で構成されるショルダ部と、外シール部とショルダ部との間に配置されたノーズ部26とを備える。後述する実施例及び比較例のモデルの基本構成は同一である。
・鋼管の寸法:14[inch]、115[lb/ft](公称外径がφ355.6mm、公称肉厚が20.63mm)
・鋼管のグレード:API規格のQ125(API 5CTで規定される油井管用炭素鋼、降伏強度が125ksi(862N/mm2))
・ねじの形状及び寸法:ダブテイル形状(図11参照)、ねじ込み進行方向にねじ山幅及びねじ溝幅が変化、締結状態において雄ねじ部のねじ山頂面と雌ねじ部のねじ谷底面との間及び挿入面間に隙間あり、ねじ山高さが約2mm、ねじピッチが8.47mm、ねじテーパが1/10、一条ねじ
・ねじ部と内シール部及び外シール部との各距離:19mm
・ノーズ部の管軸方向の長さ:20mm
弾塑性有限要素解析では、作製した各モデルについて、ショルダリング(ショルダ面15、25同士が突き当たること)からさらに管軸方向に0.001インチ締め込み、ISO13679:2002年版のシリーズA試験(常温下の繰返し内圧、外圧負荷試験)を模擬した荷重組合せを順次負荷した。その解析過程における内外シール部の密封面圧の最小値を、比較例の値を1として相対値で比較した。解析結果を表1に示す。
