Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a joint with tapered threads for connecting oil well pipes, for example, to each other. Background technique
[0002] When the taper thread is connected, the external thread and the internal thread are threadedly engaged with each other. Not only do the load flanks come into contact with each other but also between the crest of the male thread and the root of the female thread, or between the root of the male thread and the crest of the female thread, or the entry on the opposite side (rear side) of the load flank. When contact occurs between the stab flanks, tightening is prevented and relative movement in the radial direction of the thread is also prevented. Normally, when the crest or root of the male thread is in contact with its opposite root or crest, tightening is prevented and further thread engagement between the male and female threads is prevented.
[0003] If the tightening force (torque) is further increa...
