  • Patent number: 10316995
    Abstract: A sealed threaded tubular connection resistant to successive pressure loads includes a male element including a male threading and a female element including a female threading corresponding to the male threading. At least one of the elements includes a lip extending beyond the threading to the free end of the element and the other element includes a recess for the lip. The lip includes a first zone with a peripheral surface turned towards the other element on which a first sealing surface is disposed that can be radially interference fitted against a corresponding second sealing surface disposed on the peripheral surface of the recess of the other element. The lip includes a second axially located zone between the first zone and the free end of the element that includes a first radial bearing surface turned towards the other element in contact with a corresponding second radial bearing surface disposed on the peripheral surface of the recess of the other element.

  • Patent number: 9395028
    Abstract: A tubular threaded element including a dry protective coating. The coating includes a solid matrix adhering to the substrate in which there are dispersed particles of at least one solid lubricant belonging to one and the same class. The solid matrix is lubricating and has a rheological behavior of plastic or viscoplastic type. The coating protects the threadings of the threaded elements, used for example in hydrocarbon wells, from corrosion and galling.

  • Publication number: 20090220780
    Abstract: A tubular threaded element including a dry protective coating. The coating includes a solid matrix adhering to the substrate in which are dispersed particles of solid lubricants from at least two classes that are selected to exert a synergistic effect between themselves and with the constituents of the matrix, i.e. coating provides protection against corrosion and against galling of the threadings of threaded elements used in hydrocarbon wells.
