Patent number: 9194515Abstract: A threaded joint for pipes comprises a pin and a box, each having a threaded and unthreaded portion metal contact surface. The unthreaded metal contact portion includes a sealing surface and a shoulder surface, the shoulder surface of the pin located on the pin end surface. A non-contacting region where the pin and the box do not contact each other exists between the sealing surfaces and the shoulder surfaces of the pin and the box. One or more grooves is formed in at least one of the pin and the box shoulder surfaces and extending to the non-contacting region and to the interior of the joint. At least one of the contact surfaces has a solid lubricating coating exhibiting plastic or viscoplastic rheological behavior. A total volume V (mm3) of the grooves and coating weight W (g) of the solid lubricating coating satisfy the equation V/W?24 (mm3/g).Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2013Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignees: NIPPON STEEL & SUMITOMO METAL CORPORATION, VALLOUREC OIL AND GAS FRANCEInventors: Masahiro Oshima, Shin Ugai, Takashi Okada, Masayoshi Sasaki, Suguru Yamaguchi, Masaaki Sugino

Patent number: 7900975Abstract: A threaded joint for steel pipes constituted by a pin having male threads and a box having female threads is improved with respect to ease of insertion of the pin and galling resistance of the threaded portions. The stabbing flanks of the threads in a complete thread portion of one of the pin and a box has a two-step stabbing shape having a chamfer. The two-step stabbing shape has a stabbing flank angle ? of 5-45° and a chamfer angle ? of 20-60°. The ratio h/H of the chamfer height h to the thread height H of the pin is 0.25-0.50, or the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the chamfered portion to the overall cross-sectional area of the stabbing flank is made at least a value corresponding to a chamfer height ratio h/H of 0.25 and at most a value corresponding to a chamfer height ratio of 0.50.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2009Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Keiichi Nakamura, Takahiro Hamamoto, Masaaki Sugino, Suguru Yamaguchi
