  • SELF-LOCKING THREADED CONNECTION PARTIALLY IN NON-LOCKING ENGAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20230400126
    Abstract: 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.
