  • Publication number: 20230024535
    Abstract: A steel tubular pipe, which is threaded, sleeved, or integral, includes at least one first male threaded end, an inner surface, and a metal deposition layer on the inner surface and of thickness between 0.01 mm and 0.8 mm deposited on all or part of the inner surface of the pipe.

  • Patent number: 11473373
    Abstract: A threaded connection includes a first and a second tubular component made up one with the other. A male element of the first component includes, on its external peripheral surface, a male inner lip including an inner mg with a minimum thickness Epi and a male threaded zone. One inner end of the male threaded zone is at a non-zero axial distance (Li) from a male distal end. A female element of the second component includes, in succession over its internal peripheral surface, a female inner recess disposed facing the male inner lip and a female threaded zone, such that in the made up position of the connection, a radial clearance subsists between the male inner ring and the female inner recess and an internal seal is formed locally between the male inner lip and the female inner recess. The connection is such that 10%?Epi/Li.

  • Patent number: 10968706
    Abstract: An assembly for producing a threaded connection includes first and second tubular components with an axis of revolution and each provided at one end with at least first, second, and third continuous threaded zones provided in succession on the same helix on the outer or inner peripheral surface of the component depending on whether the threaded end is male or female. The components are capable of cooperating together upon makeup. At least one of the first, second, or third threaded zones has a variable width thread profile and is self-locking. The ends respectively finish in a free terminal surface. Each of the ends is free of a specific abutment surface. At least one sealing surface is provided between each of the adjacent threaded zones in order to cooperate in a sealed interference fit with a sealing surface provided on the corresponding end when the connection is made up.
