Abstract:
The load flanks (15) in the male threaded portion (11) of the pin (10) and the load flanks (24) in the female threaded portion (21) of the box (20) have a flank angle ¸ of less than 0 degrees. The female threaded portion (21) is divided into, in order from near the seal surface (26), an incomplete thread section (21b) and a complete thread section (21 a). In the female threaded portion (21), over the entire area including the two thread sections (21a, 21b), roots (23) collectively define a single tapered periphery. The incomplete thread section (21b) has a length of at least three times the thread pitch and has a thread height lower than a thread height of the complete thread section (21a). In a made-up state, the shoulder surfaces (17, 27) are in contact with each other, the seal surfaces (16, 26) are in contact with each other, and in the incomplete thread section (21b), clearances are provided between the roots (13) of the male threaded portion (11) and the crests (22) of the female threaded portion (21). Consequently, sealing performance against external pressure is maintained and sealing performance against internal pressure is improved.
Abstract:
A conduit seal assembly includes an outer conduit having a first end with a first opening and a second end, opposite the first end, with a second opening. A first seal is positioned in the first opening for resisting a first temperature, and a second seal is positioned in the second opening for resisting a second temperature less than the first temperature. The first and second seals define a cavity and provide an air-tight seal of the cavity, and the assembly includes a monitoring assembly configured to sense a characteristic in the cavity.
Abstract:
An assembly for producing a threaded connection, including tubular components provided with continuous threaded zones, in the form of helixes each provided with a first and a second taper generatrix, each of the threaded zones defining a thread profile, viewed in a longitudinal section passing through the axis of revolution, provided with load flanks, stabbing flanks, thread crests, and thread roots, wherein the height of the threads of the first threaded zones and the height of the threads of the second threaded zones are each in the range 1 mm to 2.5 mm, and the angle of the load flanks of the first and second threaded zones with the normal to the axis of revolution is in the range 1 to 20 degrees, and the angle of the stabbing flanks of the first and second threaded zones with the normal to the axis of revolution is in the range 3 to 25 degrees.
Abstract:
A tubular threaded joint has a pin and a box. Each having a contact surface comprising a threaded portion and an unthreaded metal contact portion including a seal portion and a shoulder portion. A solid lubricating coating having a relatively high Knoop hardness is formed on a portion including the shoulder portion of the contact surface, such as the unthreaded metal contact portion including the shoulder portion and the seal portion, of at least one of the pin and the box. A solid lubricating coating having a relatively low Knoop hardness is formed at least on the remaining portion of the contact surface, such as the threaded portion. The threaded joint has excellent galling resistance, gas tightness, and rust preventing properties. The joint does not readily undergo yielding of shoulder portions even when made up with a high torque, thereby making it possible to perform makeup in a stable manner.
Abstract:
Provided is a threaded joint in which the outer peripheral face 31 of the pin nose 8 has a single tapered shape, the seal face 21 of the box 1 has an outwardly convex curved shape, and a seal point x p defined by the following equation is greater than or equal to 0.2 inches, x p = ∫ x 1 x 2 p x ⅆ x F F = ∫ x 1 x 2 p ⅆ x , where p is a contact face pressure, x is a distance from an end of the pin in a pipe axis direction, and x 1 and x 2 are respectively a lower limit and an upper limit of a domain of x corresponding to the seal portion.
Abstract:
Provided is a termite resistant multilayer pipe. The pipe is a polyethylene pipe comprising: a) at least one layer (A) comprising an ethylene polymer, and b) at least one outer layer (B) comprising the polymer, said polymer being different to the ethylene polymer of the at least on layer (A), wherein the outer layer (B) has a shore D hardness measured according to ISO 868 of at least 60.
Abstract:
Eine Kupplungsanordnung (6) zur lösbaren Verbindung mit Verbindungsmittel, mit Verbindungsgegenmittel, die an den Verbindungsmitteln festlegbar sind und mit einer positionierbarer Stelleinrichtung (32), die zwischen einer Sperrstellung und einer Fließstellung, umschaltbar ist, wobei die Stelleinrichtung (32) einen drehbar gelagerten Stellkörper (30) aufweist. Es ist vorgesehen, dass der Stell-körper (30) über ein translatorisch verstellbares Betätigungsmittel verstellbar ist, wobei zwischen dem Stellkörper (30) und dem Betätigungsmittel ein Umlenkgetriebe (96) vorgesehen ist.
Abstract:
A urea feed or return line (2) that comprises a hollow coupling (1) enabling it to be connected to a urea tank and that comprises a passage for the urea, this coupling being, in addition, equipped with a heating filament (9), at least one part of which extends freely inside the passage provided for the urea, this part having the shape of a loop or a spiral capable of also extending at least partly into the tank and/or into a tube attached thereto.
