Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a threaded joint for steel pipes having high sealability even under a bending load. In the threaded joint, when a pin 3 and a box 1 are threadedly connected with each other, the outer peripheral face of a nose 8 of the pin and the inner peripheral face of a nose of the box are in metal-to-metal contact with each other at a contact portion and the contact portion serves as a seal portion 20 . A threaded portion, at which the externally threaded portion 7 and the internally threaded portion 5 are threadedly connected with each other, has a negative load flank angle α, shoulder portions 12 and 14 have a negative torque shoulder angle β, and the ratio L/d 0 of a length L of the nose and a pipe outside diameter d 0 is equal to or higher than 0.08.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A threaded joint for steel pipes comprising: a pin including an externally threaded portion, a nose extending from the externally threaded portion toward an end of a pipe, and a shoulder portion disposed at a distal end of the nose; and a box including an internally threaded portion that forms a threaded portion by being threadedly connected with the externally threaded portion, an inner peripheral face that faces an outer peripheral face of the nose…
