- this interference amount ⁇ is that the seal point sp is reduced in diameter (diameter reduction) in the box 1 which is regarded as a rigid body at the time of screw connection. It is the amount of pipe shrinkage at the time.
- the cross-sectional area of the pin 3 at the seal point sp (area of the cross section perpendicular to the joint axial direction) S 1 is set to the cross-sectional area (joint shaft) of the raw pipe portion that is the unmachined portion of the pin.
- the area of the cross section perpendicular to the direction) S 0 is 35% or more, that is, the cross-sectional area ratio S 1 / S 0 * 100 ⁇ 35 (%). Since the cross-sectional area ratio S 1 / S 0 * 100 ⁇ 35 (%), the compression resistance of the seal portion 20 is improved, and it is difficult to reduce the outer diameter of the pin even when subjected to a large axial compression force.
- the cross-sectional area S 1 is less than 35% of the cross-sectional area of the base pipe portion, ensuring the contact area pressure required level (integrated index over the surface pressure contact length) Is impossible.
- the cross-sectional area ratio S 1 / S 0 * 100 ⁇ 40 (%) is preferable.

- the seal point position index x / L is preferably 0.2 to 0.8. That is, 0.8 or less is preferable from the viewpoint of separating the seal portion 20 from the nose tip to improve external pressure resistance and tensile resistance, and providing stable performance to the screw. If it is less than 0.2, interference between the seal portion and the screw portion is likely to occur during tightening at the time of screw connection (make up; MU for short). Furthermore, 0.3 or more is more preferable for safety. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the angle ⁇ formed by the straight line S connecting the inner diameter side end portion 12a of the shoulder portion 12 of the pin 3 and the seal point sp with respect to the joint axis is 45 ° in a sectional view in the tube axis direction.
- the position of the seal point is set so as to be less than less. Since the axial compression force is received by the shoulder portion, it is inevitable that plastic deformation occurs at the tip of the pin when a large axial compression force is applied. Since the plastic deformation progresses in the direction of 45 degrees which is the shear direction, the inclination with respect to the straight joint axis (direction in which the axial compression force is applied) connecting the end portion on the inner diameter side of the shoulder portion and the seal point is less than 45 degrees. By doing so, the influence of the plastic deformation of the shoulder portion on the seal portion can be suppressed, and the sealing performance can be secured.
- the angle is practically 15 degrees or more.
- the inventors obtained the equivalent plastic strain distribution after the combined load test specified in the ISO test (ISO 13679: 2002) by finite element analysis (FEA), and as shown in FIG. A large plastic deformation occurs in the vicinity of the inner diameter side end 12a and the outer diameter side end 12b, and the deformation generated in the inner diameter side end 12a is in a direction of 45 degrees with respect to the joint axis direction which is a shear direction.

It was revealed that the equivalent plastic strain was larger than In addition, the result of FIG. 5 is for the screw joint which consists of the pin formed by the end part of the steel pipe of outer diameter 51/2 inch, wall thickness 0.415 inch, and steel grade P110, and this.
- the load schedule of the series A test consisting of 95% VME (Von Miss Equivalent stress) and 95% compression ratio is obtained.
- the position of the seal point is set so that the angle ⁇ (see FIG. 4) formed by the straight line connecting the inner diameter side end 12a of the shoulder portion 12 of the pin 3 and the seal point sp with respect to the joint axis is less than 45 °.
- load flank angle ⁇ the stubbing flank angle ⁇ , and the gap G of the threaded portion are not particularly limited, and the normal values can be employed respectively.

Abstract
Description
図6A~図6Cの従来例では、シール部はピンノーズ8の先端部にあり、適正な締付けトルク(make up torque)を与えることにより、所望のシール性能を実現できる。
締付けトルクは潤滑条件(lubrication condition)、表面性状等に影響されるので、これに大きくは依存しない設計として、シール接触圧力の半径方向成分を相対的に強くした半径方向シール方式がある。例えば、特許文献1には、大きなピンシールR形状を持ち、シールテーパ角(seal taper angle)を小さくした半径方向シール方式の例が開示されている。しかし、このようにシールテーパ角を小さくした、半径方向シール方式の問題点は、締付け時にゴーリング(galling)が発生し易い点にあり、特にシール性能の確保およびシールの安定性を目的として、シール干渉量(seal interference amount)を大きくとる場合には、ゴーリングの発生のし易さは格段に大きくなる。
しかしながら、発明者らが検討したところによれば、ラジアルシール型の鋼管用ねじ継手において、シール性の確保にはピンノーズの剛性(rigidity)の点でまだ改善の余地があった。すなわち、ラジアルシール型でのシール性の確保のためには、ピンノーズ8の剛性が重要であり、シールポイント(seal point)sp(図1参照;ねじ結合の際にピン3側のノーズ部外周面とこれに相対するボックス1側の内周面(以下、シール面という)とが最初に接触するピン3側のノーズ部外周面上の部位である)における断面積を十分に確保する必要があった。というのは、軸圧縮力(axial compression)が作用する際、シールポイントspにおけるピン断面積S1と未加工部(ねじ加工前の素管相当部)における断面積S0の比に応じた圧縮負荷(compressive load)が作用し、軸圧縮力の大部分をショルダ部で受けるねじ継手構造となっているが、前記断面積の比が適正でないと、シール部近傍にも軸圧縮力に伴う塑性変形(plastic deformation)が発生するのであり、この塑性変形により、ピンノーズ8には圧縮及び曲げ変形が生じ、シールポイントspにおけるピン3外径が縮小し、この縮小が著しい場合、シール部20の圧力が不十分となり、シール性が確保できなくなるからである。このような課題、更にはその解決策についての知見は過去に無かった。
更に発明者らは、ピンの管軸方向断面におけるシールポイントspの位置とピンショルダ下端とを結ぶ直線が継手軸方向となす角度を特定範囲とすることにより、ピンのシールポイントspにおける軸圧縮力負荷時の変形を減じて、シール性を確保することが可能となることを見出した。
すなわち本発明は次のとおりである。
(1)
雄ねじ部と、該雄ねじ部より管端側に延在するノーズ部と、該ノーズ部の先端に設けられたショルダ部とを有するピンと、
前記雄ねじ部とねじ結合されてねじ部をなす雌ねじ部と、前記ピンのノーズ部外周面に相対するシール面と、前記ピンのショルダ部に当接するショルダ部とを有するボックスとを有し、前記ねじ結合により前記ピンとボックスとが結合されてピンの前記ノーズ部外周面とボックスの前記シール面とがメタル‐メタル接触(metal to metal contact)しその接触部がシール部をなす管用ねじ継手であって、
ピン側のノーズ部外周面が外側に凸の曲面形状であり、ボックス側のシール面がテーパ形状であり、
前記ねじ結合の際にボックス側のシール面(sealing surface)と最初に接触するピン側のノーズ部外周面上の部位であるシールポイントにおけるピンの断面積が、ピン未加工部である素管部の断面積の35%以上である
ことを特徴とする管用ねじ継手。
(2)
継手軸方向断面視で、前記ピンのショルダ部の内径側端部と前記シールポイントとを結ぶ直線が、継手軸に対して45°未満の角度をなすよう、前記シールポイントの位置が設定されてなることを特徴とする前記(1)に記載の鋼管用ねじ継手。
さらに、シールポイントを適正な位置に設定することにより、軸圧縮力によりピン外径の縮小が生じたとしてもシール部への影響を抑制することにより優れたシール性を確保することができる。
ロードフランク角度βは、ロードフランク面18がねじ継手軸との直交線に対してなす角度βであり、該直交線がロードフランク面の下端(ピン内径側の端)を通るとき、該直交線に対して前記ロードフランク面の上端(ピン外径側の端)が、ピン先端側に位置する場合は正、ピン後端側に位置する場合は負とされる。通常、β=−10度~0度とされる。
本発明では、上記前提において、図2に示すとおり、ピン3側のノーズ部外周面が外側に凸の曲面形状であり、ボックス1側のシール面がテーパ形状である。該テーパ形状をなすテーパ面のテーパ角度θは、該テーパ面がねじ継手軸に対してなす角度θで定義される。又、シールポイントspは、ねじ結合の際にボックス1側のシール面と最初に接触するピン3側のノーズ部外周面上の部位のことである。
又、図2において、δはシール部20における干渉量であり、この干渉量δとは、ねじ結合の際にシールポイントspが、剛体とみなしたボックス1で縮径(diameter reduction)されたとした時の該縮径量(value of pipe shrinkage)のことである。
断面積比S1/S0*100≧35(%)としたことより、シール部20の耐圧縮性が向上し、大きな軸圧縮力を受けてもピン外径縮小を生じにくくなって、優れたシール性を確保できる。ラジアルシール型のねじ継手において、断面積S1が素管部の断面積の35%未満であると、所要レベルの接触面積圧(面圧を接触長に亘って積分した指標)を確保することが不可能となる。又、より十分な耐圧縮性を得るためには、断面積比S1/S0*100≧40(%)とすることが好ましい。
さらに、図4に示すように、管軸方向断面視で、ピン3のショルダ部12の内径側端部12aとシールポイントspとを結ぶ直線Sが、継手軸に対してなす角度αが45°未満をなすよう、前記シールポイントの位置が設定されていることが好ましい。軸圧縮力はショルダ部で受ける構造になっているため、大きな軸圧縮力が作用する場合にはピン先端に塑性変形が生じることは不可避である。塑性変形は剪断方向である45度方向に進展していくため、ショルダ部の内径側端部とシールポイントを結ぶ直線の継手軸(軸圧縮力が負荷される方向)に対する傾きを45度未満とすることによりショルダ部の塑性変形のシール部への影響を抑制できシール性を確保できる。ここで、上記角度は実用的には15度以上となる。角度を極端に小さくするとピン先端の厚みが薄くなりすぎて、塑性変形や座屈が問題となる。先端の厚みの確保と前述のシールポイント位置の制約により15度未満での設計は成立しえない。発明者らは、ISO試験(ISO13679:2002)に規定された複合荷重負荷試験後の相当塑性ひずみ分布を有限要素解析(FEA)に求めたところ、図5に示すように、ピン3についてはショルダ部の内径側端部12aと外径側端部12bの近傍に大きな塑性変形が発生し、内径側端部12aに生じた変形は、剪断方向である継手軸方向に対して45度の方向に進展し、内径側端部12aから継手軸に対して45度の角度をもつ直線とノーズ部8の外周面との交差する位置Qよりも先端側では、後端側(雄ねじ部7のある側)よりも相当塑性ひずみが大きいことが明らかとなった。
なお、図5の結果は、外径5−1/2インチ、肉厚0.415インチ、鋼種P110の鋼管の端部に加工してなるピンと、これに対応するボックスからなるねじ継手に対してVME(Von Mises Equivalent stress)95%、圧縮率95%からなるシリーズAテスト(series A test)のロードスケジュールを負荷したものとして求めたものである。
したがって、シールポイントspを内径側端部12aから継手軸に対して45度の角度をもつ直線とノーズ部8の外周面との交差する位置Qよりも後端側に配置することで、つまり、ピン3のショルダ部12の内径側端部12aとシールポイントspとを結ぶ直線が継手軸に対してなす角度α(図4参照)が45°未満となるようにシールポイントの位置を設定することで、軸圧縮力負荷時のシールポイントspでの変形を抑制し、圧縮力負荷後でもよりシール性の確保が可能となる。
このテストは、シリーズAテストでの引張力(tensile force)/圧縮力(compressive force)と内圧(internal pressure)/外圧(external pressure)の複合荷重を負荷してシール性を評価するテストであり、ロードスケジュール(load schedule)はVME95%とAPI Collapse圧により定義される。ただし、最大圧縮率(maximum compression rate)(降伏応力YSに対する負荷最大圧縮応力の比率)は製造者が任意に設定することになっており、ねじ継手の性能と顧客要求(customer request)に応じて定めるものである。本テストでは、試験の最大圧縮率は80%とした。さらに、最大圧縮率80%の試験においてリークが発生しなかったねじ継手に対しては、80%を超える最大圧縮率を設定してシール試験を実施し、リークが発生しない最大圧縮率の上限を求めた。
表1に示されるとおり、本発明例は優れたシール性を有することが明らかである。
また、本発明例2と本発明例6とを比較すると、ピン3のショルダ部12の内径側端部12aとシールポイントspとを結ぶ直線が継手軸に対してなす角度αが45度未満となっている本発明例6のほうが、最大圧縮率の上限が大きい値を示し、耐圧縮性能が優れていることがわかる。同様に、本発明例3と本発明例7とを比較しても、角度αが45度未満となっている本発明例7のほうが、耐圧縮性能が優れていることがわかる。
