Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for improving the fatigue resistance of a threaded tubular connection subjected to stress variations, said connection comprising a male tubular element including a tapered male threading, and a female tubular element including a tapered female threading which cooperates with the male threading by screwing to produce a rigid mutual connection of said tubular elements with radial interference between radial load transfer zones of said threadings.
- That type of threaded connection is primarily intended for the production pipe strings for hydrocarbon or the like wells .
- Said radial interference is primarily intended to prevent breakout of the threaded connections in service which would be catastrophic -, and it also renders the threaded connection far more monolithic.
- Threaded connections of that type are known in which radial interference is obtained by contact between thread crest and corresponding thread root, in particular between the crest of the female thread and the root of the male thread. Such contact zones between corresponding thread crests and roots then constitute radial load transfer zones for the threadings .
- the load flanks which, it will be recalled, are the flanks directed towards the side opposite to the free end of the tubular element under consideration, make an angle of 60° with respect to the axis of the threaded connection.
- the stabbing flanks are disposed symmetrically, making the same angle with the axis.
- the invention aims to overcome these disadvantages.
- the invention aims in particular at a method of the type defined in the introduction and provides that the threadings each have a load flank extending substantially perpendicular to the axis of the threadings, and provides that said radial load transfer zones are at a radial distance from the envelopes of the thread roots of the male and female threadings and form an angle of less than 40° with the axis of the threadings.
- envelope of the thread root means the tapered surface which envelops the thread roots which is furthest from the thread crests. Due to the radial separation of the radial load transfer zones with respect to the envelopes of the thread roots, the micro-cracks which can form therein are not affected by the tensile stresses existing in the material beyond the thread root envelope and thus do not deleteri- ously affect the fatigue resistance of the connection.
- Optional characteristics of the invention which may be complementary or substitutional, will be given below:
- said radial load transfer zones are constituted by i) the crest of at least one helical protuberance formed on the thread root of at least one threading with respect to the envelope of the thread root and ii) the facing zone located on the thread crest of the corresponding threading;
- the protuberance or protuberances is/are disposed on the male thread root
- the protuberances are connected to the thread root via one or more concave rounded portions;
- said protuberances are each constituted by the crest of a helical rib formed on the thread root of the threading under consideration;
- - said radial load transfer zones comprise the crests of at least two helical ribs which are in axial succession along the thread root of the male threading; - said radial load transfer zones comprise the crest of a boss extending from the foot of the load flank to the foot of the stabbing flank on the thread root of the threading under consideration;
- said radial load transfer zones comprise the crest of a boss bearing on one of the flanks of the threading under consideration;
- said facing zones located on the thread crest of the corresponding threading each have a recessed helix partially enveloping each protuberance;
- said radial load transfer zones are constituted by respective intermediate regions of the stabbing flanks of the male and female threadings, said intermediate regions forming a smaller angle with the axis of the threadings than the neighbouring regions of said flanks; - the angle between said intermediate regions and the axis of the threadings is substantially zero;
- said radial load transfer zones are ramps constituting the stabbing flanks of the male and female threadings over the major portion of the radial height thereof; - the angle between said ramps and the axis of the threadings is in the range 20° to 40°;
- the invention is implemented both in a zone of perfect threads and in a zone of imperfect threads, in particular in a zone of run-out threads;
- the profile of the male threading comprises a first concave rounded portion defining the thread root and tangential to said ramp;
- the profile of the male threading comprises a second concave rounded portion with a smaller radius of curva- ture than the first rounded portion and tangential thereto and to the load flank;
- a groove defining the female thread root extends axially from a first wall constituted by the load flank to a second wall which is connected to the ramp of the female threading;
- the profile of said groove comprises a central concave rounded portion framed by first and second rounded concave portions respectively tangential to said first and second walls and with a smaller radius of curvature than the central rounded portion;
- the profile of the female threading comprises a convex rounded portion tangential to a second rounded portion and to said ramp, the zone of inflexion between the convex rounded portion and the second rounded portion con- stituting the second wall.
- the invention also relates to a threaded tubular connection for implementing the above-defined method, comprising a male tubular element including a tapered male threading, and a female tubular element including a tapered female threading which cooperates with the male threading by screwing to produce a rigid mutual connection of said tubular elements with radial interference between radial load transfer zones of said threadings.
- the threaded connection comprises in accordance with the invention at least one of the following particularities:
- said radial load transfer zones are constituted by i) the crest of at least one helical protuberance formed on the thread root of at least one threading with respect to the envelope of the thread root and ii) the facing zone located on the thread crest of the corresponding threading;
- said radial load transfer zones comprise the crest of a boss extending from the foot of the load flank to the foot of the stabbing flank on the thread root of the threading under consideration;
- said radial load transfer zones comprise the crest of a boss bearing on one of the flanks of the threading under consideration;
- said radial load transfer zones are constituted by respective intermediate regions of the stabbing flanks of the male and female threadings, said intermediate regions forming a smaller angle with the axis of the threadings than the neighbouring regions of said flanks;
- said radial load transfer zones are ramps constituting the stabbing flanks of the male and female threadings over the major portion of the radial height thereof, and the profile of the male threading comprises a first con- cave rounded portion defining the thread root and tangential to said ramp;
- FIG. 1 to 6 are partial views in axial cross section of the threadings of different tubular connections of the invention.
- Figure 7 shows an application of the threads of Figure 1 on a male tubular element.
- the threaded tubular connection shown in part in Figure 1 comprises a male tubular element 1 and a female tubular element 2 respectively including a tapered male threading 3 and a tapered female threading 4.
- the female threading 4 has a conventional trapezoidal profile, defining a load flank 5 which extends substantially perpendicular to the axis of the threadings, i.e. vertically in the figure, the axis being horizontal, a stabbing flank 6 forming a different angle which is, however, close to 90° with the axis of the threadings, a thread root 7 and a thread crest 8 substantially parallel to the axis, the root 7 and crest 8 being connected to flanks 5 and 6 via rounded portions .
- the direction of the inclination of the flank 6 is such that the helical groove formed by the female threading shrinks in the direction of the root 7.
- the profile of the female threads 4 can in particular correspond to a profile designated in the American Petroleum Institute's specification API 5CT as a "buttress" profile.
- the "buttress" threading has a taper of 6.25% (1/16),
- the male threading 3 has a load flank 10, a stabbing flank 11 and a thread crest 12 located facing flanks 5 and
- the crest 12 and root 13 are connected to flanks 10 and 11 via rounded portions.
- the two ribs 14 with identical profiles and the same pitch as threadings 3 and 4 are offset with respect to each other in the axial direction to leave a fraction of flat bottom 13 between them, and two other fractions either side of the ribs.
- the ribs 14 have a rounded crest 15 defining a helical contact line between the rib and the female thread crest 8. They are also connected to the bottom of the male thread 13 via rounded portions . Because of the disposition of the invention, when threadings 3 and 4 are made up one into the other so that load flanks 5, 10 bear on each other and a radial interference fit is obtained between the elements 1 and 2, the radial loads transferred between elements 1 and 2 are transferred via the contact lines 15 which are at a radial distance from the thread root 13, so that microcracks which may form there because of stress variations or slight relative movements cannot develop, the tensile stresses only existing beneath the threading roots inside the envelope E of the thread root 13 (i.e. below this envelope in Figure 1) .
- a radial clearance subsists between the crest of the male thread 12 and the root of the female thread 7.
- An axial clearance also subsists between the stabbing flanks 6, 11, which axial clearance should advantageously be minimized.
- the radial clearance between the male thread crest 12 and the female thread root 7 is in particular a function of the rounded portion between this thread root and. the female load flank 5.
- the radius of curvature of this rounded portion should be maximized to limit stress concentrations which are deleterious to the fatigue resistance. This is the same for the rounded portion between the male load flank and the male thread root 13.
- Figure 2 shows part of a male tubular element la and a female tubular element 2a provided with respective threadings 3a and 4a.
- the male thread root 13a extends continuously parallel to the axis of the threadings facing the female thread crest 8.
- the stabbing flank of the male threading is in three portions, namely a portion 20 having substantially the same inclination as flanks 6 and 11 of Figure 1 and connecting via a rounded portion to root 13a, a portion 21 with the same inclination as portion 20, connecting via a rounded portion to the thread crest 12, and an intermediate portion 22 extending parallel to the axis and connecting to portions 20 and 21 via rounded portions.
- the stabbing flank of the female threading comprises three portions, namely portions 24 and 25 with the same inclination as portions 20 and 21, located respectively facing them and connected via rounded portions to the thread crest 8 and to the thread root 7 respectively, and an axially extending intermediate portion 26 facing the portion 22 and connected to portions 24 and 25via rounded portions.
- Figure 3 partially shows a male tubular element lb and a female tubular element 2b provided with respective threadings 3b, 4b.
- the load flanks 5, 10 of the female and male thread- ings extend substantially radially and their thread crests
- the thread roots and stabbing flanks their profiles are defined by a combination of straight lines and rounded portions which is described below, the values for the radii of curvature being indicated by way of example for a tubular connection belonging to a pipe string with an external diameter of 177.8 to 339.73 mm (7" to 13"3/8 ) .
- the rectilinear axial profile of the male thread crest 12 connects via a convex rounded portion 30 to the stabbing flank constituted by a straight line 31 which forms an angle of 27° with the axis and which moves away from the flank 5 in the direction of the axis.
- segment 31 is tangential to a concave rounded portion 32 with a large radius of curvature, more than 1 mm, for example of the order of 1.5 mm, which defines the male thread root, a further concave rounded portion 33 with a radius of curva- ture of 0.3 mm being tangential to the rounded portion 32 and to the radial rectilinear profile of the load flank 10.
- the double rounded portion 32 + 33 enables to minimize stress concentrations at the foot of the load flank 10.
- the axial rectilinear profile of the female thread crest 8 connects via a large radius of curvature convex rounded portion 35 to the stabbing flank constituted by a straight segment 36 with the same inclination as the segment 31.
- the segment 36 is tangential to a convex rounded portion 37 with a low radius of curvature which is itself tangential to a concave rounded portion 38, also with a low radius of curvature, the common tangent of the rounded portions 37 and 38 forming a zone of inflexion being inclined in the same direction as segments 31 and 36 and forming an angle of 70° with the axis.
- the rounded portion 38 is followed by two other concave rounded portions 39 and 40 the radii of curvature of which are more than and less than 1 mm respectively, the rounded portion 40 connecting to the load flank 5.
- the common tangent to the rounded portions 38 and 39 is orientated axially and defines the female thread root.
- the set of rounded portions 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 constitutes a kind of groove.
- the double rounded portion 39-40 enables to minimize the stress concentrations at the foot of the load flank 5.
- the zone of inflexion between the rounded portions 37, 38 constitutes one of the walls of said groove; the other wall is constituted by the load flank 5.
- the angle of 27° with respect to the axis of the stabbing flanks 31, 36 can minimize the torque generated by axial bearing of said flanks with respect to that generated by radial interference.
- An angle for the stabbing flank: with respect to the axis of more than 40° renders the contribution of axial bearing on the makeup torque preponderate and prejudicial. That angle is preferably kept below 30 ° . Further, too great an angle requires a substantial reduction in the tolerances on the thread width, which is detrimental to production costs for the threadings. Similarly, a sufficiently small angle enables to produce a certain flexibility in the thread crest, which enables to distribute the load over the load flank better.
- a stabbing flank angle of less than 20° with respect to the axis results in too much axial hindrance in the threads .
- Modifications can be made to the embodiments described and shown without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the two ribs 14 in Figure 1 can be replaced by a single rib or by three or more ribs.
- the crest of the ribs instead of being a point in axial cross section, can have a certain extent in the axial direction, resulting in a contact surface and not in contact line with the female thread crest.
- the ribs 14 are replaced by a boss 45 which extends between the foot of the male load flank 10 and the foot of the male stabbing flank 11 and which connects with the male thread root 13c.
- a boss 55 is connected on one side to the male load flank 5 and bears against it, and on the other side to the male thread root 13d.
- a rib 14e is present on the male thread root 13e and the female thread crest 8e has a recessed helix partially enveloping the rib 14e after making up the tubular elements le, 2e such that a radial clearance exists between the remaining portions of the female thread crest and the male thread root.
- the intermediate regions 22 and 26 of the stabbing flanks are not necessar- ily orientated axially, but can be slightly inclined with respect to the axis.
- the angle of the load flank can be slightly negative as described, for example, in International patent application WO-A-84/04352 or in the V ⁇ M TOP threaded connection sold by the Applicant (catalogue n° 940, publication date July 1994) .
- the angle of the stabbing flank can be less than 10° or more than 10°.
- Figure 7 shows the application of the invention as shown in Figure 1 to a threaded connection the male threading 3 of which includes a portion with perfect threads 43 of full height and similar to those shown in Figure 1 and a portion of run-out threads 44 of truncated height which progressively reduce from the full height at the junction with the portion 43 to zero when the envelope line E of the thread roots reaches the outer surface of the tube where the male threaded element is formed.
- the ribs 14 at the male thread root can advantageously be implanted both in the perfect thread zone 43 and in the run-out thread zone 44.
- the embodiment of Figure 7 can also be applied to the threadings of Figures 2 to 6.
- the invention can be applied to many types of radially interfering threads, with a single threaded portion or with a plurality of axially distinct threaded portions disposed on the same tapered surface or on a plurality of radially distinct tapered surfaces.
- the taper of the threadings can vary widely, for example between 5% and 20%.
- the thread roots and/or crests can be parallel to the axis of the connection instead of being disposed on cones, but the threadings will nevertheless retain a generally tapered disposition.
- the female tubular element can be disposed at the end of a great length tube the other end of which comprises a male tubular element; the connections are then said to be integral.
- the female tubular element can be disposed at the end of a coupling provided with two female tubular elements to constitute a threaded and coupled connection with the male tubular elements disposed at the end of great length tubes.
- the threaded connection can also comprise known means for axial positioning (abutment 41) and known sealing means 42.
