Patent ID: 10295091

Abstract:
A threaded joint is adapted for tubes where the stress or the strain concentration hardly occur at a threaded corner portion of box side even when the threaded joint receives repeated tensile-compressive forces or repeated bending forces. In a radial seal type threaded joint, tensile efficiency TE (%) defined by a ratio Sc/Sp between a cross-sectional area Sc, an area of Critical Cross Section (CCS) including a portion where a tensile stress and a strain become the highest in a tube circumferential cross section of a box and a cross-sectional area Sp of a tube body satisfies formula TE (%)≥2.25×t/ρ+99.9 having a ratio t/ρ between an internal thread height t of the box and a radius of curvature ρ of a corner portion of internally-threaded bottom load surface side.
