Abstract

A threaded joint for oil well steel pipe is provided. The threaded joint includes a pin provided with a male thread, and a box provided with a female thread threadedly engaged with the male thread, and at an outer periphery side sealing portion, a cross-sectional area S1 of the pin at a seal point, and a cross-sectional area S0 of a pipe body portion, which is an unprocessed pin portion, satisfy an expression (S1/S0)×100≥15(%), at an inner periphery side sealing portion, a cross-sectional area S2 of the box at a seal point, and a cross-sectional area S0′ of a pipe body portion, which is an unprocessed box portion satisfy an expression (S2/S0′)×100≥20(%), and a surface area S3 of a contact portion of an intermediate shoulder between thread rows and the cross-sectional area S0 satisfy the expression (S3/S0)×100≥10(%).

Claims (15)

1. A threaded joint for oil well steel pipe comprising:

a pin having a male thread that is a male tapered thread at one end of a steel pipe; and

a box having a female thread that is a female tapered thread threadedly engaged with the male thread at an other end of a steel pipe,

the pin and the box forming radial seal structures which seals a fluid by metal contact with each other at two positions, one on an outer periphery side sealing portion of the pin on a pipe end side and one on an inner periphery side sealing portion of the box on a pipe end side, the threaded joint further comprising:

an intermediate shoulder formed between thread rows of the female and male tapered threads, wherein

on the outer periphery side sealing portion formed on the pin on the pipe end side,

a cross-sectional area S1 (mm2) of the pin at a seal point which is a portion on the outer peripheral surface of a nose portion on the pin side which comes into contact with the seal surface on the box side first, and a cross-sectional area S0 (mm2) of a pipe body portion, which is an unprocessed pin portion satisfy the following expression (1),

on the inner periphery side sealing portion formed on the box on the pipe end side,

a cross-sectional area S2 (mm2) of the box at a seal point, which is a portion on the inner peripheral surface of the pipe end portion on the box side which comes into contact with the seal surface on the pin side first and a cross-sectional area S0′ (mm2) of a pipe body portion, which is an unprocessed box portion satisfy the following expression (2), and

a surface area S3 (mm2) of a contact portion of the intermediate shoulder and the cross-sectional area S0 (mm2) of the pipe body portion, which is the unprocessed pin portion, satisfy the following expression (3),

( S 1/ S 0)×100≥15(%)  (1)

( S 2/ S 0′)×100≥20(%)  (2)

( S 3/ S 0)×100≥10(%)  (3).

2. The threaded joint for oil well steel pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the S1, the S0, the S2, and the S0′ satisfy the following expression (4),

( S 1/ S 0)≤( S 2/ S 0′)  (4).
