Abstract

An oil-well metal pipe according to the present disclosure includes a resin coating on or above at least one of a pin contact surface and a box contact surface. The resin coating contains: a resin: 50.0 to 99.5 mass %, a wax: 0 to 10.0 mass %, a fluorine-based additive: 0 to 30.0 mass %, graphite: 0 to 10.0 mass %, a rust preventive pigment: 0 to 30.0 mass %, a coloring pigment: 0 to 10.0 mass %, a coupling agent: 0 to 10.0 mass %, and one type or two types selected from a group consisting of a magnesium silicate hydroxide powder: 1.5 to 50.0 mass % and TiO 2 : 0.5 to 30.0 mass %; and satisfies Formula (1). ( W+F+G )/( M+T )≤5.00  (1)

Claims (29)

1 . An oil-well metal pipe, comprising:

a pipe main body including a first end portion and a second end portion;

wherein:

the pipe main body includes:

a pin formed at the first end portion, and

a box formed at the second end portion;

the pin includes:

a pin contact surface including an external thread part;

the box includes:

a box contact surface including an internal thread part;

the oil-well metal pipe further comprising:

a resin coating on or above at least one of the pin contact surface and the box contact surface;

the resin coating containing:

a resin: 50.0 to 99.5 mass %,

a wax: 0 to 10.0 mass %,

a fluorine-based additive: 0 to 30.0 mass %,

graphite: 0 to 10.0 mass %,

a rust preventive pigment: 0 to 30.0 mass %,

a coloring pigment: 0 to 10.0 mass %,

a coupling agent: 0 to 10.0 mass %, and

one type or two types selected from a group consisting of a magnesium silicate hydroxide powder: 1.5 to 50.0 mass % and TiO 2 : 0.5 to 30.0 mass %;

and satisfying Formula (1):

( W+F+G )/( M+T )≤5.00  (1)

where, in Formula (1), a content in mass % of the wax is substituted for W, a content in mass % of the fluorine-based additive is substituted for F, a content in mass % of the graphite is substituted for G, a content in mass % of the magnesium silicate hydroxide powder is substituted for M, and a content in mass % of the TiO 2 is substituted for T.

2 . The oil-well metal pipe according to claim 1 , wherein:

the resin is one type or two types selected from a group consisting of epoxy resin and urethan resin.

3 . The oil-well metal pipe according to claim 1 or claim 2 , wherein:

the pin contact surface further includes a pin sealing surface and a pin shoulder surface, and

the box contact surface further includes a box sealing surface and a box shoulder surface.
