Claims
- 1. A slim-type integral joint for oil well pipes having female and male threaded portions for threadingly joining a pin portion and a box portion, and metal seal portions located on the internal surface side of oil well pipes for guaranteeing gastightness against internal pressure or external pressure or both applied to the oil well pipes, and further having torque shoulder portions located on the external surface sides of the oil well pipes for regulating fastening torque, characterized in that it has a joint efficiency of at least 70%, an outermost diameter of the joint being larger than and at most 1.08 times an outermost diameter of the oil well pipe bodies, and the threaded portions have a cross section of a trapezoidal shape with a load flank angle (α) of the threads in the range of 0 to −20 degrees and a stabbing flank angle (θ) thereof in the range of 35 to 50 degrees.
- 2. A slim-type joint for oil well pipes as claimed in claim 1 wherein the cross section shape of the torque shoulder portions extends substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the pipes.
- 3. A slim-type joint for oil well pipes obtained by forming threads as claimed in claim 1 on API EUE (External Upset End) pipes.
- 4. A slim-type joint for oil well pipes as claimed in claim 1 wherein the load flank angle (α) of the threads is 0 to −15 degrees.
- 5. A slim-type joint for oil well pipes as claimed in claim 1 wherein the stabbing flank angle (Θ) if the threads is 40 to 50 degrees.
- 6. A slim-type joint for oil well pipes obtained by forming threads as claimed in claim 2 on API EUE (External Upset End) pipes.
- 7. A slim-type joint for oil well pipes as claimed in claim 2 wherein the load flank angle (α) of the threads is 0 to −15 degrees.
- 8. A slim-type joint for oil well pipes as claimed in claim 3 wherein the load flank angle (α) of the threads is 0 to −15 degrees.
- 9. A slim-type joint for oil well pipes as claimed in claim 2 wherein the stabbing flank angle (Θ) if the threads is 40 to 50 degrees.
- 10. A slim-type joint for oil well pipes as claimed in claim 3 wherein the stabbing flank angle (Θ) if the threads is 40 to 50 degrees.
- 11. A slim-type joint for oil well pipes as claimed in claim 4 wherein the stabbing flank angle (Θ) if the threads is 40 to 50 degrees.
