DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0017]
 [External pressure sealing performance]
 In the thick tubular threaded joint, closer to the external pressure value of API5C3 standards VME100% of external pressure values (i.e., not considering the collapse strength, yield load value of the material itself). When such a very high external pressure is loaded, the external pressure leaks in tubular threaded joint thick occurs.
[0018]
 The present inventors have intensively studied and, as a result, have revealed the cause of the external pressure leaks. That is, the screw having to be reduced in diameter across pin high external pressure is behind the metal seal penetrated, ahead metal seal is not reduced in diameter because external pressure to prevent entry of the result as a metal seal, than the pin of the male thread including a nose tip (hereinafter, referred to as "pin lip.") so that the warped outward in the radial direction. Therefore, the seal point is sealed suitably surface (surface roughness and surface treatment for metal seals formed are properly prepared, and surface familiar with moderate sliding during fitting engagement) to move distally of the pin beyond the and thus whether or because pin lip is strong contact with the inner peripheral surface of the box seal contact force decreases significantly, external pressure sealing performance is significantly reduced.
[0019]
 The present inventors Based on such a new finding, as the tip of the nose be load is high external pressure is not strong contact with the inner peripheral surface of the box, if defines the lower limit of the gap amount [delta], of the thick in tubular threaded joint was considered possible to prevent a significant reduction in external pressure sealing performance. The estimated amount of warping deformation of the nose during external pressure load (diameter of half) by an elastic cylindrical shell theory has identified preferred lower limit of the gap amount [delta].
[0020]
 [Pressure sealing performance]
 If the internal pressure is loaded, pin lip is enlarged, the effect of sealing contact force is amplified. However, the steel pipes of a large diameter and thick-walled, the wall thickness of the box is relatively thin relative to the pin, since the greater diameter of the box due to internal pressure load, the amplification effect of the seal contact force decreases. Accordingly, the present inventors have found that in order to improve the internal pressure sealing performance by increasing the amplification effect of the seal contact force, considered to be preferred value for seal thickness ratio of the pin and the box are present.
[0021]
 Based on the above findings, the present inventors have found that a threaded joint for steel pipes which can improve the internal pressure sealing performance while maintaining a high external pressure sealing performance of the nose with a threaded joint for use in steel tube of larger diameter and thicker It was invention.

[0043]
 Since the steel pipe outer diameter D and thickness t of the main body 2 is not constant exactly throughout the steel body 2, using the average outer diameter as the outer diameter D, it may be used an average thickness as the wall thickness t. The average outer diameter are those at positions 1 inch from the box end face of the fastened joint, measured in two directions perpendicular to the outer diameter of the steel pipe body 2 before fastening on average. The average wall thickness in the same was concluded one inch position from the box end face of the joint, in which the thickness of the circumference eight fastening preceding steel body 2 (45 ° pitch) were measured and averaged.

 In the nose 11 shown in FIG. 3, Pintepa surface 15 is formed substantially parallel to the box tapered surface 24. That is, the interval between Pintepa surface 15 and the box tapered surface 24 are substantially equally spaced. However, as shown in FIG. 4, the interval between Pintepa surface 15 and the box tapered surface 24 may be spread gradually toward the distal end of the nose 11. In this case, the region where pin seal surface 14 is in contact with the box sealing surface 23 when fastening the wider than the area of ​​the case shown in FIG. 3, it may be close to (line contact on longitudinal section) face contact. Therefore, the position in the tube axis direction CL of the pivot point PP may be different depending on the amount of warping deformation of the fastening force and the nose 11.
[0045]
 Having described embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be variously modified without departing from the spirit.
Example
[0046]
 To confirm the effect of the embodiment was conducted numerical simulation analysis by elasto-plastic finite element method.
[0047]
 
 The elastic-plastic finite element analysis, using a model of a threaded joint having the basic configuration shown in FIG. Common test conditions are as follows.
[0048]
 - steel dimensions: 14 inches, 100 # (outer diameter 355.6 mm, wall thickness 17.78 mm)
 , material: API (American Petroleum Institute) P110 steel standard (yield strength 862N / mm 2 , modulus 205KN / mm 2 , Poisson's ratio 0.3)
 in screw joints type: coupling type (outer diameter 386Mm)
 the shape and dimensions of the screw: a buttress-type trapezoidal thread, the load surface angle -3 °, the insertion surface angle 10 degrees, male thread height 1.978mm, screw pitch 6.35mm (4TPI), one of the screws tapered 1/16
 the size of the nose: L = 17Mm, T L = 10.3Mm
 -closing conditions: further 1/100 turn from the shoulder ring tightening
 · load
 condition: (1) pressure: steel pipe body yield strength of 100% for simple pressure load
 (2) external pressure: 100% yield strength of the steel pipe body (API5C3 standard 100%) Net external pressure load
[0049]
 Pressure is loaded on the inner peripheral surface of the pin and box, as well as the entire inner surface side from the contact portion of the metal seal (outer peripheral surface of the pin nose, the inner peripheral surface of the box corresponding to the pin nose, shoulder surfaces of the pin and box, etc.) .
[0050]
 External pressure, the outer circumferential surface of the pin and box, loaded on the outer surface side entire surface (such as a pin and box threaded surface) from the contact portion of the metal seal.
[0051]
 
 As shown in the following Table 1, after an analysis that simulates the fastening at the test conditions for the model 1-6, was calculated internal pressure tightness and external pressure sealability. Pressure or external pressure sealability is divided by the sealing contact force at the time of fastening the sealing contact force (seal contact force per unit circumferential length exactly) when the internal pressure or external pressure and loaded loading conditions described above (i.e. a reduction rate from the time of fastening of the seal contact force). Sealability is the ratio of the seal contact force under pressure applied load relative to the seal contact force at the time of fastening, good sealability larger value.
[0052]
[Table 1]

[0053]
 In this example, a 0.43mm> δ> 0.13mm. Therefore, the model 1 and 5 are examples, model 2-4 and 6 are comparative examples. Model 2 is the gap amount δ is an upper limit value (0.43 mm) or more. Model 3 and 6 is equal to or less than the gap amount δ is a lower limit value (0.13 mm). Model 4 is the thickness ratio t B / t L is the lower limit (1.4) or less.
[0054]
 The external pressure seal which is other than the model 4 shown in FIG. As it is apparent from this graph, external pressure sealability is remarkably changes the boundary of the lower limit value of the gap amount [delta]. That is, when the gap amount δ is less than or equal to the lower value, the external pressure sealability is greatly reduced. This nose 11 is a warped, its distal end is considered to hit the inner peripheral surface of the box 20.
[0055]
 For smaller model 4 than the lower limit wall thickness ratio, it is significantly lower pressure sealability. Model 2 has a model 1 and 5 equivalent pressure and external pressure sealability, the gap amount δ is not less than the upper limit, since the cutting amount increases, manufacturing cost increases.
[0056]
 These results threaded joint according to the example was found to be excellent in comparison with the threaded joint, the internal pressure tightness and external pressure tightness both according to the comparative example.
