ТРУБЧАТОЕ СОЕДИНЕНИЕ СО СПИРАЛЬНО ПРОХОДЯЩИМ ВЫСТУПОМ ПЕРЕДАЧИ МОМЕНТА

摘要

A tubular connection includes a pin member and a box member. The pin member has a first thread structure and a helical torque shoulder spaced axially along the pin member from the first thread structure. The box member has a second thread structure and a second helical torque shoulder spaced axially along the box member from the second thread structure. The first thread structure and the second thread structure are sized and located to control a stab position of the tubular connection, and in the stab position the first helical torque shoulder does not engage or axially overlap with the second helical torque shoulder. A method of joining tubular members utilizing a helical torque shoulder is also provided.
