MALE ELEMENT FOR A SEALED THREADED TUBULAR CONNECTION

摘要

Before tapered reduction swaging of the end region of a tube and machining in this region of a tapered male threading (2) and a male lip (3) to obtain a male tubular element for makeup into a female tubular element to form a sealed threaded tubular connection after diametrical expan­sion, the tube is shaped over a portion of its length to produce a cylindrical internal surface (20) which connects via a chamfer (21) to the cylindrical internal surface (10) of the lip (3) obtained subsequently by machining, the radius (R2) of the first surface being greater than the radius (R1) of the second surface. Application to hydrocarbon wells.
