<p>The invention concerns a male threaded joint (1) tipped with a male lip (18)having a male seating face (13) and a male stop (14) transverse surface (16) proximate to the male seating face; and a female threaded element (21) comprising, for co-operation with the corresponding means of the male threaded element a female seating face (23) and a female stop transverse surface provided on a female shoulder and proximate to the female seating face. The annular female shoulder zone (24) which is subjected to axial compression forces resulting from the pressure of the male (16) and female (26) stop surfaces have an inner peripheral surface (27) whereof the diameter (IDB) is at least locally proximate to said female stop surface (26) smaller than the diameter (IDP) of the inner peripheral surface (17) of the male lip (18), the ratio R of said two diameters (IDB/IDP) being less than 1 but not less than 0.9.</p> |
