PIPE CONNECTORS

摘要

An improved pipe connector particularly suited for connecting pipes used in the drilling or completion of offshore oil or gas wells includes a tubular box member that telescopically engages a pin member. The latter has a frustoconical outer peripheral surface that is overlaid by a frusto-conical inner peripheral surface of the box member when the members are engaged. The members are axially locked together by annular projection and groove means extending circumferentially of the surfaces.
