AN IMPROVED SEAL BETWEEN PIPES

A pipe joint comprises a pin having a male screw-threaded portion and a box having a complementary screw-threaded portion. The threaded portions of the pin and box inter-engage along the greater part of the axial length of the threaded portions, the male thread extending to a male stop shoulder adja...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A pipe joint comprises a pin having a male screw-threaded portion and a box having a complementary screw-threaded portion. The threaded portions of the pin and box inter-engage along the greater part of the axial length of the threaded portions, the male thread extending to a male stop shoulder adjacent a complementary stop shoulder on the other portion. The pin further comprises a radial surface adjacent a corresponding radial surface on the complementary stop shoulder of the box, a curved sealing surface of the radial surface on the pin sealingly engaging a corresponding curved sealing surface on the corresponding radial surface on the complementary stop shoulder. Each of the curved sealing surfaces is so shaped to lie on an arc of a separate ellipse. The parameters of the ellipses are carefully chosen to maximize the strength and robustness of the seal.
