Abstract
A pipe coupling or connection comprises a female coupling component and a mating male coupling component. Each component is matingly threaded for coupling engagement, and each is provided with an adjacent frusto-conical sealing surface. The sealing surface is provided with a controlled surface roughness, viz. very shallow fine surface variations, preferably formed as microgrooves at a pitch small relative to the pitch of the threads. The slope of the frusto-conical surface of the sealing surface of the male component is slightly mismatched with that of the sealing surface of the female component to simulate the bearing force vs. axial distance characteristic of shrunk-fit circular cylindrical sealing surfaces. The mismatch enables the sealing pressure to be above a design minimum throughout the entire sealing area yet higher at each end of the sealing area.
As the coupling is assembled, thread interference in the vicinity of the sealing surface lags the occurrence of interference between the sealing surfaces. Load threads are provided with negatively inclined load flank faces. The slope of the load thread pitch line of the male element is slightly steeper than the slope of the load thread pitch line of the female element.
Load thread interference values and tolerances are selected to enable the shrunk-fit cylindrical sealing surface simulation to be met over the range of tolerances provided. The envelope of the range of curves of interference vs. distance along the effective pin sealing surface area has a positive slope. The effective sealing area is at least about one-third and preferably at least about half of the available sealing area.
