Description

本発明は、油井管またはガス井管に関する。 The present invention relates to an oil well pipe or a gas well pipe.

例えば油井や天然ガス井等(以下、単に「油井」という。)の使用環境は、年々厳しくなっており、油井に用いられる油井管やガス井管等の鋼管を相互に連結するためのねじ継手には、強大な軸力に耐え、かつ高い気密性を有することが、ともに要求される。このねじ継手には様々な種類がある。図7および図8は、いずれも、この種のねじ継手の一例を部分的に示す説明図である。   For example, the use environment of oil wells, natural gas wells, etc. (hereinafter simply referred to as “oil wells”) is becoming stricter year by year, and threaded joints for connecting steel pipes such as oil well pipes and gas well pipes used in oil wells to each other. It is required to endure a strong axial force and to have high airtightness. There are various types of threaded joints. 7 and 8 are explanatory views partially showing an example of this type of threaded joint.

図7に示すねじ継手は、API(米国石油協会)規格のSTD5Bに規定された台形ねじを有するバットレス継手1である。同図に示すように、バットレス継手1は、鋼管2の先端にテーパ雄ねじ3および不完全ねじ部4を有するピン部5と、カップリング6の両端内部に設けられたテーパ雌ねじ部7を有するボックス部8とからなる。テーパ雄ねじ3は、外削加工を行われた平滑な外削面に形成される。   The threaded joint shown in FIG. 7 is a buttress joint 1 having a trapezoidal screw defined in API (American Petroleum Institute) standard STD5B. As shown in the figure, a buttress joint 1 is a box having a pin portion 5 having a tapered male screw 3 and an incomplete screw portion 4 at the tip of a steel pipe 2 and tapered female screw portions 7 provided inside both ends of a coupling 6. Part 8. The taper male screw 3 is formed on a smooth outer surface that has been subjected to the outer processing.

また、図8に示すねじ継手は、いわゆる特殊継手9である。この特殊継手9は、鋼管10の先端にテーパ雄ねじ11および不完全ねじ部12を有するピン部13と、カップリング14の両端内部に設けられたテーパ雌ねじ部15を有するボックス部16とからなる。テーパ雄ねじ11は、外削加工を行われた平滑な外削面に形成される。さらに、ピン部13の先端にはトルクショルダ用ねじ無し部17が形成されるとともに、ボックス部16の内奥にはトルクショルダ用ねじ無し部17が当接して過剰な締め付けを防止する受け面18が形成される。また、トルクショルダ用ねじ無し部17に連続するメタルシール部19およびこれに当接するボックスメタルシール部20によりメタルタッチのシール面が形成され、これにより気密性が高められる。   Further, the threaded joint shown in FIG. The special joint 9 includes a pin portion 13 having a tapered male screw 11 and an incomplete thread portion 12 at the tip of a steel pipe 10 and a box portion 16 having tapered female screw portions 15 provided inside both ends of the coupling 14. The taper male screw 11 is formed on a smooth outer surface that has been subjected to external machining. Further, a torque shoulder unthreaded portion 17 is formed at the tip of the pin portion 13, and the torque shoulder unthreaded portion 17 is in contact with the inside of the box portion 16 to prevent excessive tightening. Is formed. Further, a metal seal seal surface is formed by the metal seal portion 19 continuous to the torque shoulder unthreaded portion 17 and the box metal seal portion 20 in contact with the metal seal portion 19, thereby improving the airtightness.

しかし、これらの従来のねじ継手1、9には、以下に列記する課題1および課題2がある。
(課題1)
図7に示すバットレス継手1のピン部5における不完全ねじ部4や、図8に示す特殊継手9のピン部13における不完全ねじ部12に設けられたねじ山には、ねじ切りに伴って、かえりが発生する。
However, these conventional threaded joints 1 and 9 have problems 1 and 2 listed below.
(Problem 1)
The thread provided in the incomplete thread portion 4 in the pin portion 5 of the buttress joint 1 shown in FIG. 7 or the incomplete thread portion 12 in the pin portion 13 of the special joint 9 shown in FIG. A burr occurs.

図9(a)は、かえり4b(12b)が発生したねじ山4a(12a)を示す説明図であり、図10(a)はかえり4b(12b)がテーパ雌ねじ部7(15)と干渉する状況を示す説明図である。図9(a)に示すように、不完全ねじ部4(12)に設けられたねじ山4a(12a)にはかえり4b(12b)が発生する。また、図7に示すバットレス継手1のピン部5や、図8に示す特殊継手9のピン部13には、いずれも、テーパ雄ねじ3、11が形成されている。このため、かえり4b(12b)が発生した不完全ねじ部4(12)のねじ山径は、管外径を超えてしまう。発生したかえり4b(12b)は、図10(a)に示すように、特に、海上油田等の鋼管2、10が安定しない状況での使用中にテーパ雌ねじ部7(15)と接触、干渉するため、締付けトルクの異常な上昇や、ねじ部の焼き付きを発生させてしまう。   FIG. 9A is an explanatory view showing the thread 4a (12a) where the burr 4b (12b) is generated, and FIG. 10A is a diagram where the burr 4b (12b) interferes with the taper female thread portion 7 (15). It is explanatory drawing which shows a condition. As shown in FIG. 9A, a burr 4b (12b) is generated in the thread 4a (12a) provided in the incomplete thread portion 4 (12). Further, tapered male threads 3 and 11 are formed on the pin portion 5 of the buttress joint 1 shown in FIG. 7 and the pin portion 13 of the special joint 9 shown in FIG. For this reason, the thread diameter of the incomplete thread portion 4 (12) where the burr 4b (12b) is generated exceeds the outer diameter of the pipe. As shown in FIG. 10 (a), the generated burr 4b (12b) contacts and interferes with the taper female thread portion 7 (15) particularly during use in a situation where the steel pipes 2 and 10 of the offshore oil field or the like are not stable. For this reason, an abnormal increase in the tightening torque or seizure of the threaded portion occurs.

このため、図9(a)に示すようにかえり4b(12b)が発生した場合には、バフ砥石等を用いてこのかえり4b(12b)を研削除去する必要がある。図9(b)は、バフ砥石等を用いてかえり4b(12b)の研削除去が行われた後のねじ山4a(12a)を示す説明図であり、図10(b)はかえり4b(12b)がテーパ雌ねじ部7(15)と干渉する状況を示す説明図である。しかし、この手段でも、図9(b)に示すように、かえり4b(12b)が管長手方向へ倒れ込んでしまうため、図10(b)に示すように、テーパ雌ねじ部7(15)との接触、干渉がかえって強まってしまう。   For this reason, when the burr 4b (12b) is generated as shown in FIG. 9A, it is necessary to grind and remove the burr 4b (12b) using a buffing grindstone or the like. FIG. 9B is an explanatory view showing the thread 4a (12a) after the burr 4b (12b) is ground and removed using a buffing wheel or the like, and FIG. 10B is a burr 4b (12b). ) Is an explanatory diagram showing a situation where the taper female thread portion 7 (15) interferes. However, even with this means, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), the burr 4b (12b) falls down in the longitudinal direction of the pipe, and as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the taper female thread portion 7 (15) and Contact and interference become stronger.

また、不完全ねじ部4、12のねじ切りの際、鋼管2、10のこのねじ切り部は外削加工を行われていないために真円ではなく、周長方向への切削負荷が不均一となる。このため、径方向へのかえり4b、12bの大きさが不均一となり、バフ砥石等を用いてもかえり4b、12bを完全に除去することは困難であった。   In addition, when threading the incomplete thread portions 4 and 12, the threaded portions of the steel pipes 2 and 10 are not rounded and thus are not perfect circles, and the cutting load in the circumferential direction becomes uneven. . For this reason, the sizes of the burr 4b and 12b in the radial direction are not uniform, and it is difficult to completely remove the burr 4b and 12b even if a buffing grindstone or the like is used.

従来のねじ継手1、9では、このように、かえり4b、12bとテーパ雌ねじ部7、15との接触・干渉を完全に防止することは不可能であったため、締め付けトルクのハンピング(波打ち)が発生する。   In the conventional threaded joints 1 and 9, it was impossible to completely prevent the contact / interference between the burr 4b and 12b and the taper female thread portions 7 and 15 as described above. appear.

図11は、ねじ山にかえり4b、12bが発生した不完全ねじ部4、12を有する継手について、発生トルク(締め付けトルク)に及ぼす締め付け回数の影響を示すグラフである。同図にグラフで示すように、不完全ねじ部4、12にかえり4b、12bが発生すると、締付けトルクのハンピング(波打ち状の増減現象)が発生し、締付けトルクにばらつきが発生して不完全締め付けとなり、ねじ部での焼き付きが発生することがあった。   FIG. 11 is a graph showing the influence of the number of tightening times on the generated torque (tightening torque) for a joint having incomplete thread portions 4 and 12 in which burr 4b and 12b are generated on the thread. As shown in the graph, if burr 4b or 12b is generated on incomplete screw parts 4 or 12, tightening torque humping (a wavy increase or decrease phenomenon) occurs, resulting in inconsistent tightening torque. Tightening occurred and seizure occurred at the thread.

この焼き付きは、ねじ継手性能を低下させるため、焼き付きの有無を確認するために締め付けたねじ継手を一旦締め戻す必要もあった。このため、かえりの発生に起因して、油井での降管作業時間が長時間化していた。
(課題2)
Since this seizure deteriorates the thread joint performance, it is also necessary to retighten the threaded joint that has been tightened to confirm the presence or absence of seizure. For this reason, due to the occurrence of burr, the downcomer operation time in the oil well has been prolonged.
(Problem 2)

ねじ継手1、9のピン部5、13の加工は、ねじ切り加工工具を回転させずに鋼管2、10を軸線上に回転させるか、または鋼管2、10を回転させずにねじ切り加工工具を回転させることのいずれかの手段により、行われてきた。しかし、前者の鋼管2、10を回転させる手段は、同時に加工を行うことができるねじ切り加工工具数に制限があるために加工パス回数が増加し、かつ、管の回転始動や停止等に多くの時間を必要とするため、後者のねじ切り加工工具を回転させる手段が多用されるようになってきた。近年、これらの加工では、加工能率向上を図るため、内面加工、外削加工およびシール部粗加工をいずれも行う前加工機と、ねじ切り、外削加工およびシール部仕上げ加工をいずれも行う仕上げ加工機との2台の加工機を用いて行われるようになってきた。この仕上げ加工機には芯出しチャックが附帯して設けられており、この芯出しチャックにより鋼管2、10の先端側の傾斜部を掴持することにより、前加工機の回転軸と仕上げ加工機との回転軸とを一致させている。   The processing of the pin portions 5 and 13 of the threaded joints 1 and 9 is performed by rotating the steel pipes 2 and 10 on the axis without rotating the threading tool, or rotating the threading tool without rotating the steel pipes 2 and 10. Has been done by any means of However, the former means for rotating the steel pipes 2 and 10 increases the number of machining passes due to the limited number of threading tools that can be machined at the same time. Since time is required, the latter means for rotating the threading tool has been frequently used. In recent years, in these processes, in order to improve the processing efficiency, a pre-processing machine that performs all of internal machining, external machining, and rough seal processing, and finish machining that performs all of threading, external machining, and seal finishing. It has come to be performed using two processing machines. This finishing machine is provided with a centering chuck, and the centering chuck grips the inclined portion on the tip side of the steel pipes 2 and 10 so that the rotary shaft of the pre-processing machine and the finishing machine are held. And the rotation axis are made to coincide.

しかし、前加工機と仕上げ加工機との2台の加工機でねじ継手1、9のピン部5、13を加工すると、例えば、芯出しチャックと加工される油井管との間にねじ切削の切粉等が噛み込んで管本体チャックが芯ずれした状態でチャックされてしまうことがある。この場合、前加工機で加工した際の鋼管の芯と、仕上げ加工機で加工した際の鋼管の芯とがずれて配置されてしまう。また、これまで、芯ずれ精度を管理する方法は存在せず、またその管理値も規定されていなかった。このため、この状態で加工された油井管継手は、上述したテーパ雄ねじ部3、11や不完全ねじ部4、12に対する加工が不十分になる可能性が高く、油井で使用された場合に気密性能が確保されなくなって加工不良率を増加させてしまう。また、何とか加工できたとしても、シール部を有する管端肉厚が不均一になり、やはり気密性能を低下させてしまう。   However, when the pin portions 5 and 13 of the threaded joints 1 and 9 are processed by two processing machines, a pre-processing machine and a finishing processing machine, for example, screw cutting is performed between the centering chuck and the oil well pipe to be processed. There is a case where the chip is chucked in a state where the chip is misaligned and the tube main body chuck is misaligned. In this case, the core of the steel pipe when processed by the pre-processing machine and the core of the steel pipe when processed by the finishing machine are shifted from each other. Until now, there has been no method for managing the misalignment accuracy, and the control value has not been defined. For this reason, the oil well pipe joint processed in this state is highly likely to be insufficiently processed with respect to the tapered male thread portions 3 and 11 and the incomplete thread portions 4 and 12, and is airtight when used in an oil well. Performance is not ensured and the processing defect rate is increased. Moreover, even if it can somehow be processed, the tube end thickness having the seal portion becomes non-uniform, and the airtight performance is also lowered.

このように、従来のねじ継手1、9のピン部5、13の加工では、かえりの発生に起因して締付けトルクのハンピングが発生したり、前加工機と仕上げ加工機との2台の加工機でねじ継手1、9のピン部5、13を加工する場合の芯ずれに起因して気密不良が発生してしまうという課題があった。   As described above, in the processing of the pin portions 5 and 13 of the conventional threaded joints 1 and 9, humming of the tightening torque occurs due to the occurrence of burr, or two processes of the pre-processing machine and the finishing machine are performed. There has been a problem that a hermetic failure occurs due to misalignment when the pin portions 5 and 13 of the threaded joints 1 and 9 are machined.

本発明の目的は、これらの課題を解決すること、具体的には、かえりの発生に起因した締め付けトルクのハンピング、ねじ部での焼き付きさらには油井での降管作業時間の長時間化をいずれも解決するとともに、前加工機と仕上げ加工機との2台の加工機でピン部を加工した場合の芯ずれ、加工不良率の低下さらには気密不良の発生をいずれも解決することができる油井管またはガス井管を提供することである。   The object of the present invention is to solve these problems, specifically, to tighten the tightening torque due to the occurrence of burr, seize on the threaded portion, and lengthen the downcomer operation time in the oil well. Oil well that can solve both of misalignment, lowering of processing defect rate, and occurrence of poor airtightness when the pin part is processed by two processing machines, a pre-processing machine and a finishing machine. To provide a pipe or gas well.

本発明者は、上記課題を解決するために鋭意検討を重ねた結果、従来にはねじ切り前における外削加工を一切行われていない不完全ねじ部の形成範囲にも、ねじ切り前に外削加工を行って外削加工部を形成し、この外削加工部にねじ切りを行って不完全ねじ部を形成することにより、
(i)不完全ねじ部の周長上におけるかえりの発生を均一化および最小化でき、かえり取りを確実かつ容易に行うことができること、
As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor has performed cutting before screw cutting even in the formation range of an incomplete screw portion that has not been conventionally cut at all before screw cutting.

(ii)かえり取りを確実かつ容易に行うことができるため、油井使用時の締め付けトルクの異常な変化やねじ部の焼き付きの発生を、いずれも防止できること、
(iii)不完全ねじ部の形成範囲には外削加工を行わない従来の加工方法では、不完全ねじ部は、鋼管肌を呈しており不連続な凹凸がある。このため、ねじ切り時にねじ切り加工工具の欠損が多発していた。しかし、ねじ切り前に外削加工を行って外削加工部を形成することにより、加工中のねじ切り加工工具に作用する負荷が安定し、工具寿命が著しく向上すること、および
(Ii) Since burr removal can be performed reliably and easily, it is possible to prevent any abnormal change in tightening torque and oil thread seizure when using an oil well.
(Iii) In the conventional machining method in which the external machining is not performed in the formation range of the incomplete thread portion, the incomplete thread portion has a steel pipe skin and has discontinuous irregularities. For this reason, the threading tool was frequently damaged during threading. However, by performing external machining before threading to form the external machining part, the load acting on the threading tool during machining is stabilized, the tool life is significantly improved, and

(iv)前加工機と仕上げ加工機との2台の加工機でねじ継手を加工する際に、仕上げ加工機でのシール部加工取り代を一定量残して前加工機で加工した後、仕上げ加工機の芯出し時には、上記の外削加工部を利用して本体チャックを行うことにより、本体チャックの芯ずれが仕上げ加工機でのシール部加工取り代以上発生した場合には前加工不良と判断して加工を中止することができ、テーパ雄ねじ部および不完全ねじ部の未加工部を解消できること
という極めて有用な効果が奏されることを知見し、さらに検討を重ねて本発明を完成した。
(Iv) When processing threaded joints with two processing machines, a pre-processing machine and a finishing machine, after finishing with a pre-processing machine, leaving a certain amount of machining allowance for the seal part in the finishing machine. When centering the processing machine, use the above-mentioned external machining part to perform main body chucking, so if the center chuck misalignment occurs more than the seal part processing allowance in the finishing machine, Judging that it is possible to stop the processing and find out that the taper male thread part and the unprocessed part of the incomplete thread part can be eliminated, the present invention has been completed through further studies. .

以下、本発明にかかる油井管またはガス井管の実施の形態を、添付図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。なお、以降の説明では、油井管を用い、継手がバットレス継手であるとともに、ねじ切り加工工具を回転させてねじ切りを行う場合を例にとる。
〔鋼管21〕
図1(a)は、本実施形態の鋼管21の不完全ねじ部22を拡大して示す説明図であり、図1(b)は、従来の不完全ねじ部22の噛み合いを示す説明図であり、図1(c)は、本実施形態の不完全ねじ部22の噛み合いを示す説明図である。
DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of an oil well pipe or a gas well pipe according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, an oil well pipe is used, the joint is a buttress joint, and the threading tool is rotated to perform threading.
[Steel pipe 21]
FIG. 1A is an explanatory view showing an enlarged incomplete thread portion 22 of the steel pipe 21 of the present embodiment, and FIG. 1B is an explanatory view showing meshing of the conventional incomplete thread portion 22. FIG. 1 (c) is an explanatory view showing the meshing of the incomplete thread portion 22 of the present embodiment.

図1(a)に示すように、本実施形態の鋼管21は、外径がdであって、管端部外面に、テーパ雄ねじ部23と、テーパ雄ねじ部23に隣接する不完全ねじ部22とを備える。 As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the steel pipe 21 of the present embodiment has an outer diameter of a d 0, the pipe end outer surface, a tapered male screw portion 23, the incomplete threaded portion adjacent the tapered male screw portion 23 22.

本実施形態におけるテーパ雄ねじ部23は、公知のバットレス継手のテーパ雄ねじ部と同じであるため、説明を省略する。
不完全ねじ部22は、管端部外面に、管軸方向についてテーパ雄ねじ部23に隣接して形成される。この不完全ねじ部22の少なくとも一部は、外削加工を行われた外削加工部24に形成される。
Since the taper male screw part 23 in this embodiment is the same as the taper male screw part of a well-known buttress joint, description is abbreviate | omitted.
The incomplete thread portion 22 is formed on the outer surface of the tube end portion adjacent to the tapered male thread portion 23 in the tube axis direction. At least a part of the incomplete thread portion 22 is formed in the outer cutting portion 24 that has been subjected to the outer cutting processing.

すなわち、従来は、テーパ雄ねじ部23の形成範囲だけ外削加工が行われ、不完全ねじ部22の形成範囲には外削加工は行われていなかった。これに対して、本実施形態の鋼管21では、テーパ雄ねじ部23の形成範囲だけでなく不完全ねじ部22の形成範囲にも外削加工が行われている。   That is, conventionally, the outer cutting is performed only in the formation range of the tapered male screw portion 23, and the outer cutting is not performed in the formation range of the incomplete screw portion 22. On the other hand, in the steel pipe 21 of the present embodiment, not only the formation range of the tapered male screw portion 23 but also the formation range of the incomplete screw portion 22 is subjected to external cutting.

また、この本実施形態における外削加工部24は、テーパ雄ねじ部23の形成領域における管外径の最大値dと同じ値で略一定である管外径dを有するように、形成される。外削加工部24は、テーパ雄ねじ部23および不完全ねじ部22を形成する前に、外削加工を行われることにより、形成される。 Further, the outer cutting portion 24 in the present embodiment is formed so as to have a tube outer diameter d 3 that is substantially the same as the maximum value d 2 of the tube outer diameter in the formation region of the tapered male screw portion 23. The The external cutting portion 24 is formed by performing external cutting before forming the tapered male screw portion 23 and the incomplete screw portion 22.

また、図1(a)に示すように、本実施形態では、不完全ねじ部22の全域ではなく、ねじ切り上がり部25の2山手前まで外削加工を行ってある。これにより、ピン部およびボックス部それぞれのねじ山噛み合いの最終位置を、従来のバットレス継手のねじ山噛み合いの最終位置と同じにすること、すなわち継手強度≧管本体強度とすることができ、継手の引張性能を低下させない。ねじ切り上がり部25の2山手前までの部分は、継手締め付けの最終段階で、ボックスねじ部と接触するため、ピン部およびボックス部それぞれの一直線性が確保される。したがって、締め付け状態への影響が小さくなり、締め付けトルクの異常な変化やねじ部焼き付きを発生させない。   Further, as shown in FIG. 1A, in this embodiment, the external machining is performed not to the entire area of the incomplete thread portion 22 but to the two threads before the thread cut-up portion 25. As a result, the final position of thread engagement of the pin part and the box part can be made the same as the final position of thread engagement of the conventional buttress joint, that is, joint strength ≧ pipe body strength. Does not reduce the tensile performance. Since the portion up to two threads before the thread cut-up portion 25 comes into contact with the box screw portion at the final stage of the joint tightening, the linearity of each of the pin portion and the box portion is ensured. Therefore, the influence on the tightening state is reduced, and an abnormal change in the tightening torque or seizure of the thread portion does not occur.

また、この本実施形態のバットレス継手を油井で締め付ける際、鋼管21が傾斜配置されると、図1(b)に示す従来の不完全ねじ部22はテーパ雌ねじ部7に干渉するのに対して、図1(c)に示す本実施形態の不完全ねじ部22は、外削加工量d(=d−d)だけねじ山の高さ、すなわちかえりの高さが低減されるため、不完全ねじ部22はテーパ雌ねじ部7に干渉しなくなる。
〔鋼管21のねじ切り方法〕
次に、本実施形態のこの鋼管21のねじ切り方法を説明する。
Further, when the steel pipe 21 is inclined when the buttress joint of this embodiment is tightened with an oil well, the conventional incomplete thread portion 22 shown in FIG. 1B interferes with the tapered female thread portion 7. In the incomplete thread portion 22 of this embodiment shown in FIG. 1C, the height of the thread, that is, the height of the burr is reduced by the amount of external machining d 1 (= d 0 −d 2 ). The incomplete thread portion 22 does not interfere with the tapered female thread portion 7.
[Threading method of steel pipe 21]
Next, the threading method of this steel pipe 21 of this embodiment is demonstrated.

図2は、本実施形態において、内削工具26および外削工具27を有する前加工機28により、鋼管21に内面加工、外削加工およびシール部粗加工をいずれも行う状況を模式的に示す説明図である。また、図3は、本実施形態において、ねじ切り加工工具29およびシール加工工具30を有する仕上げ加工機31により、前加工機28による前加工を行われた鋼管21に、ねじ切り加工、外削加工およびシール部仕上げ加工をいずれも行う状況を模式的に示す説明図である。さらに、図4は、本実施形態の鋼管21のねじ切り方法の工程を模式的に示すフロー図である。   FIG. 2 schematically shows a state in which all of the inner surface machining, the outer machining and the seal portion rough machining are performed on the steel pipe 21 by the pre-machining machine 28 having the inner cutting tool 26 and the outer cutting tool 27 in the present embodiment. It is explanatory drawing. Further, FIG. 3 shows that in this embodiment, the steel pipe 21 pre-processed by the pre-processing machine 28 by the finishing machine 31 having the thread cutting tool 29 and the seal processing tool 30 is threaded, externally cut and It is explanatory drawing which shows typically the condition which performs all seal part finishing processes. Furthermore, FIG. 4 is a flowchart schematically showing the steps of the thread cutting method for the steel pipe 21 of the present embodiment.

図2および図4に示すように、内削工具26、外削工具27および図示しない端面加工工具を有する前加工機28により、鋼管21の外面に外削加工を行って傾斜部32と水平部33とを形成する。すなわち、傾斜部32と水平部33とは、いずれも、図1における外削加工部24を構成する。   As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the outer surface of the steel pipe 21 is subjected to external cutting by the pre-processing machine 28 having the internal cutting tool 26, the external cutting tool 27, and an end surface processing tool (not shown), and the inclined portion 32 and the horizontal portion. 33. That is, both the inclined portion 32 and the horizontal portion 33 constitute the outer cutting portion 24 in FIG.

後続して行われるねじ切り加工によって、傾斜部32にテーパ雄ねじ部23の形成されるとともに水平部33に不完全ねじ部22が形成される。
また、前加工機28により、鋼管21の端面加工および内面加工が行われる。これらの加工の際、シール部の加工径を仕上げ寸法よりも一定量大きくしておくことが望ましい。なお、本実施形態では、内削加工または端面加工を前加工機28により行うこととしたが、これらの加工は、いずれも、仕上げ加工機31により行うようにしてもよい。
By subsequent threading, the tapered male screw portion 23 is formed on the inclined portion 32 and the incomplete screw portion 22 is formed on the horizontal portion 33.
Moreover, the end surface processing and the inner surface processing of the steel pipe 21 are performed by the pre-processing machine 28. At the time of these processes, it is desirable to make the processing diameter of the seal part a certain amount larger than the finished dimension. In the present embodiment, the internal machining or the end face machining is performed by the pre-machining machine 28, but any of these machining may be performed by the finishing machine 31.

このようにして前加工を行われた鋼管21に対して、図3および図4に示すように、外削加工された水平部33に、仕上げ加工機31に設けられた芯出しチャック34を接触させることにより前加工機28における加工時の芯位置と、仕上げ加工機31における加工時の芯位置とを一致させる。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the centering chuck 34 provided in the finishing machine 31 is brought into contact with the externally machined horizontal portion 33 as shown in FIGS. By doing so, the core position at the time of processing in the pre-processing machine 28 and the core position at the time of processing in the finishing machine 31 are matched.

図5は、鋼管21を芯出しチャック34によりチャックする状況を模式的に示す説明図である。図4および図5に示すように、2基の芯出しチャック34、34の径方向移動量a、bに合わせて移動する管本体チャック35で鋼管21をチャックする際に、2基の芯出しチャック34、34の移動量a、bの差(a−b)を求めることにより、芯出しチャック34の位置と管本体チャック35の径方向位置とが、前加工機28により前加工の際に残した仕上げ加工機31でのねじ、シール部取り代以上にずれないように、管本体チャック35の移動量を管理する。   FIG. 5 is an explanatory view schematically showing a state in which the steel pipe 21 is chucked by the centering chuck 34. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the steel pipe 21 is chucked by the pipe body chuck 35 that moves in accordance with the radial movement amounts a and b of the two centering chucks 34, 34, the two centering chucks 34, 34 are aligned. By obtaining the difference (ab) between the movement amounts a and b of the chucks 34 and 34, the position of the centering chuck 34 and the radial position of the tube main body chuck 35 are determined in the pre-processing by the pre-processing machine 28. The amount of movement of the tube main body chuck 35 is managed so as not to deviate more than the remaining screw and seal part removal in the finishing machine 31.

すなわち、差(a−b)が仕上げ加工機31でのねじ、シール部取り代以上存在する場合には、まず鋼管21の水平部33における切り粉の有無を確認し、切り粉があるときには切り粉を除去して再度芯出しチャック34による芯出しを行い、一方、切り粉がないときには前加工不良があると判断して、管本体チャック35を作動させずに仕上げ加工を中断し、前加工機28により前加工に戻る。本実施形態では、このようにして、テーパ雄ねじ部23および不完全ねじ部22の加工不良が未然に防止される。   That is, when the difference (ab) exists more than the screw and seal part removal allowance in the finishing machine 31, first, the presence or absence of swarf in the horizontal part 33 of the steel pipe 21 is confirmed. The powder is removed and centering is performed again by the centering chuck 34. On the other hand, if there is no swarf, it is determined that there is a pre-processing defect, and the finishing process is interrupted without operating the tube main body chuck 35. The machine 28 returns to the pre-processing. In this embodiment, in this way, processing defects of the tapered male screw portion 23 and the incomplete screw portion 22 are prevented in advance.

図6は、従来の仕上げ加工機に附帯して設けられた芯出しチャック34を示す説明図である。図6に示すように、従来は、鋼管21の傾斜部32に芯出しチャック34を接触させて芯出しを行っていたが、傾斜部32は軸方向で管の外削径が変動するために芯出しチャック34が鋼管21の傾斜部32に接触する位置が管軸方向に少しでも変動すると、芯出しチャック34の移動量の検出値も変動してしまい、芯ズレ防止装置の管理精度が低下してしまう。これに対し、本実施形態では、水平部33を用いて芯出しを行うため、芯出しチャック34が鋼管21の水平部33に接触する位置が管軸方向に変動しても、前加工機28における加工時の芯位置と、仕上げ加工機31における加工時の芯位置とを高精度で一致させることができる。   FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing a centering chuck 34 attached to a conventional finishing machine. As shown in FIG. 6, conventionally, the centering chuck 34 is brought into contact with the inclined portion 32 of the steel pipe 21, and the centering is performed. However, the inclined portion 32 has a variation in the outer diameter of the tube in the axial direction. If the position where the centering chuck 34 is in contact with the inclined portion 32 of the steel pipe 21 varies even in the tube axis direction, the detected value of the amount of movement of the centering chuck 34 also varies, and the management accuracy of the center misalignment prevention device decreases. Resulting in. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the centering is performed using the horizontal portion 33, even if the position where the centering chuck 34 contacts the horizontal portion 33 of the steel pipe 21 varies in the tube axis direction, the pre-processing machine 28 is used. The core position at the time of machining in can be matched with the core position at the time of machining in the finishing machine 31 with high accuracy.

このようにして、芯出しチャック34を用いて前加工機28と仕上げ加工機31とにより鋼管21の軸芯を合わせてから、管端加工部より奥に位置する左右2個の管本体チャック35を用いて、鋼管21をチャックする。そして、ねじ切り加工工具29およびシール加工工具30を有する仕上げ加工機31により、外削加工を行われた傾斜部32と水平部33とに、ねじ切り加工およびシール加工を行う。   In this way, after aligning the axial core of the steel pipe 21 by the pre-processing machine 28 and the finishing machine 31 using the centering chuck 34, the two left and right pipe body chucks 35 located deeper than the pipe end machining portion. Is used to chuck the steel pipe 21. Then, the finishing machine 31 having the threading tool 29 and the sealing tool 30 performs threading and sealing on the inclined part 32 and the horizontal part 33 that have been subjected to the external cutting.

この不完全ねじ部22を有する本実施形態の鋼管21は、以下に列記する効果(i)〜効果(iv)を奏することができる。
(i)不完全ねじ部22におけるかえりの発生程度が均一化および最小化されるため、従来と同様にバフ砥石等を用いてかえりの研削除去を行うことにより、かえり取りを確実かつ容易に行うことができる。
The steel pipe 21 of the present embodiment having the incomplete threaded portion 22 can exhibit the effects (i) to (iv) listed below.
(I) Since the degree of occurrence of burr in the incomplete threaded portion 22 is made uniform and minimized, burr grinding and removal are performed by using a buffing wheel or the like as in the prior art, so that burr removal is reliably and easily performed. be able to.

(ii)かえりの発生程度が均一化および最小化されることにより、かえり取りを確実かつ容易に行うことができるため、油井使用時の締め付けトルクの異常な変化やねじ部の焼き付きの発生を、いずれも防止でき、これにより、鋼管21の取扱い性が向上する。
(iii)不完全ねじ部22の形成範囲には外削加工を行わない従来の加工方法では、不完全ねじ部22は、鋼管肌を呈しており不連続な凹凸がある。このため、ねじ切り時にねじ切り加工工具の破損が多発していた。しかし、本実施形態では、不完全ねじ部22のねじ切り時には外削加工部24が形成されているため、加工中のねじ切り加工工具に作用する負荷が低減かつ安定化され、工具寿命が著しく向上する。
(Ii) Since the occurrence of burr can be made uniform and minimized, burr removal can be performed reliably and easily. Both can be prevented, and the handleability of the steel pipe 21 is thereby improved.
(Iii) In the conventional machining method in which the external machining is not performed in the formation range of the incomplete thread portion 22, the incomplete thread portion 22 has a steel pipe skin and has discontinuous irregularities. For this reason, the threading tool was frequently damaged during threading. However, in the present embodiment, since the external machining portion 24 is formed when the incomplete thread portion 22 is threaded, the load acting on the threading tool during machining is reduced and stabilized, and the tool life is remarkably improved. .

(iv)前加工機28と仕上げ加工機31との2台の加工機でねじ継手を加工する際に、仕上げ加工機31でのシール部加工取り代を一定量残すとともに、傾斜部32および水平部33を残して前加工機28で加工した後、仕上げ加工機31の芯出し時には、外削加工を行われた水平部33を利用して芯出しチャック34により鋼管21のチャックを行うことにより、本体チャック35の芯ずれが仕上げ加工機31でのシール部加工取り代を超えて発生した場合には前加工不良と判断して、加工を中止することができる。このため、テーバ雄ねじ部23および不完全ねじ部22の加工不良の発生率を、顕著に低減できる。 (Iv) When a threaded joint is processed by two processing machines, the pre-processing machine 28 and the finishing processing machine 31, a certain amount of machining allowance for the seal part in the finishing processing machine 31 remains, and the inclined portion 32 and the horizontal After the machining by the pre-processing machine 28 leaving the portion 33, when the finishing machine 31 is centered, the steel pipe 21 is chucked by the centering chuck 34 using the horizontal part 33 that has been subjected to the external cutting. When the misalignment of the main body chuck 35 occurs beyond the seal part machining allowance in the finishing machine 31, it is determined that the pre-processing is defective and the processing can be stopped. For this reason, it is possible to remarkably reduce the incidence of processing defects in the taber male screw portion 23 and the incomplete screw portion 22.

このため、本実施形態によれば、かえりの発生に起因した締め付けトルクのハンピング、ねじ部での焼き付きさらには油井での降管作業時間の長時間化をいずれも解決できるとともに、前加工機と仕上げ加工機との2台の加工機でピン部を加工した場合の芯ずれ、加工不良率の低下さらには気密不良の発生をいずれも解決できる。   For this reason, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to solve both the humping of the tightening torque due to the occurrence of burr, seizure at the threaded portion, and the lengthening of the downcomering operation time in the oil well, It is possible to solve both the misalignment, the decrease in the processing defect rate, and the occurrence of the airtight defect when the pin portion is processed by two processing machines including the finishing machine.

海上油井において、外径:177.8mm、厚さ:10.36mmであって不完全ねじ部には外削加工を行っていない従来例の金属密封面付きの特殊継手と、同じ外径であって不完全ねじ部にも外削加工を行った本発明例の金属密封面付きの特殊継手とのそれぞれについて、締め付け作業を行った。なお、テーパ雄ねじ部の長さは40mm、不完全ねじ部の水平部の長さは80mmとし、仕上げ加工における加工代は0.3mmに設定した。また、芯ずれの管理値は0.6mmとした。   In the offshore oil well, the outer diameter is 177.8 mm, the thickness is 10.36 mm, and the outer diameter is the same as that of the special joint with a metal sealing surface of the conventional example in which the incomplete thread portion is not subjected to the external machining. Then, tightening work was performed on each of the special joints with metal sealing surfaces of the present invention example in which the incomplete thread portion was also subjected to external cutting. In addition, the length of the taper male screw part was 40 mm, the length of the horizontal part of the incomplete screw part was 80 mm, and the machining allowance in the finishing process was set to 0.3 mm. The management value of misalignment was 0.6 mm.

そして、前述したハンピングの発生率(%)と、降管能率(本/時)とを測定した。結果を表1にまとめて示す。   Then, the occurrence rate (%) of the above-described humping and the downcomering efficiency (main / hour) were measured. The results are summarized in Table 1.

Figure 0004277845
Figure 0004277845

表1に示す通り、不完全ねじ部に外削加工を行っていない従来例では、ハンピングの発生率が75.0%であったのに対し、不完全ねじ部に外削加工をおこなった本発明例ではハンピングの発生率は、7.6%に約1/10に低減された。これにより、作業時間が短縮され、降管能率も約2倍に改善された。   As shown in Table 1, in the conventional example in which the incomplete thread portion is not subjected to external cutting, the humping rate was 75.0%, whereas the incomplete thread portion was subjected to external cutting. In the inventive example, the occurrence rate of humping was reduced to about 1/10 to 7.6%. As a result, the working time was shortened, and the downcomering efficiency was improved about twice.

外径177.8mmの油井管それぞれ100本を、不完全ねじ部には外削加工を行っていない従来法と、不完全ねじ部にも外削加工を行った図1〜図4に示す本発明法とにより、加工した。本発明法では、仕上げ加工機31でのシール部加工取り代(=前加工機での外削寸法と仕上げ寸法との差)は、径方向寸法で0.6mmとした。さらに、仕上げ加工機31に設けられる芯出しチャック34は、水平部33に位置するようにした。そして、テーバ雄ねじ部23および不完全ねじ部22の加工不良の発生数を測定した。結果を表2にまとめて示す。   100 oil well pipes each having an outer diameter of 177.8 mm, the conventional method in which the incomplete thread portion is not subjected to external machining, and the book illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 in which the incomplete thread portion is also subjected to external machining. Processed according to the invention method. In the method of the present invention, the machining allowance for the seal portion in the finishing machine 31 (= difference between the external cutting dimension and the finishing dimension in the pre-processing machine) is 0.6 mm in the radial dimension. Further, the centering chuck 34 provided in the finishing machine 31 is positioned at the horizontal portion 33. Then, the number of machining defects of the Taber male screw portion 23 and the incomplete screw portion 22 was measured. The results are summarized in Table 2.

表2に示すように、不完全ねじ部に外削加工を行っていない従来方法では、シール未加工不良が発生するが、不完全ねじ部にも外削加工を行った図1〜図4に示す本発明法を使用すれば、シール部未加工不良を未然に防止することが可能であることがわかる。   As shown in Table 2, in the conventional method in which the external threading is not performed on the incomplete thread portion, a seal unprocessed defect occurs. It can be seen that if the method of the present invention shown is used, it is possible to prevent a seal portion unprocessed defect.

また、この際に、従来法および本発明法の双方について、仕上げ加工機31のねじ切り加工工具29の寿命を測定した。結果を表3にまとめて示す。   At this time, the lifetime of the threading tool 29 of the finishing machine 31 was measured for both the conventional method and the method of the present invention. The results are summarized in Table 3.
