Definitions
- the present invention relates to a threaded joint, particularly adapted for connecting pipe segments to make strings used in the oil and gas extraction industry, provided with a surface coating covering the thread to enhance torsional joint strength.
- yield torque (Y. T.) was increased generally by modifying the joint design, but it has now come close to its technical limit for doped joints.
- Use of dope in turn has drawbacks and would preferably be avoided. The risks posed by the use of dope include: dirt entrapment; non-uniform distribution of dope because of manual operation, which might also cause overdoping in all or part of the joint; and cleaning of the joints that has to be carried out in the oilfield in adverse environmental conditions.
- Dope free solutions for joints have been developed and have been in use for several years. Dope-free solutions have achieved a good torsional strength, but in some cases they have drawbacks because the make-up torque can reach high values. In such cases make-up torque of dope free solutions for joints is usually lowered by adding oils or contaminants, thus losing partly or totally the advantages of dope free techniques and causing the risk of reducing also the value of yield torque and of overtorquing the joint. [0009] Dope free solutions for joints have been disclosed in several patents, e.g. US 4,414,247, US 6,027,145, and US 4,692,988.
- the main object of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks by means of a threaded joint for pipes, with excellent make-up properties and still achieve high structural performances by providing a torque with very high value. It is also another object of the invention to provide a threaded joint which also has good corrosion resistance within the widest range of environmental and operational conditions, assuring optimum performance even after several make-up and break-out operations of the j oint.
- a threaded joint for pipes comprising a pin member and a box member, the pin member having a thread adapted to match a thread of the box member, a thread form of each of the pin member and the box member being defined by a thread profile that lays on a cross-section containing a longitudinal axis (X) of the joint, wherein the surface of the thread is provided with a coating wherein said coating comprises a first layer laid on the overall surface of the pin member, a second layer laid on specific parts of the overall surfaces of either one of pin or box members., or the coating comprises a first layer laid on the overall surface of the box member, a second layer laid on specific parts of the overall surfaces of either one of pin or box members.
- the coating comprises a first layer with high friction and anti- seize properties laid on the overall surface of the pin or box members, a second layer with low friction proprieties laid on specific parts of the overall surfaces of either one of pin or box members.
- the overall surfaces of either one of pin or box members where a second layer with low friction properties laid in specific parts are those adapted to produce reciprocal radial contact.
- the parts of the surface of either one of pin or box members where a second layer with low friction properties is laid are those adapted to produce reciprocal radial contact during make-up until a surface withstanding an axial contact pressure load abut (like shoulders).
- the parts adapted to produce reciprocal radial contact are crests in the box member, roots in the pin member and metal-to-metal seals.
- the friction factor obtained will depend usually on the dope amount applied, as a dope pressure normally builds up inside the joint because of the small evacuation or compensation space available between the threads of pin and box. Instead in the joint according to the invention the friction factor is independent from operator influence and is determined at the manufacture stage.
- a low friction coating is used in specific threaded areas of the pin or box and metal-to-metal seals with radial contact to the complementary surfaces of the box or pin respectively to assure low torque values for make-up, because these are the surfaces that are in contact during screwing of the thread, in an unloaded condition.
- a high friction coating is used on those surfaces that perform axial contact, e.g. pin nose, torque shoulder and load flank of thread, to provide enhanced torsional strength, because these surfaces withstand the axial contact pressure loads when the pipe conection reaches the final position.
- Providing torque control in a joint by means of the coating eliminates the main disadvantages of dope free solutions for joints and produces an advantage with respect to the doped joint because it makes it possible to control separately and with high accuracy two different parameters that are closely interrelated in prior art joints.

- Figures 2a and 2b show an enlarged sectional view of a detail of the thread in a joint according to the invention, in a second operating stage (when connection reaches the final position).

- a pipe according to the present invention has threaded extremities which, when coupled with another pipe having complementary threaded extremities, forms a joint.
- a joint thus comprises a pipe defining a male member 100, the so-called “pin”, provided with a thread 4 on an external surface, and a female component 200, the so-called “box”, having a thread 3 on an internal surface.
- the box 200 generally is either a pipe or a sleeve, depending on the type of joint.
- the box 200 has also an abutment shoulder 9 and the pin 100 has a corresponding abutment 10.
- the figures Ia and Ib show the position of the pin and box before completing the make-up operation, where the abutments 9 and 10 are not yet in contact.
- this stage which corresponds usually to the assemblage of the pipe string, the only important load on the joint is constituted by the contact between the radial surfaces of the thread.
- the resultant of the stresses caused by the interference provided at the design stage is schematically indicated by the thick arrows 5' and 5".
- the interference between the thread crests and the thread roots is not high enough to produce a seizure during make-up, using an appropriate lubricant (dope or coating), but generating the hoop tension in components necessary to centralize the pin during running improving its nose positioning.
- a radial interference e.g. for creating a metal-metal seal, which generates stresses the resultant of which is represented schematically by the thick arrows 6' and 6".
- FIGS 2a and 2b there are shown the same parts of the threads as in figures Ia and Ib, though in a completely screwed position.
- the resultant of the contact pressure produced by the torque on the flanks of the threads 3 and 4 are represented schematically by the thick arrows 7' and 7"
- the resultant of the contact pressures produced by the torque on the abutments 9 and 10 are schematically represented by the thick arrows 8' and 8".
- the arrows 8' and 8" are close to being parallel to the longitudinal axis X-X of the joint, shown in Figure 2.
- the angle of inclination of the arrows 7', 7" to the axis X-X depends obviously on the inclination of the flanks of the thread, whereas the angle of inclination of the arrows 5', 5", of the thread crests depend on the selected thread design.
- the direction of arrows 6', 6", 8' and 8" depend on the geometry of the nose.
- the radial contact surfaces are close to being perpendicular to the pipe axis with an angle in the range of 90° +/- 10° whereas the axial contact surfaces are at an angle to the pipe axis X-X in the range of 0° to +/- 25°.
- FIG. 3a An enlargement of a thread 3 of the box 200 is shown in Fig. 3a, and an enlargement of an abutment or nose region of a pin 100 is shown in Figure 3b.
- a first layer coating 12 on the surface of the overall surface and a second layer coating 13 is shown schematically in Figure 3b, e.g. in this case on the external surface of the pin 100.
- a threaded portion of the box 200 matching the pin 100 can have a perfectly similar first layer 12' and second layer 13' on the surface or it can be made without the protective layer or still alternatively the layer can be made with a different structure or materials. It is also possible to have a coating only on the surface of the pin and no coating on the surface of the box.
- the structure of the first layer coating 12 may be different depending on the parts of the joint where it is laid.
- the difference in the coating tribologic or friction properties allows the manipulation and obtaining different characteristics in threads' behaviour during make up, controlling the necessary torque during the operation.
- a high friction anti- seize coating broadly shown as 12 or 12'
- a low friction anti-seize coating broadly shown as 13 or 13'
- the high friction anti-seize coating 12 or 12' remains as the unique layer.
- a high friction anti-seize coating and a contaminant can be used to reduce friction factor on thread crest and/or root.
- the layers of the pin 100 in the embodiments of Figures 5 and 6, can alternatively constitute the layers of box 200 and vice versa.
- Fig. 5 shows an enlarged view of the surfaces of a pin 100 and a box 200 incorporated in a first embodiment of the joint of the invention.
- This configuration particularly adapted for carbon steel or CRA (corrosion resistant alloys) materials, comprises the following layers: a first substrate 1 of base metal, either on pin or preferably box in bare condition or with the corresponding surface treatment, such as blasted or preferably phosphatized for carbon steel or cooper-plated in case of CRA; a second substrate 2 of base metal, either on the box or preferably on the pin in bare condition or with the corresponding surface treatment, such as phosphatized or cooper-plated or preferably blasted; a corrosion protection layer 23, optional, on the substrate 2, preferably having a thickness between 10 and 25 ⁇ m; a high friction factor anti-seize layer 24 on the substrate 2, typically with MoS ⁇ , graphite, and/or Boron Nitride, etc., having a thickness between 10 and 25 ⁇ m; a low friction factor anti-seize layer 25 on the substrate 2, such as fiuoropolymers
- a corrosion inhibitor layer 26 optional, on the substrate 1.
- the low friction factor layer 25 is not laid on surfaces that have axial contact during make-up operation.
- the corrosion protection layer 23 could be avoided in case that the high friction factor anti-seize layer 24 acts as protective coating, too.
- the thickness of the low friction factor anti-seize layer 25 could be negligible.
- a primer could be used to assure adherence.
- Fig. 6 shows an enlarged view of the surfaces of a pin 100 and a box 200 incorporated in a second embodiment of the joint according to the invention.
- the low friction factor anti-seize layer 25 such as fiuoropolymers (e.g., polytetrafiuoroethylene), is laid on the substrate 2 as intermediate layer between the substrate 2 of base metal and the optional corrosion inhibitor 26.
- the low friction factor anti-seize layer 25 can be applied on the opposite member of the threaded j oint, too .
- the layer 25 is always absent on surfaces having axial contact.
- the anti-seize layer 24 can advantageously incorporate a corrosion protection or it can be applied over a protection layer.
- protection coatings have global thicknesses varying in the range from 10 to 40 ⁇ m. If the anti-seize layer 24 fulfils both protective and lubricant functions, the overall thickness of the coating of the pin and the box of a joint will be in this range. On the contrary, if anti-seize layer and corrosion protection layer are of different materials, the thickness of the global coating will be greater.
- a low friction factor coating is applied over the high friction coating, as illustrated in Fig. 5.
- the thicknesses of the layers are added up, but in case of axial contact surfaces only the high friction coating thickness is considered to obtain the best results.
- the anti-seize layer 24 having high friction factor contains graphite, Boron Nitride and/or MoS ⁇ as a lubricant, generally using a polymeric resin as binder (preferably the polymeric resin is an epoxy or ester- epoxy resin), whereas a low friction factor anti-seize layer 25 is preferably based on fluoropolymers (e.g., polytetrafiuoroethylene), or can contain nano-particles used like a contaminant on radial contact surfaces, that drastically reduce the friction between surfaces without significant layer thickness.
- a polymeric resin preferably the polymeric resin is an epoxy or ester- epoxy resin
- a low friction factor anti-seize layer 25 is preferably based on fluoropolymers (e.g., polytetrafiuoroethylene), or can contain nano-particles used like a contaminant on radial contact surfaces, that drastically reduce the friction between surfaces without significant layer thickness.
- Friction coefficients of both layers 24, 25 are different.
- the high friction coating has a friction coefficient twice or higher than the low friction coating.
- Typical values for a low friction coating are from 0.02 to 0.05 and for a high friction layer are in the range from 0.05 and 0.12, evaluated in a test made with a ring on disc.
- the low friction factor layer should be thick enough to cover the entire specific surface during make-up, decreasing the torque; but beyond a specific limit, an excessive thickness increases the contact pressure, increasing also the necessary torque.
- the shoulder torque (S. T.) in a crest-to-root type thread premium joint is a function of several factors:
- ⁇ T or Delta torque, which is the difference between yield torque (Y. T.) and shoulder torque (S . T . ) :
- the performance of the joint is better when the torque curve has a long segment 50 whose value is given by the difference between the values of Y. T. and S. T.
- the joint of the invention that shows a curve corresponding to curve C, has a low friction factor in the radial contact surfaces that provides adequate friction values to assure the make up of the joint at reasonable torque values comparable to those present when using dope; and a high friction factor on axial contact surfaces that provides a localised area with high friction capable of delivering high torsional strength to the joint once the shoulder gets in contact.
- connection layer 24 can also work as a corrosion protector, and the corrosion layer can be avoided.
- a surface treatment is provided in order to improve the adherence of coating to thread surface, e.g. blasting, phosphatisation or cooper-plated.
- the surface treatment of the invention can be applied to every type of thread either having a cylindrical or frusto-conical shape of the envelope of the crests of the thread or a combination of both having one or more thread steps.
- the joint of the present invention can be applied to every type of joint, particularly either in cases when the female member is formed at an end portion of a pipe or when a sleeve with two female members at both ends to join two male pipes is used.
- a coating system was applied to a connection according to the present invention.
- a first layer of a Zn-rich epoxy resin was applied to the pin surface (surface roughness Ra comprised between 2-6 ⁇ m) as corrosion inhibiting coating.
- the final thickness of the coating was 20 ⁇ m.
- a second layer of dry lubricant coating which is comprised of a mixture of MoS 2 and other solid lubricants in an inorganic binder was applied with a thickness of 20 ⁇ m.
- the coatings were applied by spraying and heat was used to accelerate curing.
- the inner surface of the box was coated with a low friction coating.
- the surface of a box was given a phosphatized surface treatment and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating was applied selectively over the crest and metal-to-metal seal of the box.
- This low friction coating is a polymeric coating that contains PTFE powder dispersed in a reactive epoxy resin and solvent.
- the solvents were 2-methoxy-l methyl-ethyl acetate and xylene.
- the resin had a viscosity in the range of 26-28 seconds in Ford No 4 cup at 25°C.
- the PTFE dispersion was applied to the box using pneumatic airless sprayers. The dispersion was then cured at 140 0 C for 30 minutes. It should be noted that the curing time will vary depending on the temperature used. For example, the epoxy can be cured 60 minutes at 130 0 C or for 30 minutes at 140 0 C. Alternatively, if the epoxy is cured using an infrared lamp, the recommended curing time is approximately 15 minutes at 140-145 0 C. [0074]
- the coefficient of friction for the polymeric coating of the present example was determined by applying the coating to a flat disc and to an annular cylinder (ring). The torque transmitted by rotating the ring on the disc is measured.
- FIG. 7A depicts the measured coefficient of friction over time while FIG. 7B displays the average coefficient.
- Dope-free solution A had a coating system comprised by a corrosion resistance layer and lubricant layer on the pin.
- Dope-free solution B had the same coating system as solution A but a corrosion inhibitor layer was applied on top.
- Dope-free solution C the solution of the present example, had the coating scheme of solution B applied to the pin and a PTFE coating was applied to specific parts of the inner surface of the box.
- the polymeric coating significantly reduced the coefficient of friction when applied according to the present invention, especially as compared to conventional pin-box configurations.
- make and break tests were performed on 3.5 inch connections. The results of these tests are shown in FIG. 8.
- dope-free solution A, B, and C were evaluated on connections with two different configurations: max thread/max seal and min thread/max seal interference.
- the main bars represent the mean shoulder torque for the first 5 make-ups for each configuration, the dots symbolize the torque shoulder for the first make-up, and the error bars indicate the standard deviation.
- HHN stands for the high thread-high seal interference with nominal thread tapers
- LHN stands for low thread-high seal interference with nominal thread tapers
- the various coatings described herein may be applied to the overall surface of the pin member or box member, or only to selected areas.
- the coatings may be applied to the threaded portions of the pin member and the box member, to the metal-to-metal seal portions of the pin member and the box member, or to the shoulder portion of the pin member and the box member without departing from the scope of the present invention.
