A female element of a threaded tubular connection that is fitted to undergo diametrical expansion in a plastic deformation region. The female element is disposed at one end of a tubular component and includes on its external periphery a mechanism that absorbs scratch energy of a scratching body that may come into external contact with the female element and a mechanism that retains the scratch energy absorption mechanism. The retaining mechanism is configured to prevent release of debris from the scratch energy absorption mechanism during expansion of the threaded tubular connection.

A threaded tubular connection includes two elements, male and female, made up one into the other to a given torque in which, prior to making up, at least one thread face under contact pressure has a convexly rounded shape that is continuous over its width with a radius of curvature in the range 2 to 60 mm and is in point contact with the corresponding face of the mating element. Such a threaded connection has an increased resistance to breakout or to overtorquing. In one embodiment, the convexly rounded face is a male or female thread flank and one of the male or female threads includes a groove opening into the thread crest to render flexible either the convexly rounded flank or the corresponding flank. Such a geometry can accommodate variations in contact between the flanks.

A threaded joint which economically imparts effective sealing properties to a metal-to-metal seal portion and which can prevent seizing at the time of make-up comprises a steel pipe 1 having at its tip a male thread 1b and an unthreaded sealing surface 1a, and a coupling 2 having on its inner surface a female thread 2b and an unthreaded sealing surface 2a. With the yield pressure of the inner surface of the pipe being Py, (1) the average pressure Pm of the annular contact portion satisfies Pm/Py≧3, and the width in the axial direction of the portion which receives a pressure Ps which satisfies Ps/Py≧1 in the annular contact portion is at least 1 mm (or at least 2 mm), and the surface roughness Ry of both unthreaded sealing surfaces is at most 25 μm (or at most 30 μm), or (2) the relationship between the average pressure Pm of the annular contact portion and the surface roughness Ry (μm) of the unthreaded sealing surface satisfies Pm/Py≧0.0032×Ry2+1.0, and the width in the axial direction of the portion which receives a pressure Ps which satisfies Ps/Py≧1 in the annular contact portion is at least 1 mm.

The invention relates to a high-performance threaded tubular joint comprising a first, male tubular element (11) and a second, female tubular element (12) made up together by screwing. One of the tubular elements (11; 12) has a non-threaded lip (38; 5) extending between its thread and its free end and having a sealing surface (40; 7) in sealing-tight contact with the opposite surface (41; 8) of the other element after screwing together, diametric expansion, and then generation of springback forces of the first and second tubular elements. The joint has a tubular sleeve (34; 36) threaded over the second element (12) before screwing together and positioned to extend axially substantially opposite to the lip (3; 5) and, after diametric expansion, generating a springback force which is added to that of the second element in order to counteract the springback force of the first element, thus effecting at least the shrink-fitting of the tubular sleeve over the second element.

Method implemented on a computer of monitoring a supply between at least one supplier and at least one client. A client site has at least one project, each project is associated with dated requirements for products, a state of a stock of the products and purchases of the products being known. The method including creating a list of product types required for each project, and producing at least one table for each product type for a sequence of time slices having a chosen time origin. The at least one table has a first running total for each time slice from the time origin up to a time slice of interest of a first quantity associated with the dated requirements of the client site. The at least one table further has a second running total for each time slice from a time origin up to a time slice of interest. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

The invention pertains to a tubular threaded joint provided with a device opposed to over-screwing or unscrewing. The joint includes a male component (3) with an external threading (8) and a female component (2) with internal threading (6), these two components capable of being assembled with predetermined amount of torque. A female portion (7) arranged beyond the female threading (19) and a male portion (13) arranged beyond the male threading (12) provide between their internal surface (14) and external surface (15) an annular zone in which one part at least forms a calibrated zone (20) in which an adhesive ensures mechanical connection between the female portion (7) and the male portion (13). Use of the joint particularly for the oil and gas industry.

A coating apparatus for forming a thin UV curable resin coating on threaded end portions of a steel pipe comprises a spraying unit having at least two nozzles adapted to spray the resin coating composition by pneumatic atomization toward the threaded end portion of the steel pipe, a resin supply system for supplying the resin coating composition to each nozzle, and a first nozzle support means which supports each nozzle for movement in the axial direction of the steel pipe and in the vertical direction. The two nozzles are disposed at different positions at least in the axial direction of the steel pipe at angles which are sloped such that the sprayed streams from the nozzles approach each other. The resin supply system has a regulator for maintaining the spraying air pressure of the resin coating composition in each nozzle of the spraying unit at a predetermined respective value.

A threaded connection used in exploration and operation of hydrocarbon wells includes first and second tubular components, including respective male and female ends and threaded zones. The threaded zones include respective male and female threads, the threads including a root, a crest, a stabbing flank, and a load flank. A groove is provided in the load flank of the threaded zone of the female end and/or the male end respectively, adjacent to the root, and a boss projects axially from the load flank of the threaded zone of the male end and/or respectively from the female end adjacent to the crest, the boss including a convex and concave surfaces. The boss is housed in the groove with, in a connected state, a radial clearance between the concave surface and the groove and an axial clearance between the end of the boss and the bottom of the groove.

A threaded tubular connection that is leak-proof for internal and external successive pressure loads including a male element and a female element. At least one of the male or female elements includes a lip between the threading and the free end of the element. The lip includes a first zone with a peripheral surface turned towards the other element on which a first metallic sealing surface is disposed that can be radially interference fitted against a corresponding second metallic sealing surface disposed on the other element. The lip includes a second zone located axially between the first zone and the corresponding threading. The radial stiffness of the second zone is less than that of the first zone and that of a third zone adjacent to the second zone in the direction of the threading, and the second zone can be radially deformed by a pressure exerted thereon.
