Abstract
Description
図2は、第1実施形態に係る鋼管用ねじ継手1の概略構成を示す縦断面図である。縦断面とは、ねじ継手1の管軸CLを含む平面で切断した断面である。横断面とは、管軸CLに垂直な平面で切断した断面をいう。本実施形態は、インテグラル型のねじ継手に適用することもできるし、カップリング型のねじ継手に適用することもできる。
図4は、第2実施形態に係る鋼管用ねじ継手1Aの概略構成を示す縦断面図である。図5は、ねじ継手1Aにおけるピン10Aの先端部分を拡大して示した縦断面図である。ねじ継手1Aは、インテグラル型のねじ継手であってもよいし、カップリング型のねじ継手であってもよい。
上述したように、x/Lの値が大きくなると、ノーズ部11,11Aの長さが相対的に短くなってシール部の剛性の低下が生じやすくなり、ねじのかみ合い部からシール部までの距離が相対的に長くなってシール部の縮径変形が生じやすくなる。その一方で、x/Lの値が大きくなると、ねじ部の干渉によるシール部の実質干渉量の減少は生じにくくなる。すなわち、x/Lの値が大きい場合、シール部の剛性及びシール部の縮径変形という観点では外圧密封性能が低下すると考えられるが、シール部の実質干渉量という観点では外圧密封性能及び内圧密封性能が向上すると考えられる。
パラメータx/Lが異なる複数の供試体について、有限要素解析を実施して性能の差を比較した。各供試体は、図1に示す基本構造を有するカップリング型のねじ継手である。共通の試験条件を以下に示す。
(1)鋼管の寸法
7”x29#(外径:177.8mm,肉厚:10.4mm)
(2)鋼管のグレード
API規格のP110(公称降伏応力が110ksiの炭素鋼)
(3)ねじの寸法(全てのねじで共通の条件)
ねじピッチ:5.08mm,荷重面のフランク角:-3°,挿入面のフランク角:10°,挿入面すき間:0.15mm
各供試体に対してねじの締め付けの解析を行った後、ISO13679 CAL4 Series A試験を模擬した荷重を負荷し、外圧及び内圧に対する密封性能を評価した。内外圧に対する密封性能は、それぞれ、荷重履歴の内圧サイクル(第1,第2象限)及び荷重履歴の外圧サイクル(第3,第4象限)におけるシール部の周方向の単位長さ当たりの接触力の最小値によって評価した。接触力の最小値が大きいほど密封性能が優れていることを意味する。
・優:内圧サイクルにおける接触力(内圧密封性能)が1.00以上 且つ 外圧サイクルにおける接触力(外圧密封性能)が1.10以上
・良:内圧密封性能が1.00以上 且つ 外圧密封性能が1.05以上
・不可:内圧密封性能が1.00未満 又は 外圧密封性能が1.05未満
