Abstract

See full text

The taper and pitch diameter of a conventional API eight round thread coupling are varied over the axial length of the threads. The variations are held within the allowable tolerances of the applicable API specifications. The variations minimize the interference and galling occurring in the first and last engaged threads between the coupling and a pipe end having an externally formed API thread that is screwed into the coupling beyond the maximum API penetration.
