Abstract
A threaded pipe connection is disclosed of the wedge-shaped thread type that avoids high stress concentrations in the box between the first thread and the end of the box by making the length of the box between the first thread and the end of the box equal to or greater than 5% of the pipe diameter and by providing clearance between the crest of the first full thread on the box and the root of the last thread on the pin and between the crest of the last full thread on the pin and the root of the first full thread on the box.
