机械干涉配合连接

This standard contains information for the use of mechanical interference fit connections in the assembly process of API 5L pipe, after production by the pipe manufacturer. Mechanical interference fit connections, as considered within this standard, are to establish common aspects that can then be used by connection manufacturers and end users. This standard provides fundamental guidance to educate the end users, connection manufacturers, and suppliers by identifying the critical features of the technology. This standard is intended for use by project engineers as they evaluate mechanical interference fit connections for pipeline applications and designs; it is not intended for use as an equipment-purchasing specification. This standard does not prevent suppliers/manufacturers from offering alternative equipment or engineering solutions to users/purchasers. There can be additional requirements, beyond the information outlined in this standard, that may be needed for specific applicat
