The invention relates to a pipe joint (1) or to a method for producing the pipe joint, comprising a pipe (4), a threaded connecting body (3) and a coupling nut (7). The pipe (4) comprises a non-deformed section (5) in which the pipe (4) is in an original state, and a joint section (6) in which the pipe (4) is configured with a retaining bead (17), which transitions into a 45° retaining cone (18) on one side and transitions into a 24° centering cone (19) on another side, wherein the 45° retaining cone (18) interacts with a 45° clamping cone (14) of the coupling nut (7), and the 24° centering cone (19) interacts with a 24° receiving cone (8) of the threaded connecting body (3) in an operating state of the pipe connection (1). In order to improve a known pipe joint and a known method for producing the pipe joint, so that it becomes usable in a most flexible manner, it is provided according to the invention that the joint section (6) of the pipe (4) is integrally connected with the non-deformed section (5) of the pipe (4) and produced through a plastic deformation process, in particular a crushing process caused in an axial direction of the pipe (4).
A pipe joint comprising a pipe, a threaded connecting body and a coupling nut, wherein the threaded connecting body comprises a bore hole starting at a radial face and provided with a 24° receiving cone and a section parallel to an axis and connected to the receiving cone, which section transitions into a radially extending pipe seat base and is provided at its outer enveloping surface with a first threaded section, which interacts with a second threaded section at an inner enveloping surface of a pass through bore hole of the coupling nut, which is provided with a 45° clamping cone, which interacts with a 45° retaining cone at an outer enveloping surface of the pipe, wherein the pipe comprises a joint section, which is disposed in an assembled state of the pipe joint in the bore hole of the threaded connecting body and also in the pass through bore hole of the coupling nut, and wherein the pipe also comprises a non deformed section in which the pipe is in its original state, wherein the joint section comprises a retaining bead extending over the outer diameter of the pipe in the non deformed section radially outward, which retaining bead comprises the 45° retaining cone and a 24° centering cone which is inclined in an opposite direction and also disposed at the retaining bead, which centering cone interacts in the assembled state of the pipe joint with the 24° receiver cone of the threaded connecting body, wherein a circumferential groove for receiving an elastomeric seal ring is provided in the 24° centering cone, wherein the joint section of the pipe is integrally connected with the non-deformed section of the pipe and produced through a plastic deformation process, in particular a crushing process caused in axial direction of the pipe.
A method for producing a joint section of a pipe joint, comprising a pipe, a threaded connecting body and a coupling nut, wherein the threaded connecting body comprises a bore hole starting at a radial face and provided with a 24° receiving cone and a section parallel to an axis and connected to the receiving cone, which section transitions into a radially extending pipe seat base and is provided at its outer enveloping surface with a first threaded section, which interacts with a second threaded section at an inner enveloping surface of a pass through bore hole of the coupling nut, which is provided with a 45° clamping cone, which interacts with a 45° retaining cone at an outer enveloping surface of the pipe, wherein the pipe comprises a joint section, which is disposed in an assembled state of the pipe joint in the bore hole of the threaded connecting body and also in the pass through bore hole of the coupling nut, and wherein the pipe also comprises a non deformed section in which the pipe is in its original state, wherein the joint section comprises a retaining bead extending over the outer diameter of the pipe in the non deformed section radially outward, which retaining bead comprises a 45° retaining cone and a 24° centering cone which is inclined in an opposite direction and also disposed at the retaining bead, which centering cone interacts in the assembled state of the pipe joint with the 24° receiver cone of the threaded connecting body, wherein a circumferential groove for receiving an elastomeric seal ring is provided in the 24° centering cone, wherein the joint section is produced through a plastic deformation process from a prior end section of the non-deformed section.
