Abstract

In the present invention, a threaded joint (100) comprises a pin (10) and a box (20). The pin (10) includes a pin seal surface (12) and a tapered male thread part (13). The tapered male thread part (13) includes male thread parts (131, 132). The first male thread part (131) is disposed on the side of the pin seal surface (12) near the pipe body (31). The second male thread part (132) is disposed on the side of the first male thread part (131) near the pipe body (31). The box (20) includes a box seal surface (22) and a tapered female thread part (23). The tapered female thread part (23) includes female thread parts (231, 232). The first male thread part (131) and the first female thread part (231) have a first taper ratio (T1). The second male thread part (132) and the second female thread part (232) have a second taper ratio (T2) that is smaller than the first taper ratio (T1).
