API integral-joint tubing has a 10-round form with a joint strength that is less than the body minimum yield, which restricts its use. The small OD of integral-joint tubing permits its use inside larger tubing strings or in wells as unloading or vent strings.

Is P110 sour service?

As P110 steel has been known as a non-sour grade OCTG (oil country tubular goods), it is important to understand P110’s sour cracking resistance in the mildly sour conditions for the design of new wells and FFS (fitness-for-service) evaluation of existing P110 production casing wells.

What is API 5L Gr X60?

API 5L X60 is a common high grade pipe material in API 5L specifciations for oil and gas transmissions. It’s also called L415 pipe, which named by yield strength minimum in 415 Mpa (60,200 psi). It covers manufacturing types in seamless (hot rolled and colde rolled), and welded in ERW, LSAW, SSAW (HSAW).

Cut open the pipe you’re replacing. Measure it from inside with a tape measure, since all pipes are sized…

  • Round off the measurement of the inside diameter to the nearest 1/8 inch. This provides the “nominal dimension”…
  • Wrap a string around a piece of pipe if you cannot measure the inside diameter. Unwrap the string and use a tape…
  • Take into account the distance between pipe fittings, as well as the distance of the pipe engaged inside the…
