The Casing And Tubing Pipe Grades
The API 5CT standard covers seamless and welded casing and tubing pipes for oil and gas transportation. Casing pipes are available in the following materials: H-40, J-55, K-55, N-80, L-80, C-90,T-95 ,P-110, Q-125. Depending on the different condition and depth of the well, we use the different steel grades. The casing is required anti-corrosion under the corrosive environment. In the case of complex geological conditions, the casing has to be resistant to collapse. Most casing steel grades have the same chemical composition. What makes grade different is the heat treatment applied. Casing grades mainly differ in their yield strength, tensile strength, and hardness. According to API 5CT, there are four groups of products to API SPEC 5CT is applicable include the following grades of pipe: Group 1: Grades H, J, K,M, N and R; Group 2: Grades C, L and T; Group 3: Grade P; Group 4: Grade Q. Additional tests required by API 5CT for certain groups of casing make ...
