This International Standard specifies the technical delivery conditions for steel pipes (casing@ tubing@ plain end casing liners and pup-joints) and accessories. This International Standard is applicable to the following connections in accordance with ISO 10422 or API Spec 5B: - short round thread casing (STC); - long round thread casing (LC); - buttress thread casing (BC); - extreme-line casing (XC); - non-upset tubing (NU); - external upset tubing (EU); - integral joint tubing (IJ). For such connections@ this International Standard specifies the technical delivery conditions for couplings and thread protection. For pipes covered by this International Standard@ the sizes@ masses@ wall thicknesses@ grades and applicable end finishes are defined. This International Standard may also be applied to tubulars with connections not covered by ISO/API standards. The four groups of products to which this International Standard is applicable include the following grades of pipe: - Group 1: All casing and tubing in Grades H@ J@ K and N; - Group 2: All casing and tubing in Grades C@ L@ M and T; - Group 3: All casing and tubing in Grade P; - Group 4: All casing in Grade Q. Casing sizes larger than Label 1: 4-1/2 but smaller than Label 1: 10-3/4 may be specified by the purchaser to be used in tubing service@ see Tables C.1@ C.24@ C.30 and C.31 or Tables E.1@ E.24@ E.30 and E.31. Supplementary requirements that may optionally be agreed between purchaser and manufacturer@ for non-destructive examination@ coupling blanks@ upset casing@ electric-welded casing@ impact testing@ seal ring couplings and certificates are given in annex A. This International Standard is not applicable to threading requirements. NOTE Dimensional requirements on threads and thread gauges@ stipulations on gauging practice@ gauge specifications@ as well as instruments and methods for inspection of threads are given in ISO 10422 or API Spec 5B. Connections machined to either of these specifications are the same for practical purposes and are totally interchangeable.
