Stainless steel pipe grades for oil and gas field Generally speaking, some low alloy steels can meet the requirements for corrosive oil and gas environment containing H2S, but the corrosive environment containing CO2 or H2S, CO2, Cl – coexistence where the Martensitic stainless steel need, duplex stainless steel or even nickel-based alloy. The 1988
For Deep Drilling Jobs, Is Upset Drill Pipe Needed? If you are running conventional oilfield drill pipe, drilling deep with a mud rotary or perhaps drilling 5,000 feet for natural gas with flush joint drill pipe, then you are familiar with the term “upset.” Sometimes elevator-shouldered drill pipe, where the tool joints are larger
7 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A STAINLESS STEEL GRADE Stainless steel, known primarily for its corrosion resistance, is used in a wide variety of applications. The diverse range of grades allows it to accommodate various applications across many different industries. However, having so many grades requires the know-how to select the appropriate one
WHAT IS INCONEL? Inconel is a great example of a high-performance metal specifically formulated for some of the most rigorous applications. Since it is often more expensive and less widely used, Inconel is generally less familiar than steel or aluminum. This article will provide some basics about Inconel and provide answers to some common
Difference between Seamless and erw Stainless steel pipe What is the Raw material required for manufacturing Seamless & ERW Stainless steel Pipes? Seamless Steel Pipe is made from a solid round steel ‘billet’ which is heated and pushed or pulled over a form until the steel is shaped into a hollow tube. Billets are
Lesser Known Facts About Stainless Steel Tubes People are using stainless steel from a very long time now since 1990s. It is used in many sectors. House hold sectors usually uses stainless steel in wide manner so let’s see what makes this stainless steel so unique that it has been used in such wide
Advantages of Tubes What is a tube? Tubes are great for transporting fluids or protecting electrical or optical connections and wires. Although slight differences exist, the words “pipe” and “tube” are practically identical – in general, a Tube has more stringent technical standards than a pipe. In today’s fluid systems there are a lot
OCTG Pipes Types What are OCTG pipes? Oil country tubular goods are pipes used for onshore and offshore oil & gas upstream operations (extract oil and gas from the wellbore). OCTG pipes may be classified into three main families: drill pipes (to perforate the soil and reach the reserve), casing pipes (to consolidate the well and
Types of Oil & Gas Pipes: Seamless, ERW, LSAW Learn about the 3 types of steel pipes used in the petrochemical industry: seamless, ERW (electric resistance welding), and LSAW (longitudinal submerged arc welding). A seamless pipe is manufactured by drawing a solid steel billet through a piercing rod. Welded pipes are produced by cutting,
Safety Valve and PRV (ASME/API 526) Safety Valve A safety valve is protection equipment that is invented to control the pressure in operation. This valve protects people and the environment from overpressure that may produce explosions or different damages. When a set pressure exceeds, a safety valve opens automatically. A safety valve is the
