Seamless Casing Pipe to API 5CT

API 5CT casing grades from H40 to P110 with the coating already applied

Casing pipe is a seamless steel pipe with a hollow section and no joint around it, produced to API 5CT, GB/T 19830 and SY/T 6194. It is bought by well construction teams, boiler and chemical plant contractors and low and middle pressure pipeline builders who need a defined casing grade rather than general purpose tube. Offering the whole grade ladder from H40 through J55 K55 N80 L80 in 13Cr C90 T95 and P110 lets a single order cover the shallow and the deep sections of a string instead of splitting the buy between two mills. Surface treatment is applied before shipment so pipe arrives black painted, varnished, hot galvanized, 3PE or epoxy coated and ready to run.

Why It Is Specified

Key Benefits of Seamless Steel Pipe Casing Pipe

Full API 5CT Grade Ladder On One Order

H40 J55 K55 N80 L80 C90 T95 and P110 are all quoted from the same source. A casing program that steps grade with depth does not need a second supplier for the deeper string.

L80 Available in the 13Cr Chemistry

L80 is offered as L80 13Cr, which is the version normally specified where carbon dioxide is present in the produced fluid.

Three Standards Referenced

The pipe is quoted against API 5CT, GB/T 19830 and SY/T 6194, so tenders written to either the API or the Chinese petroleum standards can be answered without a conversion note.

Fixed and Random Lengths

Lengths are supplied as 5.8m and 6m fixed, 12m fixed, or 2-12m random. The choice can follow the rig handling system rather than whatever the mill happens to cut.

Coating Chosen at Order Stage

Black painting, varnish, transparent oil, hot galvanizing, 3PE, epoxy coating, BE and PE finishes are applied at the mill so nothing has to be coated at the wellsite.

Seamless Wall With No Joint Around It

The body is a long pipe of steel with a hollow section and no joint around it, which keeps the wall continuous in a string that is run under axial and burst load.

Problems It Solves

What This Material Removes From Your Process

Grade Ladder Split Across Two Suppliers

Shallow string grades and deep string grades are often sourced separately, which doubles the inspection and certificate work. Quoting H40 through P110 together keeps the casing program on one order.

CO2 Service Grade Not Available Locally

L80 in the 13Cr chemistry is frequently the gap in a local stock list. It is offered here alongside C90 and T95 so the well fluid chemistry can be matched.

Coating Work Delaying the Run

Bare pipe arriving at site has to be coated before it is run. Black painting, varnish, hot galvanizing, 3PE and epoxy coating are applied before shipment.

Tender Written to Chinese Petroleum Standards

A tender citing GB/T 19830 or SY/T 6194 is awkward to answer with an API only quotation. All three standards are referenced for this product.

Length Not Matching Rig Handling

A single mill length can be hard to handle on a smaller rig. Fixed cuts of 5.8m 6m and 12m and 2-12m random are available.

Application Scenarios

Where It Is Used

Oil and Natural Gas Well Casing Strings

Surface, intermediate and production casing in petroleum and natural gas wells where grade is stepped with depth.

Drilling Programs Needing Sour or CO2 Service Grades

Strings specifying L80 13Cr C90 or T95 where the well fluid chemistry drives the grade choice.

Low and Middle Pressure Fluid Pipelines

Transfer lines carrying fluid at low and middle pressure where a casing grade pipe is used for its wall and strength.

Boiler and Power Plant Piping

Boiler circuits and associated plant piping built from seamless pipe in a defined grade.

Chemical Plant Process Lines

Chemical plant runs where an epoxy coated or 3PE coated external surface is specified against the plant environment.

Coated Casing for Corrosive Ground Conditions

Buried or splash zone sections using hot galvanized 3PE or epoxy coated pipe supplied already finished.

Comparison

Seamless Steel Pipe Casing Pipe Against the Alternatives

Welded casing pipeThe seamless body has a hollow section with no joint around it, so there is no longitudinal weld in a wall loaded in burst and tension.
General purpose seamless pipeThis pipe is produced and certified to API 5CT casing grades rather than to a general structural or line pipe specification.
Single grade casing supplyThe full H40 to P110 ladder is offered so grade can be stepped with depth on one order instead of buying a single grade for the whole string.
Pipe coated after arrivalHot galvanizing 3PE epoxy coating and painting are applied at the mill, removing a coating contract at the destination yard.
Use Guide

Specifying Handling and Welding Notes

  • Select the grade against depth and well fluid chemistry before fixing the wall thickness
  • Use L80 13Cr C90 or T95 where the produced fluid chemistry rules out the plain carbon grades
  • Match the fixed or random length to the rig handling system before the order is placed
  • Keep thread and end protection in place through transport and yard storage
  • Choose the external coating against the ground and splash zone conditions at the well
  • Ask for the mill test certificate so each grade in the string is documented separately
Questions Buyers Ask

H40 J55 K55 N80 L80 in the 13Cr chemistry C90 T95 and P110. Different grades can be placed on the same order for different sections of the string.

Do you quote against GB/T 19830 as well as API 5CT?

Yes. The product is offered against API 5CT, GB/T 19830 and SY/T 6194, so a tender written to any of the three can be answered directly.

What lengths are available?

5.8m and 6m fixed, 12m fixed, or 2-12m random. Other cut lengths can be arranged if you send the requirement with the order.

What wall thickness range do you cover?

Wall is ordered by schedule from SCH5S to SCH160 and XS, covering 1.65mm to 80mm, or customized to a stated figure.

Can the casing be coated before it ships?

Yes. Black painting, varnish, transparent oil, hot galvanizing, 3PE, epoxy coating, BE and PE are all available as supplied finishes.
