API 5CT T95 Casing For Sour Service

API 5CT T95 Casing For Sour Service

T95 is a high-strength low-alloy steel grade designed for acidic environments according to the API 5CT standard. It boasts a minimum yield strength of 655 MPa (95 ksi) and combines high resistance to crushing with resistance to hydrogen sulfide stress corrosion cracking (SSC). Made from a Cr-Mo alloy system, it achieves a balance between strength and toughness through precise composition control and tempering heat treatment, making it suitable for oil and gas well production in environments containing corrosive media such as H₂S and CO₂.

FAQ

What is the OD tolerance of API 5CT?

In the API 5CT standard, the outer diameter tolerance of steel pipes is divided into two types according to different sizes: for steel pipes with an outer diameter ≤ 114.3 mm (4 1/2 inches), the outer diameter tolerance is ±0.79 mm; for steel pipes with an outer diameter ≥ 114.3 mm, the tolerance is +1.0% / -0.5%.

 

What does API 5CT stand for?

API 5CT is an abbreviation for American Petroleum Institute Specification 5CT, which stands for Specification for Casing and Tubing. It is developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and is an internationally recognized technical standard used in the oil and gas industry to regulate casing and tubing used in oil wells.
