SM110T

Coupling: White, Red Pipe Body: White, Red

General description

SM110T is a Carbon steel OCTG material that provides enhanced and guaranteed Collapse resistance
compared to API ratings. In addition SM110T production order is delivered with a Collapse proof test.

API Collapse rating is an empirical guideline derived from Collapse testing results, on a statistical
scale and conservatively using a worst case scenario approach. Actual Collapse resistance of OCTG
seamless pipe is affected by a large number of parameters. Nippon Steel has developed an unrivaled
know-how in mastering the most influential parameters, and interlocking with best-in-class quality control,
tighter than API 5CT/ISO 11960.

Diameters: 4 1/2” to 13 5/8”. Larger diameters available upon request.

Weights: as per API 5CT/ISO 11960

Special application: Please contact Nippon Steel engineer, should You require specific size, weight,
drift, or any other information.

● Proprietary SM-T series.TGP-2944 (latest revision)

● API 5CT / ISO 11960
● API 5C3 / ISO 10400
● API 5C1 / ISO 10405

Applicable environment

External Pressure driven applications:

● Salt dome / clastic formation

● High Pressure - High Temperature well (HP-HT)
● Wildcat drilling
● Deep well
In addition, enhanced collapse resistance can offer well design flexibility where controls of string weight
and wall thickness are critically important:

● Tight clearance applications such as contingency drilling liners

● Oversized Drift for intermediate and production Casing
● Deep Offshore applications where slim and light design is critical

For each SM110T production run, a Collapse test is carried out with the same frequency as the tensile
test using state-of-the-art testing procedure.

In case Sour Service performances are required, SMC110T shall be considered.

For a more detailed assessment please contact Nippon Steel engineers.

Technical information

Pipe dimensions such as Diameter (D) or wall thickness (t) and mechanical characteristics such
as the material Yield Strength are the first parameters dictating tubular Collapse resistance. Figure 1

specifically illustrates the commensurate influence of the D/t ratio (Diameter over wall thickness).

Nippon Steel, on SM-T High Collapse series, applies tighter tolerances to influential parameters, such as
ovality, eccentricity, OD and wall thickness. In addition, a specific chemistry and strict heat treatment
control are used to ensure steel structural homogeneity and low residual stresses.

Figure 1 demonstrates SM110T enhanced performances compared to API P110 collapse resistance
(derived from API 5C3 / ISO 10400 formula), through its physical test results, guaranteeing the published
minimum Collapse ratings.

Table 2 features SM110T High Collapse values for a large selection of pipe sizes. They exceed
API P110 collpase ratings by a factor ranging from +15% to +45%.

Storage and handling procedure

Health, Safety and Environment

While state-of-the-art HSE rules are applied throughout Nippon Steel manufacturing process, proprietary
and specific HSE regulations shall be applied along the life cycle of the pipe until it reaches its final
position in the well, according to each operator’s rules. This particularly applies to all phases of handling
and transportation, assembly on the rig floor, and rig return if applicable. OCTG are heavy and by nature
unstable. Special care shall be paid to potential risks of injury whenever handling OCTGs. Walking on
pipes shall be avoided at all times. Usage of Personal Protection Equipments (PPE) is mandatory.
Equipment and procedures will be established to capture the possible wastes generated during
maintenance (cleaning, coating, doping) and disposed according to local regulations. This applies in
particular to storage dope, running dope, or cleaning water wastes.

Best practices for transportation, handling and storage of OCTG in general are covered by ISO 10405 /
API RP5C1. VAM Book is also a good source of handling practices for VAM connections.

For more specific information please contact Nippon Steel engineers.
