1.6 Significant Changes from DS-1 Third Edition: To
assist the user in identifying changes between Standard
DS-1 Third Edition and Fourth Edition, Tables A.1 and
A.2 are provided (located in the Appendix). Table A.1
outlines a list of some of the new inspection procedures
and methods added to Fourth Edition. Table A.2 outlines
a list of some of the key changes made to the inspection
procedures and methods previously covered in Third
Edition and now continued in Fourth Edition. The goal is
to familiarize DS-1 users with these changes. However,
it is not meant to be an exhaustive list that requires no
further investigation. Tables A.1 and A.2 serve as a
reference to be reviewed prior to examining the contents
of Standard DS-1 Fourth Edition, Volume 3.

Section Method Comments

3.7 Electromagnetic This is formerly EMI 1 and EMI 2. They have been combined into a single
Inspection (EMI) method with the option for tube wall thickness monitoring by gamma ray
radia- tion, magnetic wall or ultrasonic wall monitoring equipment.
Key Items:
• The EMI drilled-hole standard shall be recertified annually.
• The Wall Thickness Reference Standard thicknesses shall be verified
with an ultrasonic thickness gage or micrometer traceable to NIST or
equivalent.
• In lieu of turning around the inspection head it may be backed onto the
upset if it can be demonstrated during standardization that the system is
of equal sensitivity while scanning in the forward and reverse direction
and if the detectors are centrally located within the inspection head.

3.8 Heat Checking This method covers the examination of heat checking (longitudinal surface
Inspection imperfections) on box tool joints from the shoulder to the intersection of tool
joint OD and the 18 degree taper using wet fluorescent or dry magnetic
particle technique.

3.19 Wet Visible This method covers the inspection of slip and upset external surfaces of used
Contrast steel drill pipe for transverse and three-dimensional flaws, using wet visible
Inspection contrast technique with an active AC field or with an active DC field.
Key Items:
• The white paint contrast applied thickness must be no more than 0.002
inches thick as measured by a dry film thickness gage.
• For Wet Visible Contrast Inspection Method only magnetic particle
concen- tration shall range from 1.2 to 2.4 ml/100 ml using an ASTM 100
ml centrifuge tube. This does not apply to pre-mixed bath available in
aerosol containers.
• Per Note 3 of table 2.2 and table 2.3, “For ferromagnetic
components, Wet Visible Contrast Inspection may be substituted for MPI
Slip/Upset Area Inspection.”

Section Method Comments

3.21 Connection This procedure covers the process control requirements for phosphating
Phosphating newly- machined or recut rotary-shouldered connections using zinc
phosphate or manganese phosphate methods. This procedure is not required
for connections that have only been refaced.
Key Items:
• A detailed, written procedure for treating the connections, using the
specific phosphating product and equipment in place, must be available
at the job site.
• At a minimum the written procedure must address the key variables con-
tained in paragraph 3.21.2.1.a through 3.21.2.1.e.
• Also included in this new procedure are the requirements for Post-
Treatment Inspection (paragraph 3.21.5).

3.22 Hardbanding This procedure covers the inspection of used components to be hardbanded
Reapplication and the procedures required to ensure quality hardbanding reapplication.
Key Items:
• Contains multiple photos of both acceptable and rejectable examples of
hardbanding.
• One big difference between this inspection and the hardbanding attribute
checked during a Visual Connection Inspection (3.11) is hardbanding
height. Section 3.11 allows up to 3/16 inch proud hardbanding while
section 3.22 limits the height to the customer’s specification acceptance
criteria which is typically 3/32 ±1/32 inch. This is due to hardbanding
inspected per section
3.11 may not have been applied in accordance with section 3.22 so the
acceptance criteria for section 3.11 is relaxed.
• Included in paragraph 3.22.2.1 are key procedural requirements that must
be followed.

3.23 Tool Joint This procedure covers the inspection of used tool joints to be rebuilt (by weld-
Rebuilding ing on the outside surfaces in order to increase the OD measurement) and
the procedures required to ensure quality weld application.
Key Item:
• This is not a mandatory procedure called out by table 2.2 or table 2.3 but
instead provides proper application quality control in the event the
customer or tool owner opts to use it.

3.26 Pup Joint This procedure covers Visual Tube Inspection, Visual Connection Inspection
Inspection 1 and Dimensional 1 Inspection of integral and welded pup joints.
Key Item:
• Required when qualifying pup joints under a Service Category 2 inspection.
Page 328
Add new table at end of Appendix (continued)

Table A.1 New Methods Added to DS-1 Fourth Edition (continued)

Section Method Comments

3.27 Pup Joint This procedure covers the inspection requirements and acceptance criteria
Inspection 2 for integral and welded pup joints. The requirements listed in this procedure
are more comprehensive than the requirements in Pup Joint Inspection 1.
Key Item:
• Required when qualifying pup joints under a Service Category 3-5 inspection.

3.36 Demagnetization This procedure covers the equipment and methods used for the measurement
and reduction of residual magnetic fields in the longitudinal direction after a
component is inspected using wet fluorescent magnetic particle technique or
the dry magnetic particle technique.
Key Items:
• This is not a mandatory procedure or method but may be used to demag-
netize components after inspection using wet fluorescent magnetic
particle technique or the dry magnetic particle technique.
• Demagnetization may be performed using an AC Yoke, AC Coil or DC Coil.
• Following demagnetization residual fields should not exceed 3 gauss with
residual fields up to 10 gauss acceptable after an agreement between
vendor and customer.

3.37 Post-Inspection This procedure covers the post-inspection marking requirements of used drill
Marking of stem components. This procedure does not address marking of newly manu-
Drill Stem factured drill stem components.
Components
Key Items:
• Marking is divided into two marking “schemes”, Scheme-A and Scheme-B.
• Scheme-A is used when the inspection of a particular component is to
stop as soon as that component is rejected and is only applied to fully
acceptable components and signifies that all parts of the component are
acceptable to the applicable requirements.
• Scheme-B is used when the inspection is to continue until all specified
inspections are completed. This scheme denotes the condition of each
part individually.
• The location, number and color of paint bands shall be in accordance
with table 3.11.1.
• Included in this procedure is guidance for marking Premium Class
Reduced TSR Normal Weight Drill Pipe (NWDP).

Table A.2 Changes from DS-1 Third Edition to Existing Inspection Methods or Procedures

Section Method Comments

Various Table 3.8 (Used BHA Connection Dimensional Criteria) has been replaced
with the values that were provided in the Revised Table 3.8 enclosure from
the T H Hill letter dated December 2010.
Table 3.9.1 (Used Heavy Weight Drill Pipe Dimensional Data) has been
modified adding third edition and fourth edition acceptance criteria for OD, ID,
BD, and Seal Width. Per note 4, both third and fourth edition values will be
accepted until 30 April 2014. Effective 01 May 2014, only fourth edition
values will be accepted.
To be consistent with BHA methodology of controlling seal stresses, NWDP
and TWDP tool joint acceptance criteria now measure minimum bevel
diameters instead of minimum seal width.
Chapter 4, Registration of Inspection and Threading Vendors has been removed
from fourth edition.

Various Inspections The minimum illumination level at the inspection surface shall be 50 foot-candles.
Requiring Ambient Light Light intensity level at the inspection surface must be verified:
• At the start of each inspection job
• When light fixtures change positions or intensity
• When requested by the customer or its designated representative
• Upon completion of the job
The requirements do not apply to direct sunlight conditions.
If adjustments are required to the light intensity level at the inspection
surface, all components inspected since the last light intensity level
verification shall be re-inspected.

3.4 Visual Tube Acceptance Criteria has been added for crooked tube conditions. The tube
Inspection shall not be visibly crooked over the entire length of the tube or 0.5 inches in
the first 5 feet from either end. In addition to all applicable inspection, all
straightened pipe shall be inspected in the straightened tube section and 2
feet on either side of the straightened section in accordance with procedure
3.9, MPI Slip/Upset.

3.6 UT Wall Thick- UT Field Reference Standard thicknesses have been added to table 3.6.1 for
ness Inspection drill pipe tubes. The thick and thin section criteria are still in paragraph 3.6.2.e
but paragraph 3.6.2.f directs the inspector to table 3.6.1 and table 3.6.2 to
simplify the selection process.

material of similar acoustic properties as the part being tested.
Two sensitivity reference standards shall be used for standardization. One
standard shall be all or part of a pin connection of the same connection type
as the pin connection being tested. The other standard shall be all or part of
a box connection of the same connection type as the box being tested.
The sensitivity reference standard shall be placed in the standard in the last
full thread groove closest to the shoulder on the pin and farthest from the
shoulder on the box.

3.24 Stabilizer There have been significant changes to neck length acceptance criteria in
Inspection para- graph 3.24.6.c. The minimum tong space on the lower connection
(typically pin) shall be 7 inches or the tool shall be rejected.
OD ≤ 3-1/2" 12"
3-1/2" < OD ≤ 8" 15"

Section Method Comments
3.31 FLUT 1 Changes to the Field Reference Standard include:
• Must now be +1%, -3% or ±1/32 inch of nominal OD of the pipe to be in-
spected, whichever is larger.
• Must now contain two (2) wall thickness sections. If not specified by the
customer they must contain one section between 70-80% of nominal wall
thickness and one section between 95-100% of nominal wall thickness.
These section thicknesses must be verified by UT Wall Thickness Meter.
• Must now contain both longitudinal and transverse notches on OD and
ID. Third Edition only required OD and ID transverse notches.

3.32 FLUT 2 Changes to the Field Reference Standard include:

• Must now be +1%, -3% or ±1/32 inch of nominal OD of the pipe to be in-
spected, whichever is larger.
• Must now contain two (2) wall thickness sections. If not specified by the
customer they must contain one section between 70-80% of nominal wall
thickness and one section between 95-100% of nominal wall thickness.
These section thicknesses must be verified by UT Wall Thickness Meter.

3.33 Shop Repair and Per paragraph 3.33.8.1, all recut steel connections shall be subjected to
Gauging of RSC phos- phating using zinc phosphate or manganese phosphate methods in
accordance with Connection Phosphating (procedure 3.21).
Connection break in (Make and Break) is now recommended on all recut
connec- tions. They should be made up three (3) times at 60% of the
minimum torsional yield of the connection and be 100% inspected following
the final makeup.
Inspection following recut (3.33.5) requires a check for shoulder squareness.
The squareness check is completed following thread standoff measurement
with a ring or plug gage.
If agreed upon between the customer and the refacing vendor, the refaced
connections (3.33.6) may be gauged and a check of shoulder squareness
and shoulder flatness performed.
