    Specialized Protection Protocols for Coated Steel Pipe Logistics Overview At **Forever Steel**,we understand that a steel pipe is only as good as its surface condition upon arrival,For projects in **South America** and the **Middle East**,our focus is on preventing "Holiday" (coating gaps) and mechanical gouges during the complex multi-modal transport process,Multi-Layered Material Protection We utilize a combination of traditional and modern soft-protection materials to ensure the safety of 3LPE,FBE,and 3LPP coatings: * **Hemp Rope Spiraling**: Thick hemp ropes are coiled around the pipe body to maintain a fixed safety distance between pipes,eliminating friction during sea-transit,* **Straw Mat Interlining**: Heavy-duty straw mats are placed on all timber dunnage to absorb shocks and prevent pressure-point marks on the coating,* **Non-Woven Fabric Shielding**: For sensitive FBE coatings,we offer full-body wrapping in high-density non-woven fabric to protect against dust,UV rays,and micro-abrasions,Compliance & Quality Assurance All our handling and loading procedures follow **API 5L** transportation guidelines and **ISO 21809** standards,We use only nylon webbing slings and padded hooks—**zero metal-to-metal contact** is guaranteed throughout the loading process,Why Choose Forever Steel? Our commitment to detail reduces your project’s "On-Site Repair" costs,We provide a complete **Loading & Bracing Plan** with every shipment,ensuring that your procurement team has full transparency over the safety of your assets,

API 5CT Steel Casing (OCTG)

Our API 5CT casing pipes are engineered to serve as the structural retainer for the walls of oil and gas wells. Designed to withstand external collapse pressure and internal yield strength, these pipes ensure the integrity of the wellbore during drilling and production phases.


1. Technical Specifications

Outside Diameter (OD):4-1/2" to 20" (114.3mm – 508mm)

Wall Thickness (WT):5.21mm – 16.13mm

Length Range:R1 (4.88m-7.62m), R2 (7.62m-10.36m),R3 (10.36m-14.63m)

Manufacturing Process:Seamless (SMLS) or Electric Resistance Welded (ERW)


2. API 5CT Steel Grades

We provide a full spectrum of grades categorized by strength and environmental resistance:

Group 1:J55, K55, N80-1, N80-Q

Group 2 (Restricted Yield):L80-1, L80-9Cr, L80-13Cr, C90, T95

Group 3 (High Strength):P110

Group 4:Q125


3. Connection & Threading Types

To ensure leak-proof performance under high pressure, we offer standard and premium connections:

STC(Short Round Thread Casing)

LTC(Long Round Thread Casing)

BTC(Buttress Thread Casing)

Premium Connections:Gas-tight threads for extreme high-pressure or sour service (H2S) environments.


4. Key Application Areas

Surface Casing:Protects freshwater zones and supports the blowout preventer.

Intermediate Casing:Isolates high-pressure zones and unstable formations.

Production Casing:The final conduit for oil and gas production, ensuring long-term well stability.


5. Quality Assurance & Protection

Compliance:Full adherence to API Spec 5CT latest edition; supplied withMTC (EN 10204 3.1).

Testing:100% NDT (Ultrasonic & Magnetic Particle), Hydrostatic testing, and Drift testing.

Surface Treatment:External black painting/vanish, color coding as per API standards.

Packaging:Steel strapped bundles with thread protectors (plastic or composite) for secure maritime transit.
