API 5CT Casing & Tubing Steels

General Description
API 5CT casing pipe is used to support the oil and gas pipe wall, and to ensure the drilling process and the post-completion wells normal operation. Each well depending on the depth of drilling and geological conditions, to use several layers of casing. OCTG Tubing pipe goes inside the casing pipe. It is the pipe through which oil makes its way out.
The material includes carbon steel (for the most common use), alloy, chrome and high alloy steels. Based on the strength of the material steel, the pipes are divided into different grades which are as follows: J55, K55, N80, L80, C90, T95, P110, Q125.
