The API 5CT specification sets the standards for the manufacturing of seamless casing tubing. It specifies the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and testing requirements for the different grades of casing tubing. The J55, K55, N80, and L80 grades are some of the most commonly used grades in the industry. EVA Bag J55 is a low carbon steel grade that is suitable for shallow wells with low pressure and low to medium loads. It has good weldability and is commonly used in casing and tubing strings. K55 is similar to J55 in terms of chemical composition and mechanical properties. however, it has a higher tensile strength and is more suitable for deeper wells with higher pressure and heavier loads. N80 is a higher strength steel grade that is commonly used in medium to high-pressure wells. It has a higher yield strength and tensile strength compared to J55 and K55. It is also more resistant to corrosion and is often used in sour service applications. L80 is a higher strength steel grade that is commonly used in high-pressure wells. It has a higher yield strength and tensile strength compared to N80. It is also more resistant to corrosion and is often used in sour service applications. Seamless casing tubing is manufactured using a seamless process, which involves heating a solid billet of steel and then piercing it to form a hollow tube. This process ensures a uniform and consistent wall thickness, which is important for maintaining the integrity of the wellbore. The seamless casing tubing is then heat treated to improve its mechanical properties. This involves heating the tubing to a specific temperature and then cooling it rapidly to achieve the desired hardness and strength.
