MANUFACTURING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION The Manufacturer shall produce a Manufacturing Procedure Specification (MPS) that details all the processes, technical controls, tests and inspections to be performed by the Manufacturer to ensure product consistency and compliance with the order requirements. Note: If required, a guidance document for producing an MPS can be obtained from the Purchaser on request.

MANUFACTURING PROCEDURE QUALIFICATION TEST 6.1 6.2 6.3 The Manufacturer shall perform a Manufacturing Procedure Qualification Test (MPQT) on the first pipe produced of each size, weight and grade, which is intended for the order. The MPQT pipes shall be subjected to the inspection and testing requirements of ISO 11960 (API 5CT) and this Specification. One set of production mechanical tests shall be performed on test specimens taken from each end of the MPQT pipe. For single lengths of pipe with specified minimum yield strengths 80,000 psi and above, and for all grades where pipes are rolled in double lengths, an additional set of production mechanical tests shall be performed on test specimens taken from the centre of the pipe. As part of the MPQT, the Manufacturer shall identify the types of defects that may be produced by the manufacturing processes used; see also Section 12.1.

6.4

PURCHASE ORDER PST 001 and TDR 001 shall supplement the purchase order for casing and tubing.

PURCHASER SURVEILLANCE 8.1 At the Purchasers request, the Manufacturer shall allow access to the Purchaser (or designated agent) for the surveillance of manufacturing and inspection activities at the Manufacturers works. If applicable, and should the Purchaser request it, the Manufacturer shall also arrange access for the surveillance of manufacturing and inspection activities performed by the Manufacturers suppliers. Surveillance shall be as described in PST 001 and TDR 001.

11.2 Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC) Test 11.2.1 This test only applies to ISO/API Grades C-90 and T-95. 11.2.2 One test specimen shall be taken from each of three pipes selected from the front, middle and end of each heat, i.e., three test specimens shall be taken per heat. 11.2.3 The specimens shall be tested in accordance with NACE TM-01-77 Method A. 11.2.4 For acceptance of the heat, each specimen tested must demonstrate a minimum SSC threshold value of 90% SMYS. 11.2.5 If any initial test specimen fails, a retest may be performed on two further test specimens taken from the area of the pipe adjacent to where the initial failed test specimen was taken. The heat shall be rejected if either of the retest specimens fails. 12 NON-DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION 12.1 Capabilities of Non-Destructive Inspection Techniques As part of the MPQT, the Manufacturer shall identify the capability of the proposed nondestructive test techniques and test equipment to detect the defects identified as part of the MPQT; see Section 6. 12.2 Test Methods 12.2.1 Automatic non-destructive inspection by both electromagnetic and ultrasonic techniques shall be performed on pipe with specified minimum yield strengths 65,000 psi and above. Pipe with specified minimum yield strengths below 65,000 psi shall be tested by using either automatic electromagnetic or ultrasonic techniques. All testing shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of ISO 11960 (API 5CT) and this Specification unless otherwise specified in the purchase order. 12.2.2 Casing and tubing with minimum specified yield strengths from 40,000 to 55,000 psi and Grade N-80 Type 1 shall also be inspected in accordance with the requirements of ISO 11960 (API 5CT) Annex A.1 (SR1), using OD longitudinal and transverse notches and ID longitudinal notches; all notches shall be L3 (10%).

Specification for OCTG Seamless Casing and Tubing : Issue Feb 2001

12.2.3 Casing and tubing with minimum specified yield strengths from 80,000 to 95,000 psi, and Grade P110 material, shall also be inspected in accordance with the requirements of ISO 11960 (API 5CT) Annex A.2 (SR2), using OD and ID longitudinal and transverse notches. Notches shall be L2 (5%) except that the ID notches for electromagnetic testing may be relaxed to L3 (10%) at the Manufacturers discretion. 12.3 Calibration & Repeatability Checks 12.3.1 Calibration of non-destructive inspection equipment with the reference standard shall be fully dynamic using the same size, material type and weight as the pipe to be processed. 12.3.2 Prior to any production run, a repeatability check of the automatic non-destructive inspection equipment shall be performed to demonstrate a consistent repeatable response from the calibration reflectors. 12.3.3 Repeatability checks shall be performed by passing the calibration reference standard through the system, at the normal production travel speed, a minimum of 10 times with the pipe rotated 90 for each pass. 12.3.4 The alarm level for the automatic ultrasonic production examination shall be set at an agreed level below the lowest amplitude signal produced by any of the standard reflectors during the repeatability check. 12.4 Wall Thickness Examination 12.4.1 The wall thickness examination by automatic ultrasonic examination shall cover 100% of the pipe body surface unless otherwise agreed between the Purchaser and the Manufacturer. 12.4.2 Where the Manufacturer can provide statistical evidence of a consistent wall thickness produced by the mandrel/ plug mill process, the wall thickness examination coverage may be reduced to 25%, subject to Purchaser approval. 12.4.3 The remaining wall thickness of all areas dressed by grinding (grinds ) shall be individually verified. 12.4.4 100% of the pipe volume shall be examined by automatic ultrasonic inspection to verify the wall thickness in a situation where the internal pipe surface has been ground at a distance greater than 400 mm (16 in.) from the pipe ends, or where more than 10% of the external pipe surface area has been ground. 12.5 Records of Tests Paper chart or electronic data records shall be available for all automatic non-destructive inspection and calibration operations and shall be identifiable to the actual pipe tested. 13 DRIFTING 13.1 Pipe Label 1 : 7-5/8 in and below shall be drift tested with a 1067 mm (42 in) long drift. For pipe sizes Label 1 : 7-5/8 and above the minimum length of drift shall be 305 mm (12 in). 13.2 Chromium plated or nylon drifts shall be used for 13Cr pipes. 13.3 Where drift testing is performed by mechanical means, the Manufacturer shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Purchaser that the pipes may also be drifted manually. 13.4 Alternative drift testing shall be performed on all pipes specified in ISO 11960 (API 5CT) Tables C.32 and E.32. 13.5 Alternative drift testing of non-ISO/API sized pipes shall be as specified in Table 3. Alternative drift requirements for pipes not listed in Table 3 will be specified in the purchase order.
