Specification for OCTG Crossovers : Issue Feb 2001

SCOPE 1.1 This Specification, based on the recommended practices of BPA-D-003, gives the technical requirements for OCTG crossovers to be manufactured and supplied for use throughout BP. This Specification is applicable to crossovers to be manufactured from ISO 11960 (API 5CT) material Grades and certain Purchaser free-issue material if the requirements of Section 7 of this specification are met. This specification may or may not be suitable if manufacturing crossovers from material Grades not meeting ISO 11960 (API 5CT) requirements; therefore guidance should be sought from the UTG Houston Tubulars Team if crossovers are to be made from other materials.

MATERIAL 7.1 The material used for manufacturing crossovers shall be in accordance with the requirements of ISO 11960 (API 5CT), latest edition, supplemented by the requirements of GS 102-1 and this Specification. Material supplied to this specification shall also meet the requirements of NACE MR-0175 with the exception of Grades N80, C95, P110 and Q125, which are not normally intended for sour service. Note that other material Grades meeting ISO 11960 (API 5CT) requirements also meet NACE MR-0175 requirements, except that material Grades H, J and K shall be hardness tested to confirm the maximum 22 HRC requirement of clause 3.2.1 of NACE MR-0175 is being met. Corrosion resistant alloys (CRAs), which are not ISO 11960 (API 5CT) Grades, such as martensitic 13Cr alloys (e.g., Super 13Cr steel) and duplex stainless steel, may be used subject to the material being free-issued by the Purchaser and having been qualified for use in the specific application conditions. Materials not in compliance with this specification shall not be used for crossover manufacture without prior consultation with the UTG Houston Tubulars Team. Crossovers shall be manufactured from casing, tubing, coupling stock or forged bar stock. Where crossovers are to be machined from hot -forged bar stock, a reduction ratio of at least 4 to 1 shall be used. Welding of the material for repair or other purposes shall not be permitted. The Manufacturer shall ensure full traceability of all material used to manufacture crossovers and shall maintain records of any subsequent operations that may alter material properties, e.g., heat treatment.
