scope:

This International Standard specifies the technical delivery conditions for steel drill pipes with upset pipe body ends and weld-on tool joints for use in drilling and production operations in petroleum and natural gas industries for three Product Specification Levels (PSL-1, PSL-2 and PSL-3). The requirements for PSL-1 are the basis of this International Standard. The requirements that define different levels of standard technical requirements for PSL-2 and PSL-3 are contained in Annex G. The list of drill pipes, main dimensions and masses covered by this International Standard are specified in SI units in Table A.1. Table C.1 provides the same information given in Table A.1 but uses USC units. A typical drill pipe configuration, main elements and lengths are shown in Figure B.1. This International Standard covers grades of drill pipe as follows: Grade E drill pipe High strength grades of drill pipe, Grades X, G and S.
