ÖNORM EN ISO 11961

This document 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 form the basis of this document. The requirements that define different levels of standard technical requirements for PSL-2 and PSL-3 are in Annex G. This document covers the following grades of drill-pipe: - grade E drill-pipe; - high-strength grades of drill-pipe, grades X, G and S; - enhanced H2S resistance drill pipe, grades D and F. A typical drill-pipe configuration is given, showing main elements and lengths (see Figure B.1). The main dimensions and masses of the grades of drill-pipe are given in both SI units (see Table A.1) and in USC units (see Table C.1). This document can also be used for drill-pipe with tool joints not specified by ISO or API standards. By agreement between purchaser and manufacturer, this document can also be applied to other drill-pipe body and/or tool-joint dimensions. This document lists supplementary requirements that can optionally be agreed between purchaser and manufacturer, for testing, performance verification and non-destructive examination (see Annex E). This document does not consider performance properties, nor performance degradation of the product when in service.
