ISO 13628-5:2009,Petroleum and natural gas industries – Design and operation of subsea production systems – Subsea umbilicals.
This International Standard is based on API RP 5A3, second edition, July 2003, with errata and inclusion of all clauses of API RP 7A1, first edition, November 1992, incorporated into Annex 1.
ISO 13628-5:2009 specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the manufacture, testing and selection of thread compounds for use on casing tubing line pipe and drill stem elements based on the current industry consensus of good engineering practice.
It is intended that the words casing and tubing apply to the service application, rather than to the diameter of the pipe.
When evaluating the suitability of a thread compound, the user can define the service conditions and then consider field trials and field service experience in addition to laboratory test results. Appropriate supplementary tests can be utilized for specific applications which are not evaluated by the tests herein. The user and manufacturer are encouraged to discuss service applications and limitations of the compound being considered.
ISO 13628-5:2009 provides requirements, recommendations and methods for the testing of thread compounds intended for use on ISO/API thread forms, as well as proprietary casing,tubing,line pipe and drill stem elements with rotary shouldered connections. The tests outlined are used to evaluate the critical performance properties and physical and chemical characteristics of thread compounds under laboratory conditions.
