How to rule out manufacturing defects in NMDC fracture: ASTM A262 testing, residual stress measurement, and metallography — illustrated by a P550 drill collar failure case in a high-CO2 offshore well.
SSC Failure in R95 Oil Tubing: Sour-Service Risk and Grade Selection Guide
R95 tubing SSC failure case study: S²⁻ exposure at 221.2 mg/L, NACE MR0175 hardness limits, API 5CT grade comparison, and practical sour-service material selection for oilfield engineers.
Non-Magnetic Drill Collar Steel: Blooming & Radial Forging Process Guide
How two-heat initial rolling solves the ESR ingot blooming challenge for Cr-Mn-N non-magnetic drill collar steel — heating parameters, radial forging press loads, and UT acceptance data from production trials.
Steel Strip Width Measurement and Deviation Warning for Spiral Welded Pipe: Grating Ruler + Siemens PLC300 Implementation
Harris Lee explains how a three-station grating-ruler measurement system integrated with a Siemens PLC300, MCGS HMI, and 4G cloud access solves the strip deviation, off-milling, uplift, and distortion problems that undermine forming quality in spiral submerged arc welded pipe production — and why controlling working strip width to within 1 mm matters for downstream weld integrity.
