Petroleum and natural gas industries - Formulae and calculations for the properties of casing, tubing, drill pipe and line pipe used as casing or tubing (ISO/TR 10400:2018)

This document illustrates the formulae and templates necessary to calculate the various pipe properties given in International Standards, including
—          pipe performance properties, such as axial strength, internal pressure resistance and collapse resistance,
—          minimum physical properties,
—          product assembly force (torque),
—          product test pressures,
—          critical product dimensions related to testing criteria,
—          critical dimensions of testing equipment, and
—          critical dimensions of test samples.
For formulae related to performance properties, extensive background information is also provided regarding their development and use.
Formulae presented here are intended for use with pipe manufactured in accordance with ISO 11960 or API 5CT, ISO 11961 or API 5D, and ISO 3183 or API 5L, as applicable. These formulae and templates can be extended to other pipe with due caution. Pipe cold-worked during production is included in the scope of this document (e.g. cold rotary straightened pipe). Pipe modified by cold working after production, such as expandable tubulars and coiled tubing, is beyond the scope of this document.
Application of performance property formulae in this document to line pipe and other pipe is restricted to their use as casing/tubing in a well or laboratory test, and requires due caution to match the heat-treat process, straightening process, yield strength, etc., with the closest appropriate casing/tubing product. Similar caution is exercised when using the performance formulae for drill pipe.
This document and the formulae contained herein relate the input pipe manufacturing parameters in ISO 11960 or API 5CT, ISO 11961 or API 5D, and ISO 3183 or API 5L to expected pipe performance. The design formulae in this document are not to be understood as a manufacturing warranty. Manufacturers are typically licensed to produce tubular products in accordance with manufacturing specifications which control the dimensions and physical properties of their product. Design formulae, on the other hand, are a reference point for users to characterize tubular performance and begin their own well design or research of pipe input properties.
This document is not a design code. It only provides formulae and templates for calculating the properties of tubulars intended for use in downhole applications. This document does not provide any guidance about loads that can be encountered by tubulars or about safety margins needed for acceptable design. Users are responsible for defining appropriate design loads and selecting adequate safety factors to develop safe and efficient designs. The design loads and safety factors will likely be selected based on historical practice, local regulatory requirements, and specific well conditions.
All formulae and listed values for performance properties in this document assume a benign environment and material properties conforming to ISO 11960 or API 5CT, ISO 11961 or API 5D and ISO 3183 or API 5L. Other environments can require additional analyses, such as that outlined in Annex D.
Pipe performance properties under dynamic loads and pipe connection sealing resistance are excluded from the scope of this document.
Throughout this document tensile stresses are positive.

ISO/TR 10400:2018(E)
Introduction
Performance design of tubulars for the petroleum and natural gas industries, whether it is formulated
by deterministic or probabilistic calculations, compares anticipated loads to which the tubular can
be subjected to the anticipated resistance of the tubular to each load. Either or both of the load and
resistance can be modified by a design factor.
Both deterministic and probabilistic approaches to performance properties are addressed in this
document. The deterministic approach uses specific geometric and material property values to calculate
a single performance property value. The probabilistic method treats the same variables as random
and thus arrives at a statistical distribution of a performance property. A performance distribution in
combination with a defined lower percentile determines the final design formula.
Both the well design process itself and the definition of anticipated loads are currently outside the scope
of standardization for the petroleum and natural gas industries. Neither of these aspects is addressed
in this document. Rather, it serves to identify useful formulae for obtaining the resistance of a tubular
to specified loads, independent of their origin. It provides limit state formulae (see annexes) which are
useful for determining the resistance of an individual sample whose geometric and material properties
are given, and design formulae which are useful for well design based on conservative geometric and
material parameters.
Whenever possible, decisions on specific constants to use in a design formula are left to the discretion
of the reader.

Petroleum and natural gas industries — Formulae and
calculations for the properties of casing, tubing, drill pipe
and line pipe used as casing or tubing
1 Scope
This document illustrates the formulae and templates necessary to calculate the various pipe properties
given in International Standards, including
— pipe performance properties, such as axial strength, internal pressure resistance and collapse
resistance,
— minimum physical properties,
— product assembly force (torque),
— product test pressures,
— critical product dimensions related to testing criteria,
— critical dimensions of testing equipment, and
— critical dimensions of test samples.
For formulae related to performance properties, extensive background information is also provided
regarding their development and use.
Formulae presented here are intended for use with pipe manufactured in accordance with ISO 11960 or
API 5CT, ISO 11961 or API 5D, and ISO 3183 or API 5L, as applicable. These formulae and templates can
be extended to other pipe with due caution. Pipe cold-worked during production is included in the scope
of this document (e.g. cold rotary straightened pipe). Pipe modified by cold working after production,
such as expandable tubulars and coiled tubing, is beyond the scope of this document.
Application of performance property formulae in this document to line pipe and other pipe is restricted
to their use as casing/tubing in a well or laboratory test, and requires due caution to match the heat-
treat process, straightening process, yield strength, etc., with the closest appropriate casing/tubing
product. Similar caution is exercised when using the performance formulae for drill pipe.
This document and the formulae contained herein relate the input pipe manufacturing parameters in
ISO 11960 or API 5CT, ISO 11961 or API 5D, and ISO 3183 or API 5L to expected pipe performance. The
design formulae in this document are not to be understood as a manufacturing warranty. Manufacturers
are typically licensed to produce tubular products in accordance with manufacturing specifications
which control the dimensions and physical properties of their product. Design formulae, on the other
hand, are a reference point for users to characterize tubular performance and begin their own well
design or research of pipe input properties.
This document is not a design code. It only provides formulae and templates for calculating the
properties of tubulars intended for use in downhole applications. This document does not provide
any guidance about loads that can be encountered by tubulars or about safety margins needed for
acceptable design. Users are responsible for defining appropriate design loads and selecting adequate
safety factors to develop safe and efficient designs. The design loads and safety factors will likely be
selected based on historical practice, local regulatory requirements, and specific well conditions.
All formulae and listed values for performance properties in this document assume a benign
environment and material properties conforming to ISO 11960 or API 5CT, ISO 11961 or API 5D and
ISO/TR 10400:2018(E)
ISO 3183 or API 5L. Other environments can require additional analyses, such as that outlined in
Annex D.
Pipe performance properties under dynamic loads and pipe connection sealing resistance are excluded
from the scope of this document.
Throughout this document tensile stresses are positive.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https: //www .iso .org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http: //www .electropedia .org/
3.1
Cauchy stress
true stress
force applied to the surface of a body divided by the current area of that surface
3.2
coefficient of variance
dimensionless measure of the dispersion of a random variable, calculated by dividing the standard
deviation by the mean
3.3
design formula
formula which, based on production measurements or specifications, provides a performance property
useful in design calculations
Note 1 to entry: A design formula can be defined by applying reasonable extremes to the variables in a limit
state formula to arrive at a conservative value of expected performance. When statistically derived, the design
formula corresponds to a defined lower percentile of the resistance probability distribution curve.
3.4
deterministic
approach which assumes all variables controlling a performance property are known with certainty
Note 1 to entry: Pipe performance properties generally depend on one or more controlling parameters. A
deterministic formula uses specific geometric and material property values to calculate a single performance
property value. For design formulations, this value is the expected minimum.
3.5
ductile rupture
failure of a tube due to internal pressure and/or axial force in the plastic deformation range
3.6
e
Euler's constant
2,718 281 828

ISO/TR 10400:2018(E)
3.7
effective axial force
material axial force (pipe wall axial stress times cross-sectional area) adjusted for the effect of internal
and external pressure
Note 1 to entry: When a tubular is bent laterally into a circular arc, the pressures apply a lateral uniform
2 2
distributed load (UDL) of (p A − p A )/R. For small deflections, the curvature is defined as 1/R ≅ d y/dx , thus,
i i o o
2 2
this term can be grouped with the tension term F d y/dx in the governing differential formula. For bending and
[141]
buckling, the tubular therefore acts as if it were loaded by the effective axial force F = F − p A + p A . It
eff a i i o o
should be seen as a convenient grouping of terms, which determines the structural response: it does not exist as
a physical axial force.
3.8
engineering strain
dimensionless measure of the stretch of a deforming line element, defined as the change in length of the
line element divided by its original length
3.9
engineering stress
force applied to the surface of a body divided by the original area of that surface
3.10
fracture pressure
internal pressure at which a tube fails due to propagation of an imperfection
3.11
inspection threshold
maximum size of a crack-like imperfection which is defined to be acceptable by the inspection system
3.12
J-integral
measure of the intensity of the stress-strain field near the tip of a crack
3.13
label 1
dimensionless designation for the size or specified outside diameter that may be used when ordering pipe
3.14
label 2
dimensionless designation for the mass per unit length or wall thickness that may be used when
ordering pipe
3.15
limit state formula
formula which, when used with the measured geometry and material properties of a sample, produces
an estimate of the failure value of that sample
Note 1 to entry: A limit state formula describes the performance of an individual sample as closely as possible,
without regard for the tolerances to which the sample was built.
3.16
logarithmic strain
dimensionless measure of the stretch of a deforming line element, defined as the natural logarithm of
the ratio of the current length of the line element to its original length
Note 1 to entry: Alternatively, the logarithmic strain can be estimated as the natural logarithm of one plus the
engineering strain.
3.17
mass
label used to represent wall thickness of tube cross section for a given pipe size
ISO/TR 10400:2018(E)
3.18
pipe body yield
stress state necessary to initiate yield at any location in the pipe body
3.19
principal stress
stress on a principal plane for which the shear stress is zero
Note 1 to entry: For any general state of stress at any point, there exist three mutually perpendicular planes at
that point on which shearing stresses are zero. The remaining normal stress components on these three planes
are principal stresses. The largest of these three stresses is called the maximum principal stress.
3.20
probabilistic method
approach which uses distributions of geometric and material property values to calculate a distribution
of performance property values
3.21
synthesis method
probability approach which addresses the uncertainty and likely values of pipe performance properties
by using distributions of geometric and material property values
Note 1 to entry: These distributions are combined with a limit state formula to determine the statistical
distribution of a performance property. The performance distribution in combination with a defined lower
percentile determines the final design formula.
3.22
template
procedural guide consisting of formulae, test methods and measurements for establishing design
performance properties
3.23
TPI
threads per inch
Note 1 to entry: 1 thread per inch = 0,039 4 threads per millimetre; 1 thread per millimetre = 25,4 threads per inch.
3.24
true stress-strain curve
plot of Cauchy stress (ordinate) versus logarithmic strain (abscissa)
3.25
yield
permanent, inelastic deformation
3.26
yield stress bias
ratio of actual yield stress to specified minimum yield stress
4 Symbols
A hand-tight standoff, turns
A empirical constant in historical API collapse formula
c
A area of the weaker connection component at the critical cross section
crit
A critical dimension on guided bend test jig, denoted as dimension A in ISO 3183 or API 5L
