Casing coupling quality directly affects well safety. Learn critical inspection items for oil‑field couplings before delivery.
Casing and tubing couplings are key connecting components in OCTG systems. Defective couplings may lead to thread leakage, connection failure and serious down‑hole risks.
Major inspection items include:
1. Visual appearance: no crack, scratch, dent or corrosion on coupling surface.
2. Thread inspection: thread gauge shall be used to check thread dimension, pitch and tooth shape.
3. Hardness test: hardness shall comply with corresponding API 5CT requirements for different steel grades.
4. Dimension check: outer diameter, inner diameter and length tolerance.
5. Marking verification: steel grade, specification, standard logo are marked clearly.
All our couplings go through above‑mentioned full inspections before shipment. Inspection reports can be provided for customers’ reference.
