ISO 13679:2019
Petroleum and natural gas industries - Procedures for testing casing and tubing connections
This document specifies tests to perform in order to determine the galling tendency, sealing performance and structural integrity of casing and tubing connections. "Casing" and "tubing" apply to the service application and not to the diameter of the pipe. This document covers the testing of connections for the most commonly encountered well conditions. Not all possible service scenarios are included. For example, the presence of a corrosive fluid, which can influence the service performance of a connection, is not considered. This document supplements API RP 5C5:2017, the requirements of which are applicable with the exceptions specified in this document.

<p>ISO 13679:2002 establishes minimum design verification testing procedures and acceptance criteria for casing and tubing connections for the oil and natural gas industries. These physical tests are part of a design verification process and provide objective evidence that the connection conforms to the manufacturer's claimed test load envelope and limit loads.</p> <p>It categorizes test severity into four test classes.</p> <p>It describes a system of identification codes for connections.</p> <p>ISO 13679:2002 does not provide the statistical basis for risk analysis.</p> <p>ISO 13679:2002 addresses only three of the five distinct types of primary loads to which casing and tubing strings are subjected in wells: fluid pressure (internal and/or external), axial force (tension or compression), bending (buckling and/or wellbore deviation), as well as make-up torsion. It does not address rotation torsion, non-axisymetric (area, line or point contact). </p> <p>ISO 13679:2002 specifies tests to be performed to determine the galling tendency, sealing performance and structural integrity of casing and tubing connections that apply to the service application and not to the diameter of the pipe. </p>
The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.
