ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY

Material & Grade Selection

Material requirements evaluated against strength, toughness, temperature, corrosion environment and the governing specification.

Oil and gas tubular products

ENGINEERING QUESTION

Does the requested material fit the actual service environment?

OAK organizes the available technical information into a controlled basis for quotation and execution. The scope is adjusted to the product, application and purchaser requirements.

Material & Grade Selection for oil and gas tubular supply

REQUIRED INPUTS

Start with the governing information.

Incomplete enquiries can still be reviewed; missing inputs are identified before a final supply commitment is made.

  1. 01Pressure, temperature, loads and design life
  2. 02H₂S, CO₂, chlorides, water chemistry and other media
  3. 03Required strength, toughness and hardness limits
  4. 04Applicable material and supplementary test requirements

ENGINEERING WORK

A practical review that supports execution.

The review turns source documents and operating inputs into decisions that manufacturing, quality and procurement teams can use.

01

Screen grade families against the service envelope

02

Review heat treatment and product-form limitations

03

Identify toughness, SSC, HIC or corrosion-test needs

04

Check compatibility with welding, connections and processing

WORKING OUTPUTS

Documents that carry the decision forward.

The exact deliverables are agreed for the enquiry and may form part of the order review package.

01Material selection basis
02Grade and heat-treatment requirements
03Supplementary test schedule
04Material acceptance and traceability points

DECISION GATES

What must be clear before execution.

Clear decision gates reduce commercial ambiguity and help prevent specification details from being lost between quotation, manufacture and release.
