MATERIAL SELECTION GUIDE
Tubular Grade Comparison Principles
Grades with similar yield strength are not automatically equivalent. A responsible comparison considers the complete specification, chemistry, manufacture, heat treatment, properties and acceptance rules.
Compare the full definition
Strength is only one part of a material grade.
- Chemical composition
- Yield, tensile and elongation
- Impact toughness
- Hardness and heat treatment
Check product and service context
A designation valid for one product form or service may not transfer to another.
- Product standard and edition
- Manufacturing route
- Dimensions and test locations
- Sour, low-temperature or offshore duty
