API 5CT is standard technical specifications for steel casing and tubing pipes used for oil wells in petroleum and natural gas industries.
Besides casing and tubing, it also includes pup joints, coupling stock, coupling material, and accessory materials, and establishes requirements for three product specification levels (PSL-1, PSL-2, and PSL-3). The requirements for PSL-1 are the basis of this standard.

Casing and Tubing is a kind of OCTG pipe
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment methods for API 5CT casing and tubing is an important factor to differ each grade. Products requiring heat treatment shall be subjected to full body and full length heat treatment. The heat-treated upsetting product should be heat treated full body, full length after upsetting.
A separately heat treated coupling blank is acceptable. If the finishing temperature is higher than the upper critical temperature of the treated steel and the pipe is air cooled, it shall be considered to be normalized.
in case of welding type, weld seam shall be heat treated to a minimum temperature of 540 ℃(1000°F), or a certain treatment method shall be used to make the no untempered martensite structure in the weld. Beastie boys flac.
N80 Type 1 and Type Q
Steel grade N80 type 1 products shall be normalized or normalized and tempered at the option of the manufacturer.
N80Q steel grade products shall be quenched and tempered.
N80Q steel grade products shall be quenched and tempered.
R95
R95 steel grade shall be quenched and tempered.
L80
When tempered at temperatures below 620 ℃(1150°F) , and grade L80 grade 13 Cr may be embrittled.
Straightening
R95
R95 casing and tubing shall not be stretched or expanded cold working after final tempering, except for cold working which is necessary for normal straightening and not more than 3% of compression cold working.
M65 and L80
Except for the cold working required for normal straightening, steel grade M65 and L80 products shall not be cold worked after final heat treatment.
C90 and T95
C90 and T95 products can be cold-rotated straightened, but the pipe must be heated to a minimum temperature of 480 ℃(1000°F) degrees for stress relief after straightening. If necessary, light gag straightening for steel grade C90 and T95 products are allowed.
C110
If necessary, the product shall be cold-rotated straightened and subsequently stress-relieved at temperatures between 30℃to 55℃ (50°F to 100 °F) below the final specified tempering temperature, or hot-rotated straightened at temperatures not more than 165℃ (300°F) below the final specified tempering temperature of . If necessary, it is allowed to do light gag straightening.
Q125
Gag-press straightening or hot-rotating straightening can be performed for straightening , but the temperature at the end of the rotary straightening should not be less than 400 ℃ (750°F) (unless a higher temperature minimum is specified on the order). If the hot rotary straightening method cannot be used, the product can also be cold-rotated straightened, but the stress relief must be performed at 510 ℃ (950°F) after straightening. Product can not be subjected to stress relief after cold rotary straightening only by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
Chemical Composition in API 5CT Specification
The product shall comply with the requirements specified in the chemical composition table for the specified steel grade and type. For the C110 steel grade, the manufacturer shall report when the purchaser asks for the lowest and highest ratios of all elements intentionally added to each batch (regardless of the purpose of its addition).
Tensile Properties
The product shall meet the tensile performance requirements specified in this standard. The tensile properties of the upset casing and tubing (except for elongation) shall be consistent with the requirements of the pipe body. In case of dispute, the properties of the upset area (except for the elongation) shall be determined by cutting the specimen from the upset.

Labels and Sizes
In the dimensional table of this standard, the pipe is named with the labels and sizes (outer diameter). The outer diameter of external upset pipe refers to the outer diameter of the pipe body, not the outer diameter of upset portion.

Dimensions and Masses
The pipe shall be supplied in accordance with the sizes, wall thickness and tolerance masses specified on the order. Other plain end pipe sizes and wall thicknesses are available upon purchase and manufacturer agreement. Coupling stock, coupling materials and accessory materials shall be supplied in the required size of the order, or the size of the coupling material shall be as specified in the manufacturer’s internal requirements.
The accuracy of all measuring equipment used for receiving or rejecting shall be verified at least once per operating shift, with the exception of threaded ring gauges, plug gauges and weighing implements.
According to the provisions of this standard, If a measuring device that is calibrated or verified is subjected to abnormal or severe conditions sufficient to affect its accuracy, it should be recalibrated or reverified before further used.
Outside diameter tolerances
