OCTG 9.625″ 53.5# 2550 125 Vam Top R3

Alloy 2550 (UNS N06255) is a cold hardened nickel-based alloy intended for corrosion resistance to highly sour (H2S) environments with high chloride content, requiring high strength up to 400°F. The high nickel and molybdenum content of 2550 extends the sour service limits of nickel alloys while also providing excellent resistance to chlorides and dissolved oxygen. Therefore, it is commonly used for downhole tubular components, packers, and other subsurface equipment in severely sour wells with high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) conditions, saltwater injection wells, and acidic injection wells. However, all environmental factors, including H2S, CO2 , temperature, pH, and chloride concentration, should be considered before final material selection. For sour service applications, 2550 is classified in MR0175/ISO15156 as a type 4d alloy, with no restrictions to a partial pressure of H2S below 300°F and resistant to 300 psi H2S at 425°F. VAM TOP® is recognized as setting the standard in reliability and performance in threaded and coupled premium connections. With a track record of over 30 years, the connection minimizes the risks that result from the most severe combined loads making it a suitable solution for even the most critical applications.

During this phase of PipeFacts™, material is received into one of our regional storage and inspection hubs, and we put material through a more detailed inspection. Our teams of inspectors inspects the pipe body for traceability and potential body defects and inspects the threads while a quality team in the office evaluates the as produced specification of the material test reports (MTRs).

Disclaimer: The burst and collapse figures displayed are based on the API dimension tolerance of 87.5% of nominal wall thickness. Note that martensitic, duplex, super duplex, and nickel alloys often have tighter dimensional tolerances, therefore, increased strength ratings. The properties do not factor connection performance ratings. If your application requires more information ratings, please contact our technical services team, and we happily assist you.

Alloy Description

Alloy 2550 (UNS N06255) is a cold-hardened nickel-based alloy designed for corrosion resistance in highly sour (H2S) environments with high chloride levels, offering high strength up to 400°F.

With its elevated nickel and molybdenum content, 2550 Alloy enhances the sour service performance of nickel alloys while providing superior protection against chlorides and dissolved oxygen. This makes it ideal for use in downhole tubular components, packers, and other subsurface equipment in severely sour wells under high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) conditions, as well as in saltwater injection wells and Acid Gas Injection (AGI) wells. However, careful consideration of all environmental factors, such as H2S, CO2, temperature, pH, and chloride concentration, is essential before selecting the final material.

For sour service applications, Alloy 2550 is categorized as a type 4d alloy in MR0175/ISO15156, with no limitations on H2S partial pressure below 300°F, and it can withstand 300 psi H2S at 425°F.
