OCTG 6″ 23# 15CR 125 Plain End R3

Deep, high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT), sweet (CO2) environments 15 Chrome, or Super 15 Chrome, is a quenched and tempered martensitic-ferritic stainless steel intended for corrosion resistance in sweet (CO2) environments with moderate chloride content, requiring high strength up to 400°F. 15 Chrome offers improved mechanical properties and increased resistance to the effects of CO2 , chlorides, pH, and temperatures when compared with standard 13 Chrome. The higher strength and temperature resistance, relative to Super 13 Chrome, allow it to be used in deeper wells with high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) conditions as downhole tubular components, packers, and other subsurface equipment. 15 Chrome may be considered as a cost-effective alternative to duplex stainless steels such as 22 Chrome for higher pressure and temperature HPHT conditions. However, all environmental factors, including H2S, CO2 , temperature, pH, and chloride concentration, should be considered before final material selection. Super 15 Chrome, grade 125, is not recommended for sour service.

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

15 Chrome, also known as Super 15 Chrome, is a quenched and tempered martensitic-ferritic stainless steel designed for corrosion resistance in sweet (CO2) environments with moderate chloride levels, offering high strength up to 400°F. Compared to standard 13 Chrome, 15 Chrome provides enhanced mechanical properties and superior resistance to the effects of CO2, chlorides, pH variations, and higher temperatures. Its improved strength and temperature tolerance, relative to Super 13 Chrome, make it suitable for deeper wells operating under high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) conditions, where it is used in downhole tubular components, packers, and other subsurface equipment.

In certain applications, 15 Chrome may serve as a more cost-effective alternative to duplex stainless steels like 22 Chrome in HPHT environments. However, it is crucial to evaluate all relevant environmental factors, such as H2S, CO2, temperature, pH, and chloride concentration, before finalizing material selection.

Super 15 Chrome, grade 125, is not recommended for use in sour service conditions.
