SM110T
General description
SM110T is a Carbon steel OCTG material that provides enhanced and guaranteed Collapse resistance
compared to API ratings. In addition SM110T production order is delivered with a Collapse proof test.
API Collapse rating is an empirical guideline derived from Collapse testing results, on a statistical
scale and conservatively using a worst case scenario approach. Actual Collapse resistance of OCTG
seamless pipe is affected by a large number of parameters. Nippon Steel has developed an unrivaled
know-how in mastering the most influential parameters, and interlocking with best-in-class quality control,
tighter than API 5CT/ISO 11960.
Special application: Please contact Nippon Steel engineer, should You require specific size, weight,
drift, or any other information.
Reference document
Applicable environment
For each SM110T production run, a Collapse test is carried out with the same frequency as the tensile
test using state-of-the-art testing procedure.

Technical information
Pipe dimensions such as Diameter (D) or wall thickness (t) and mechanical characteristics such
as the material Yield Strength are the first parameters dictating tubular Collapse resistance. Figure 1
specifically illustrates the commensurate influence of the D/t ratio (Diameter over wall thickness).
Nippon Steel, on SM-T High Collapse series, applies tighter tolerances to influential parameters, such as
ovality, eccentricity, OD and wall thickness. In addition, a specific chemistry and strict heat treatment
control are used to ensure steel structural homogeneity and low residual stresses.
Figure 1 demonstrates SM110T enhanced performances compared to API P110 collapse resistance
(derived from API 5C3 / ISO 10400 formula), through its physical test results, guaranteeing the published
minimum Collapse ratings.
Table 2 features SM110T High Collapse values for a large selection of pipe sizes. They exceed
API P110 collpase ratings by a factor ranging from +15% to +45%.
Table 2 covers most common sizes and wall thicknesses; upon request Nippon Steel can provide larger
sizes up to 16", specific or tailor-made sizes, weights or special drifts.
For additional information about material performances please contact Nippon Steel engineers.
Upon request, Nippon Steel can provide historical supply of SM-T materials.
While state-of-the-art HSE rules are applied throughout Nippon Steel manufacturing process, proprietary
and specific HSE regulations shall be applied along the life cycle of the pipe until it reaches its final
position in the well, according to each operator’s rules. This particularly applies to all phases of handling
and transportation, assembly on the rig floor, and rig return if applicable. OCTG are heavy and by nature
unstable. Special care shall be paid to potential risks of injury whenever handling OCTGs. Walking on
pipes shall be avoided at all times. Usage of Personal Protection Equipments (PPE) is mandatory.
Equipment and procedures will be established to capture the possible wastes generated during
maintenance (cleaning, coating, doping) and disposed according to local regulations. This applies in
particular to storage dope, running dope, or cleaning water wastes.
Best practices for transportation, handling and storage of OCTG in general are covered by ISO 10405 /
API RP5C1. VAM Book is also a good source of handling practices for VAM connections.
