gage, ultrasonic thickness gage, a calibrated light meter
to verify illumination, and a light capable of illuminating
the entire accessible internal surface of the pipe are
required. Light intensity meter shall have a tag or sticker
attached showing calibration in the past six months. The
tag or sticker shall show the date of calibration, the due
date of the next calibration, as well as the company and

tion of the internal upset run-out, a hinged mirror capable
of extending into the pipe ID is required. Additionally, a
wooden stick or a blunt putty knife or similar metal spatula
is required to test the adhesion around areas of damaged
internal plastic coating.

¶ 3.4.3.c - Add new paragraph
ADD:
c. For examination of internal plastic coating, the
internal surfaces of the pipe shall be free from drilling
mud, chemical residues, dust, dirt, and other visible
contaminants.
NOTE: For cleaning of pipe’s internal surface,
use of high pressure water jetting equipment is
recommended. Other pipe cleaning methods
may also be utilized. If high pressure water jetting
equipment is utilized, it is recommended that the
water pressure not exceed 15,000 psi, the water
blast not be at a 90° angle to the coating surface and
a pencil point nozzle not be used. It is recommended
that a commercially available 360° nozzle be used.

ADD:
3.4.5 Evaluation of Internal Plastic Coating:
a. The ID surface of internally coated pipe shall be
examined for signs of deterioration of the internal
plastic coating in the tube area (tube area includes
the tube body and the internal transition area). Figure
3.4.1 illustrates the tool joint and the tube area.
b. The overall drill pipe classification shall be based
on the internal coating loss in the tube area (which
includes tube body and transition area only). Internal
coating loss in the tool joint (even if up to 100%) shall
not cause downgrading of pipe. However, internal
coating loss in the tool joint continuing or extending
into the transition area shall be thoroughly evaluated
for coating adhesion based on the guidelines
provided in this procedure.
Effective Date: January 1, 2015
with Coating Reference Condition 3 or 4 shall be
rejected unless waived by the customer. Criteria for
determining each Coating Reference Condition have
been provided below in table 3.4.1. Determination
of condition number 1, 2, 3 or 4 shall be based on
worst condition listed within the condition number
column in table 3.4.1. For example, if a particular drill
pipe presents overall coating loss of less than 20%
but shows delamination, then the drill pipe shall be
classified as Condition 4.
e. Overall coating loss is based on the overall internal
coating loss in the entire tube body and transition
region (tube area). Localized internal coating loss
is loss of coating in an area that includes the entire
360° internal surface area in any linear section of
length 3 feet in tube area.

c. For the purposes of this procedure, internal coating f. Sample description of coating damage and defects

Delamination (peeling) Note 3 No Note 4 No Note 4 No Note 4 Can be present
Underfilm Corrosion Note 3 No No Can be present Can be present
Notes:
1 The overall coating classification will be determined by the coating classification in the tube area (which includes tube body and transition
area only). Coating showing signs of delamination shall be added to the lost coating to generate an accurate percentage of coating
damage.
2 A borescope may be used to evaluate the coating condition more closely wherever necessary.
3 Underfilm corrosion and coating delamination can be determined with obvious peeling of the coating around areas of damage. To check
the coating adhesion, a wooden stick or a blunt putty knife or metal spatula shall be used to gently prod the coating region. Loosely
adhered coating shall be removed if undercreep is present.
4 No signs of delamination shall be visible even after pipe has been cleaned to meet requirements provided in paragraph 3.4.3.
