and suitability of use of the technical information. Workstrings International cannot assume responsibility for the results obtained through the use of this material. No expressed or implied warranty is intended. Drill pipe assembly properties are calculated based on uniform OD and wall
thickness. No safety factor is applied. The information provided for various inspection classes and for various wear conditions (remaining body wall) is for information only and does not represent or imply acceptable operation limits. It is the responsibility of the customer and the end
user to determine the appropriate performance ratings, acceptable use of the product, maintain safe operational practices, and to apply a prudent  safety factor suitable for the application. For API connections that have different pin and box ID’s, tool joint ID refers to the pin ID. Per
Chapter B, Section 4 VII of the IADC drilling manual, it is recommended that drilling torque should not exceed 80% of MUT.
