Preface
13% Chrome martensitic stainless steel is designed for use in highly corrosive environments.
It should be handle with care to ensure the pipe has no scratches or dents on the external or internal surfaces before being run in the well. Improper handling can create inclusions on the pipe body and help accelerate corrosion in an already corrosive environment.
The following handling and storage procedures are designed to ensure the pipe reaches the well site in the best possible condition.
