Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 10405 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and
offshore structures for petroleum and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 5, Casing, tubing and drill pipe.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10405:1993), which has been technically revised.

4 Running and pulling casing
4.1 Preparation and inspection before running
4.1.1 New casing is delivered free of injurious defects as defined in ISO 11960 or API Specification 5CT and
within the practical limits of the inspection procedures prescribed therein. Some users have found that, for a limited
number of critical well applications, these procedures do not result in casing sufficiently free of defects to meet their
needs for such critical applications. Various nondestructive inspection services have been employed by users to
ensure that the desired quality of casing is being run. In view of this practice, it is suggested that the individual user:
a) Familiarize himself with inspection practices specified in the standards and employed by the respective mills,
and with the definition of “injurious defect” contained in the standards.
b) Thoroughly evaluate any nondestructive inspection to be used by him on tubular goods to assure himself that
the inspection does in fact correctly locate and differentiate injurious defects from other variables that can be
and frequently are sources of misleading “defect” signals with such inspection methods.
4.1.2 All casing, whether new, used or reconditioned, should always be handled with thread protectors in place.
Casing should be handled at all times on racks or on wooden or metal surfaces free of rocks, sand or dirt other
than normal drilling mud. When lengths of casing are inadvertently dragged in the dirt, the threads should be
recleaned and serviced again as outlined in 4.1.7.
4.1.3 Slip elevators are recommended for long strings. Both spider and elevator slips should be clean and sharp
and should fit properly. Slips should be extra long for heavy casing strings. The spider shall be level.
NOTE Slip and tong marks are injurious. Every possible effort should be made to keep such damage at a minimum by
using proper up-to-date equipment.
4.1.4 If collar-pull elevators are used, the bearing surface should be carefully inspected for (a) uneven wear that
may produce a side lift on the coupling with danger of it jumping off, and (b) uniform distribution of the load when
applied over the bearing face of the coupling.
4.1.5 Spider and elevator slips should be examined and watched to see that all lower together. If they lower
unevenly, there is danger of denting the pipe or badly slip-cutting it.
4.1.6 Care shall be exercised, particularly when running long casing strings, to ensure that the slip bushing or
bowl is in good condition. Tongs may be sized to produce 1,5 % of the calculated pullout strength (see ISO 10400
or API Bulletin 5C3, with the units changed to N�m if necessary) (150 % of the guideline torque given in Table 1).
Tongs should be examined for wear on hinge pins and hinge surfaces. The backup line attachment to the backup
post should be corrected, if necessary, to be level with the tong in the backup position so as to avoid uneven load
distribution on the gripping surfaces of the casing. The length of the backup line should be such as to cause
minimum bending stresses on the casing and to allow full stroke movement of the makeup tong.

ISO 10405:2000(E)
4.1.7 The following precautions should be taken in the preparation of casing threads for makeup in the casing
strings:
a) Immediately before running, remove thread protectors from both field and coupling ends and clean the threads
thoroughly, repeating as additional rows become uncovered.
b) Carefully inspect the threads. Those found damaged, even slightly, should be laid aside unless satisfactory
means are available for correcting thread damage.
c) The length of each piece of casing shall be measured prior to running. A steel tape calibrated in millimetres
(feet) to the nearest 3,0 mm (0,01 ft) should be used. The measurement should be made from the outermost
face of the coupling or box to the position on the externally threaded end where the coupling or the box stops
when the joint is made up power-tight. On round-thread joints, this position is to the plane of the vanish point
on the pipe; on buttress-thread casing, this position is to the base of the triangle stamp on the pipe; and on
extreme-line casing, this position is to the shoulder on the externally threaded end. The total of the individual
lengths so measured will represent the unloaded length of the casing string. The actual length under tension in
the hole can be obtained by consulting graphs that are prepared for this purpose and are available in most
pipe handbooks.
d) Check each coupling for makeup. If the standoff is abnormally great, check the coupling for tightness. Tighten
any loose couplings after thoroughly cleaning the threads and applying fresh compound over entire thread
surfaces, and before pulling the pipe into the derrick.
e) Before stabbing, liberally apply thread compound to the entire internally and externally threaded areas. It is
recommended that a thread compound that meets the performance objectives of API Bulletin 5A3 be used;
however, in special cases where severe conditions are encountered, it is recommended that high-pressure
silicone thread compounds as specified in API Bulletin 5A3 be used.
f) Place a clean thread protector on the field end of the pipe so that the thread will not be damaged while rolling
pipe on the rack and pulling into the derrick. Several thread protectors may be cleaned and used repeatedly for
this operation.
g) If a mixed string is to be run, check to determine that appropriate casing will be accessible on the pipe rack
when required according to the programme.
h) Connectors used as tensile and lifting members should have their thread capacity carefully checked to ensure
that the connector can safely support the load.
i) Care should be taken when making up pup joints and connectors to ensure that the mating threads are of the
same size and type.
4.2 Drifting of casing
4.2.1 It is recommended that each length of casing be drifted for its entire length just before running, with
mandrels conforming to ISO 11960 or API Specification 5CT. Casing that will not pass the drift test should be laid
aside.
4.2.2 Lower or roll each piece of casing carefully to the walk without dropping. Use rope snubber if necessary.
Avoid hitting casing against any part of derrick or other equipment. Provide a hold-back rope at the window. For
mixed or unmarked strings, a drift or “jack” rabbit should be run through each length of casing when it is picked up
from the catwalk and pulled onto the derrick floor to avoid running a heavier length or one with a lesser inside
diameter than called for in the casing string.
4.3 Stabbing, making up and lowering
4.3.1 Do not remove thread protector from field end of casing until ready to stab.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------

ISO 10405:2000(E)
4.3.2 If necessary, apply thread compound over the entire surface of threads just before stabbing. The brush or
utensil used in applying thread compound should be kept free of foreign matter, and the compound should never
be thinned.
4.3.3 In stabbing, lower casing carefully to avoid injuring threads. Stab vertically, preferably with the assistance
of a man on the stabbing board. If the casing stand tilts to one side after stabbing, lift up, clean and correct any
damaged thread with a three-cornered file, then carefully remove any filings and reapply compound over the thread
surface. After stabbing, the casing should be rotated very slowly at first to ensure that threads are engaging
properly and not cross-threading. If spinning line is used, it should pull close to the coupling.
NOTE Recommendations in 4.3.4 and 4.4.1 for casing makeup apply to the use of power tongs. For recommendations on
makeup of casing with spinning lines and conventional tongs, see 4.4.2.
4.3.4 The use of power tongs for making up casing made desirable the establishment of recommended torque
values for each size, mass and grade of casing. Early studies and tests indicated that torque values are affected by
a large number of variables, such as variations in taper, lead, thread height and thread form, surface finish, type of
thread compound, length of thread, mass and grade of pipe, etc. In view of the number of variables and the extent
that these variables, alone or in combination, could affect the relationship of torque values versus made-up
position, it was evident that both applied torque and made-up position have to be considered. Since the joint pullout
strength formula in API Bulletin 5C2 contains several of the variables believed to affect torque, using a modified
formula to establish torque values was investigated. Torque values obtained by taking 1 % of the calculated pullout
value were found to be generally comparable to values obtained by field makeup tests using API modified thread
compound in accordance with API Bulletin 5A3. Compounds other than API modified thread compound may have
other torque values. This procedure was therefore used to establish the makeup torque values listed in Table 1. All
values are rounded to the nearest 10 N�m (10 ft·lbf). These values shall be considered as a guide only, due to the
very wide variations in torque requirements that can exist for a specific connection. Because of this, it is essential
that torque be related to made-up position as outlined in 4.4.1. The torque values listed in Table 1 apply to casing
with zinc-plated or phosphate-coated couplings. When making up connections with tin-plated couplings, 80 % of
the listed value can be used as a guide. The listed torque values are not applicable for making up couplings with
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) rings. When making up round thread connections with PTFE rings, 70 % of the
listed values are recommended. Buttress connections with PTFE seal rings may make up at torque values different
from those normally observed on standard buttress threads.
NOTE Thread galling of gall-prone materials (martensitic chromium steels, 9 Cr and 13 Cr, duplex stainless steels and Ni
base alloys) occurs during movement — stabbing or pulling and makeup or breakout. Galling resistance of threads is primarily
controlled in two areas — in surface preparation and finishing during manufacture and in careful handling practices during
running and pulling.
Threads and lubricant shall be clean. Assembly in the horizontal position should be avoided. Connections should
be turned by hand to the hand-tight position before slowly power-tightening. The procedure should be reversed for
disassembly.
4.4 Field makeup
4.4.1 The following practice is recommended for field makeup of casing:
a) For round thread, 114,3 mm (4 1/2-in) to 339,7 mm (13 3/8-in) outside diameter (OD):
1) It is advisable when starting to run casing from each particular mill shipment to make up sufficient joints to
determine the torque necessary to provide proper makeup. See 4.4.2 for the proper number of turns
beyond hand-tight position. These values may indicate that a departure from the values listed in Table 1 is
advisable. If other values are chosen, the minimum torque should be not less than 75 % of the value
selected. The maximum torque should be not more than 125 % of the selected torque.
2) The power tong should be provided with a reliable torque gauge of known accuracy. In the initial stages of
makeup, any irregularities of makeup or in speed of makeup should be observed, since these may be
indicative of crossed threads, dirty or damaged threads, or other unfavourable conditions. To prevent
galling when making up connections in the field, the connections should be made up at a speed not to
exceed 25 r/min.

ISO 10405:2000(E)
3) Continue the makeup, observing both the torque gauge and the approximately position of the coupling
face with respect to the thread vanish point position.
4) The torque values shown in Tables 1 and 2 have been selected to give recommended makeup under
normal conditions and should be considered as satisfactory providing the face of the coupling is flush with
the thread vanish point or within two thread turns, plus or minus, of the thread vanish point.
5) If the makeup is such that the thread vanish point is buried two thread turns and 75 % of the torque shown
in Table 1 is not reached, the joint should be treated as a questionable joint as provided in 4.4.3.
6) If several threads remain exposed when the listed torque is reached, apply additional torque up to 125 %
of the value shown in Table 1. If the standoff (distance from the face of the coupling to the thread vanish
point) is greater than three thread turns when this additional torque is reached, the joint should be treated
as a questionable joint as provided in 4.4.3.
b) For buttress thread casing connections in sizes 114,3 mm (4 1/2-in) to 508,0 mm (20-in) OD, makeup torque
values should be determined by carefully noting the torque required to make up each of several connections to
the base of the triangle. Then using the torque value thus established, make up the balance of the pipe of that
particular weight and grade in the string.
c) For round thread, 406,4 mm (16-in), 473 mm (18 5/8-in) and 508 mm (20-in) OD:
1) Makeup of 406,4 mm (16-in), 473 mm (18 5/8-in) and 508 mm (20-in) OD shall be to a position on each
connection represented by the thread vanish point or the base of the triangle using the minimum torque
