Import Tips & Compliance

Include corrosion test certificates (e.g

NACE MR0175) for sour service casings to support alloy classification

Specify 'surface casing' end-use in entry summaries to differentiate from production tubing

Measure and certify exact OD to avoid disputes over 406.4 mm threshold
