Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be re-
presented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(I EC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
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.
International Standard IS0 10400 was prepared by the American Petro-
leum Institute (API) (as Bul 5C3, 5th edition) and was adopted, under a
by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Mate-
special “fast-track procedure”,
rials, equipment and offshore structures for petroleum and natural gas in-
dustries, in parallel with its approval by the IS0 member bodies.

Introduction
International Standard IS0 10400:1993 reproduces the content of
API Bul 5C3, 5th edition, 1989. ISO, in endorsing this API document, re-
cognizes that in certain respects the latter does not comply with all current
IS0 rules on the presentation and content of an International Standard.
Therefore, the relevant technical body, within lSO/TC 67, will review
IS0 10400:1993 and reissue it, when practicable, in a form complying with
the IS0 directives.
This standard is not intended to obviate the need for sound engineering
judgement as to when and where this standard should be utilized and
users of this standard should be aware thad additional or differing re-
quirements may be needed to meet the needs for the particular service
intended.
Standards referenced herein may be replaced by other international or
national standards that can be shown to meet or exceed the requirements
of the referenced standards.

Petroleum and natural gas industries - Formulae and
calculation for casing, tubing, drill pipe and line pipe
properties
1 Scope
This International Standard establishes the formulae used in the calculation of the various casing, tubing, drill pipe
and line pipe properties for the oil and natural gas industries.
2 Requirements
Requirements are specified in
“API BULLETIN 5C3 (Bul 5C3), Fifth Edition, July 1989 - Bulletin on Formulas and Calculations for Casing,
Tubing, Drill Pipe, and Line Pipe Properties”,
which is adopted as IS0 10400.
For the purposes of international standardization, however, modifications shall apply to specific clauses and para-
graphs of publication API Bul 5C3. These modifications are outlined below.
Throughout publication API Bul 5C3, the conversion of English units shall be made in accordance wtih IS0 31. The
content of section 11, Metrication shall read as given below.

METRICATION
METRIC CONVERSIONS AND CALCULATIONS
Metric units in API Bul5C3 are shown in italic type and in the text and most tables in parentheses. Outside diam-
eters and wall thicknesses are converted from inch dimensions. The converted values are rounded to the nearest
0,l mm for diameters less than 18 in, and to the nearest I,0 mm for diameters 18 in and larger. Wall thicknesses
are rounded to the nearest 0,l mm.
Metric inside diameters and drift diameters are calculated from the metric outside diameters and wall thicknesses
and rounded to the nearest 0,lmm.
Metric plain-end masses are calculated from the metric outside diameters and wall thicknesses by the following
formula and rounded to the nearest 0,Ol kg/m.
W pe = 0,024 66(D - t)t
Metric hydrostatic test pressures are calculated from the metric outside diameters and wall thicknesses and metric
fiber stresses as shown in clause 8.
The factors used where conversions are appropriate are as follows:
1 inch (in) = 25,4 mm exactly
1 square inch (in2 ) = 645,16 mm2 exactly
1 foot (ft) = 0,03048 m exactly
1 pound (lb) = 0,453 59 kg
1 pound per foot (Ib/ft) = I,4882 kg/m
1 pound per square inch (lbf/in2 ) = 6,895 kPa for pressure
= 0,006 895 MPa for stress
1 footpound-force (ft-bf) = I,3558 J for impact energy
= 1,355 8 N-m for torque
The following formula was used to convert degrees Farenheit (OF) to degrees Celsius (“C): “C = 5/9 (“F - 32).

COLLAPSE PRESSURE
1.1 COLLAPSE PRESSURE FORMULAS
The minimum collapse pressures given in API Bul 5C2 are calculated by means of formulas 1.1.1.1, 1.1.2.1,
1.1.3.1 and 1.1.4.1, adopted at the 1968 Standardization Conference and reported in Circular PS-1360 dated
September 1968.
Formulas 1.1.1.2, 1.1.2.2 and 1.1.3.2 for the intersections between the four collapse pressure formulas have
been determined algebraically and used for calculating the applicable D/t range for each collapse pressure
formula. Factors A, B, C, F and G have been calculated using formulas l-2.2.12, l-2.2.13, 1.2.2.14, 1.2.3.2 and
1.2.3.3. Grades with alphabetic prefixes are API grades. Those without alphabetic prefixes are non API grades.
When determining the appropriate formula to be used for calculating collapse resistance for a particular D/t
ratio and minimum yield strength, the D/t ranges determined by formulas 1.1.1.2, 1.1.2.2 and 1.1.3.2 govern,
rather than the collapse formula that gives the lowest collapse pressure. The D/t ranges for API and some non
API grades are given in Tables 1.1.1.1, 1.1.2.1, l-1.3.1 and 1.1.4.1.
The collapse pressures for Bul 5C2 are calculated using the specified values for D and t rounding D/t to two
decimals carrying eight digits in all intermediate calculations and rounding the collapse pressure to the nearest
10 psi.
1.1.1 YIELD STRENGTH COLLAPSE PRESSURE FORMULA
The yield strength collapse pressure is not a true collapse pressure, but rather the external pressure, P
yP’
that generates minimum yield stress, Y p , on the inside wall of a tube as calculated by formula 1.1.1.1
pyp = ,,,[ ‘;;;t,’ l. 1.1.1.1
The formula for yield strength collapse pressure formula 1.1.1.1 is applicable for D/t values up to the value of
D/t corresponding to the intersection with the plastic collapse formula 1.1.2.1. This intersection is calculated
by formula 1.1.1.2 as follows:
(A - 2)2 + 8 (B + C/Y,jl + (A - 2)
. . . . . . 1.1.1.2
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .-.a.

1.1.5 COLLAPSE PRESSURE UNDER AXIAL TENSION STRESS
The collapse resistance of casing in the presence of an axial stress is calculated by modifying the yield stress to an
axial stress equivalent grade according to Formula 1.1.5.1
Y
pa = [ d 1 -O-75( S,/Yp)2-O-5Sa/Yp] Yp . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.1.5.1
Where:
= 4xial Stress, psi (tension is positive)
Sa
= Minimum yield strength of the pipe, psi
YP
Y pa = Yield strength of axial stress equivalent grade, psi
Collapse resistance formula factors and D/t ranges for the axial stress equivalent grade are then calculated by means
of Formulas 1.2.2.12, 1.2.2.13, 1.2.2.14,1.1.1.2, 1.1.2.2, 1.1.3.2, 1.2.3.2 and 1.2.3.3. Using formula factors for the axial
stress equivalent grade, collapse resistance under axial stress is calculated by means of Formulas 1 .l .l .l, 1 .1.2-l,
1.1.3.1 and 1.1.4.1.
The reduced collapse pressures are calculated using D/t rounded to two decimals and carrying eight digits in att
intermediate calculations and rounding the reduced collapse pressure to the nearest 10 psi.

API collapse resistance formulas are not valid for the yield strength of axial stress equivalent grade (Y,,) less
than 24,000 psi.

Formula 1 .1.5.1 is based on the Hencky-von Mises maximum strain energy of distortion theory of yielding.
Example:
Calculate collapse pressure of 7” 26# PllO with axial stress of 11,000 psi. Wall thickness is 0.362”.
= 11,000 psi
Sa
= 110,000 psi
yP
Substituting in Formula 1 .1.5.1:
Y = 104,087 psi
pa
Substituting Ypa for Y in formulas 1.2.2.12, 1.2.2.13, 1.2.2.14, 1.1.1.2, 1.1.2.2, 1.1.3.2, 1.2.3.2 and 1.2.3.3:
A = 3.158, B = 0.0789, C = 2675, F= 2.051, G = 0.0512
= 20.75,
= 12.59, (D& = 27.02
(D/f)pt
( wyp
D/t Range for Yield Collapse = 12.59 and less
D/t Range for Plastic Collapse = 12.59 to 20.75
D/t Range for Transition Collapse = 20.75 to 27.02
D/t Range for Elastic Collapse = 27.02 and greater
D/t = 7/0X2 = 19.34 which indicates that collapse is in the plastic range. Substituting A = 3.158, B =0.0789 and C = 2675
into Formula 1 .1.2.1 for plastic collapse:
P = Ypa (A/ (D/t)-B) - C = 104,087 (3.158/l 9.34-0.0789) - 2675
P = 6110psi
1.1.6 EFFECT OF INTERNAL PRESSURE ON COLLAPSE
The external pressure equivalent of external pressure and internal pressure is determined by means of formula
1.1.6.1. The formula is based on the internal pressure
