API 5CT is a standard set by the American petroleum Institute (API) that specifies the technical requirements for casing and tubing used in oil and gas wells. It ensures that these materials meet stringent quality and performance standards to withstand the harsh conditions encountered in drilling and production operations. The API 5CT standard covers various grades of casing, including K55, N80, L80, and P110, each with its own unique properties and applications.

K55 is a relatively low-cost grade of casing that is commonly used in shallow to medium-depth wells. It has a minimum yield strength of 55,000 psi and is suitable for environments with mild to moderate corrosive conditions. k55 casing is known for its excellent resistance to corrosion and cracking, making it a popular choice for wells that do not require high-strength casing. N80 is a higher-strength grade of casing with a minimum yield strength of 80,000 psi. It is commonly used in medium to deep wells that require casing with superior mechanical properties. n80 casing offers excellent resistance to corrosion and is suitable for environments with moderate to severe corrosive conditions. It is also known for its high tensile strength, making it ideal for wells that experience high pressure and stress. L80 is a higher-strength grade of casing with a minimum yield strength of 80,000 psi. It is similar to N80 in terms of its mechanical properties but has additional requirements for hardness and impact resistance. l80 casing is commonly used in wells that require casing with enhanced toughness and resistance to wear and tear. It is also suitable for environments with moderate to severe corrosive conditions. Elevator P110 is the highest-strength grade of casing covered by the API 5CT standard, with a minimum yield strength of 110,000 psi. It is commonly used in deep and ultra-deep wells that require casing with exceptional mechanical properties. P110 casing offers excellent resistance to corrosion, high tens
