Tubing

What is the Tubing

What is tubing? In oil and gas, tubes are also used to transport fluids, but they’re also commonly used as conveyor belt rollers, bearing casings, and casings for concrete pilings. In drilling well construction, however, “tubing” refers to casing and tubing strings.

With tubes, diameter tolerance, wall thickness tolerance, straightness tolerance and roundness tolerance are critical measurements. Tubes are subject to strict specifications and must be regularly tested to determine hardness and tensile strength. Precise outside diameters, which indicate how much weight the tube can withstand, are important measurements.
Steel tubes for pressure equipment come in short outside diameters (up to 5 inches); tubulars for mechanical applications come in higher diameter lengths.

Applications of Tubing

Tubing functions as a pipe that lifts the fluid (oil / gas / hot steam) to the surface with the help of a pump or with natural energy due to the difference in pressure in the well with the surface pressure.
