Prysmian And Draka Cable Alloy 825 Seam Welded Sheathed Tubing

Application: Alloy 825 seam welded sheathed tubing, which is commonly referred to as TEC, is typically used in oil, natural gas and geothermal wells to provide power and communication to down-hole gauges. TEC contains a core consisting of insulated electrical conductor(s) and/or optical fiber(s). The tubing is generally deployed by strapping it to the outside of the production casing. However, it may also be free hanging (self-supporting) inside the production casing. It may be encapsulated and can be included along with pressure tubing and mechanical components, such as bumpers, within a flatpack. The tubing is frequently supplied as 5,000 to 35,000 ft. coils on a wooden or steel reel, depending on size.

Description: Alloy 825 is a titanium-stabilized austenitic nickel – iron – chromium alloy with additions of molybdenum, and copper. The chemical composition of the alloy is listed in Table 1. The alloy is characterized by good resistance to stress-corrosion cracking due to its nickel content (38.0 to 46.0) and satisfactory resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. Alloy 825 has shown good corrosion resistance in oil and gas production environments containing hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and chlorides. Consult ISO 15156-3, Table A.14 for the limits regarding material type 4c in hydrogen sulfide containing environments for oil and gas production. Draka uses expert system software to assist customers in their selection of alloys for oil and gas environments.

Manufacturing Process and Resultant Properties: Strip splice welds, which are used to join lengths of cold rolled strip, enable long continuous lengths of tubing to be manufactured. The strip is formed into a tubular cross section around the core and longitudinally seam welded using the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. The tubing is seam welded at a larger outside diameter to protect the core and then sunk to final size. The final material condition of the tubing is cold worked. Mechanical properties, permissible variation in tubing dimensions and size dependant characteristics / properties are listed in Tables 3, 4, and 5 on reverse respectively

Nondestructive Testing (NDT): In-process eddy current testing (ECT) is performed on the as-welded tubing and final ECT is performed on the as-sunk tubing. Visual examination is performed on all ECT indications. Performance of additional NDT is dependent upon both the type of core and specific customer requirements, and may include: electrical continuity, high voltage/bending; insulation resistance, optical time domain reflectometer, and high pressure nitrogen underwater.

Standards and Specifications: Tubing Specification PTM-TS-003, Alloy 825 Sheathed Insulated Electrical Conductors and Optical Fibers ASTM B704, Standard Specification for Welded UNS N06625, UNS N06219, and UNS N08825 Alloy Tubes Meets the material limits for material type 4c listed in ISO 15156-3, Table A.14, except no heat treatment after welding.
