Minimum Tensile Strength: 100,000 psi
Hardness Requirement: 24.0 HRC maximum average (26 HRC individual)
Notes: Proprietary restricted yield strength U. S. Steel grade for use in sour condensate wells. Resistance to sulfide stress cracking is achieved by precise controls of chemical composition, heat treatment and hardness levels. Inspection requirements and dimensional tolerances are in accordance with API 5CT for grade C90. Performance properties are the same as for API grade C90.

Hardness testing is conducted as required for API C90, with the exception of frequency (Casing and Non-Upset Tubing - First, last and every tenth joint in between; Upset Tubing - First, last and every 25th joint in between). To reduce order lead time, sulphide stress corrosion cracking (SSCC) testing is not required for every order. If required by the customer, SSCC testing can be performed to U. S. Steel Standard Mill Practice P-1004 (NACE Standard TM-0177-Method A) with a guaranteed minimum threshold stress of 85 percent specified minimum yield strength.
