The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. 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. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO 13678 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures for petroleum and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 5, Casing, tubing and drill pipe. Annexes B to H and K form normative parts of this International Standard. Annexes A, I, J, L and M are for information only.

This International Standard specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the manufacture, testing and selection of thread compounds for use on casing, tubing and line pipe based on the current industry consensus of good engineering practice. It is intended that the words casing and tubing apply to the service application rather than to the diameter of the pipe. The performance requirements of thread compounds for use with casing, tubing and line pipe include: ?consistent frictional properties that will allow both proper and uniform connection engagement; ?adequate lubrication properties to resist galling or damage of connection contact surfaces during make-up and break-out; ?adequate sealing properties for thread type seal connections and/or not inhibiting the sealing properties of non-thread sealing connections (e.g. metal-to-metal seals, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seals, etc.) depending upon service requirements; ?physical and chemical stability both in service and in expected compound storage conditions; ?properties that will allow effective application to the connection contact surfaces in expected service conditions and environment. When evaluating the suitability of a thread compound, the user should define the service conditions, and then consider field trials and field service experience in addition to laboratory test results. Supplementary tests may be appropriate for specific applications which are not evaluated by the tests herein. The user and manufacturer are encouraged to discuss service applications and limitations of the compound being considered. Representatives of users and/or other third party personnel are encouraged to monitor tests wherever possible. Interpolation and extrapolation of test results to other products, even of similar chemical composition, is not recommended. It should be recognized by the user that testing in compliance with this International Standard does not in and of itself ensure adequate thread compound/connection system performance in field service. The user has the responsibility of evaluating the results obtained from the recommended procedures and test protocols and determining if the thread compound/connection system in question meets the anticipated requirements of that particular field service application. Whether a thread compound meets local or global environmental legislation is outside the scope of this International Standard. However, it is the responsibility of the end user to be aware of the environmental requirements of the operating area and to select, use and dispose of the thread compound and related waste materials accordingly.

The tests outlined within this International Standard are used to evaluate the critical performance properties, and physical and chemical characteristics of thread compounds under laboratory conditions. These test methods are primarily intended for thread compounds formulated with a lubricating base grease. It is recognized that there may be materials used for the lubrication and/or sealing of threaded connections for which these test methods are not applicable. This International Standard is not intended for the evaluation of compounds used with rotary shouldered connections. Such evaluation is described in API RP 7A1. This International Standard does not address the environmental issues associated with the use and disposal of thread compounds. 2Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.

Thus, the purchaser and the manufacturer should agree on the product characteristics to be provided, such as: Thickener typeRheological properties Fluid typeCompound/copper reaction AppearanceExtreme pressure properties Dropping pointFluid sealing properties Mass densityFrictional properties Oil separationCorrosion inhibition Flash pointBrushing/Adherence Water-absorption resistanceService applications Gas evolutionStorage and service life limitations The thread compound manufacturer should publish timely product bulletins when any modification in formulation is implemented which would result in a change of any performance characteristic. All documentation shall provide data that are representative of a typical production batch. Test and inspection records generated under this International Standard shall be retained by the manufacturer and shall be available to the purchaser for a minimum period of three years after the date of manufacture. 4.2Physical and chemical characteristics 4.2.1General The physical and chemical characteristics of performance-based thread compounds are specified in Table 1. These properties can vary widely, and the formulation of many of the available compounds is proprietary.
