Full title and description

Petroleum and natural gas industries — Rotary drilling equipment — Part 2: Inspection and classification of used drill‑stem elements (ISO 10407-2:2008). The standard defines inspection levels, procedures, acceptance/rejection guidance and marking for drill pipe bodies, tool joints, rotary‑shouldered connections, drill collars, heavyweight drill pipe (HWDP) and related ends.

Abstract

ISO 10407-2:2008 specifies required inspections for each inspection level and gives procedures for inspection and testing of used drill‑stem elements, including personnel qualification, calibration and standardization of inspection apparatus, evaluation of imperfections, and marking of inspected items. The guidance is intended to reflect common industry practice while allowing owners and inspection agencies to apply additional judgement or supplementary techniques.

Scope

Specifies inspection methods, inspection levels (pre‑inspection, full‑length inspection, post‑inspection), required non‑destructive testing (visual, dimensional, ultrasonic, electromagnetic and magnetic‑particle techniques where applicable), criteria for acceptance/rejection, marking and traceability, and the minimum information manufacturers/owners should supply to inspection agencies. The standard applies to used drill‑stem elements in the petroleum and natural gas industries and is intended as guidance for inspection agencies and equipment owners.

Key topics and requirements

• Defined inspection levels and stepwise procedures for pre‑inspection, full‑length inspection and post‑inspection handling.
• Non‑destructive testing methods: ultrasonic testing, electromagnetic inspection, magnetic particle inspection, visual and dimensional checks, and related calibration/standardization requirements.
• Qualification and documentation requirements for inspection personnel and agencies (quality assurance programs and written procedures).
• Evaluation criteria for imperfections, acceptance/rejection guidance and marking/traceability conventions for drill‑stem elements.
• Requirements for providing manufacturers’ / OEM information to support inspection of specialized tools and connections.

These elements form the operational core of the standard and are intended to standardize inspection practice while permitting supplementary techniques as agreed between owners and inspection agencies.

Typical use and users

Used by inspection agencies, drilling contractors, oil and gas operators, tool manufacturers (OEMs), rig maintenance teams, quality managers and regulatory/compliance personnel responsible for the integrity of drill‑stem equipment. Common applications include in‑service inspections, reclassification or return‑to‑service evaluation, purchasing specifications and supplier control.

Related standards

Closely related documents and series used with or alongside ISO 10407‑2 include the earlier ISO 10407 (1993) material, ISO 10407‑1 (where applicable), ISO 10424 series (rotary drill stem elements), API RP 7G and API Spec references for drill‑stem equipment, and various national/adopted versions (EN ISO and GOST adoptions). These complementary standards cover design, testing, connections and other drill‑stem requirements.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10407‑2:2008 is an international standard that specifies inspection and classification requirements for used drill‑stem elements in the petroleum and natural gas industries.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers inspection levels and procedures, NDT methods and calibration, personnel qualification, acceptance/rejection criteria, marking and traceability, and the minimum information OEMs/owners should provide for inspection.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Inspection agencies, drilling contractors, rig maintenance and quality teams, tool manufacturers and oil & gas operators use it for in‑service inspection, reclassification, procurement specifications and ensuring fitness for purpose of drill‑stem elements.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10407‑2:2008 is recorded as withdrawn on the ISO lifecycle listing (stage: withdrawal). Users should verify current national adoptions or successor documents and check whether replacement or updated guidance is available in the relevant national or industry catalogue before relying on it for new procurements or regulatory compliance.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10407 covers rotary drilling equipment topics, and part‑2 is the inspection/classification part. The 2008 part‑2 edition follows earlier ISO 10407 material and is associated with other ISO and industry standards addressing rotary drill‑stem elements and related equipment.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Drill stem, inspection, non‑destructive testing, classification, drill pipe, tool joint, drill collar, heavyweight drill pipe, marking, traceability.
