Full title and description

ISO 13680:2024 — Oil and gas industries including lower carbon energy — Corrosion-resistant alloy seamless products for use as casing, tubing, coupling stock and accessory material — Technical delivery conditions. This standard specifies technical delivery conditions for corrosion‑resistant alloy seamless tubular products (including coupling stock and accessory material from bar) intended for casing, tubing, coupling stock and related accessory material used in oil, gas and lower‑carbon energy industries.

Abstract

ISO 13680:2024 defines two product specification levels (PSL‑1 and PSL‑2) and technical delivery requirements for corrosion‑resistant alloy seamless products used as casing, tubing, coupling stock and accessory material. It covers product grouping by alloy type (martensitic/martensitic‑ferritic stainless, duplex/super‑duplex, austenitic stainless, nickel‑based alloys and selected age‑hardened nickel bar products), requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat treatment, testing, marking (including marking after threading), and documentation. The standard explicitly references compatibility with the ISO 15156 series (and NACE MR0175) for cracking resistance qualifications and does not include provisions for connection design of individual pipe lengths.

Scope

Applies to corrosion‑resistant alloy seamless tubular products and associated coupling stock and accessory material produced as seamless pipe or from bar, intended for use as casing, tubing, coupling stock and related accessories in oil, gas and lower‑carbon energy industries. The document sets delivery requirements for two PSL levels (PSL‑1 baseline and PSL‑2 for additional corrosion and cracking resistance per ISO 15156 / NACE MR0175). It excludes provisions for connection design and any assessment of material affected by end sizing, connection manufacture or welding beyond the material delivery conditions.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of two product specification levels: PSL‑1 (baseline) and PSL‑2 (enhanced corrosion and cracking resistance).
• Classification of product groups (Group 1–5) by alloy microstructure and base metal (martensitic, duplex, austenitic stainless, nickel‑based, age‑hardened nickel bar).
• Requirements for chemical composition, permitted deviations and material identification.
• Mechanical properties, heat treatment and hardness limits suited to service conditions.
• Manufacturing and testing requirements including sampling, mechanical testing, corrosion testing where applicable, and nondestructive examination provisions.
• Marking, packaging and documentation requirements (including marking after threading where applicable).
• Reference and alignment with ISO 15156 series (and NACE MR0175) for sour‑service cracking resistance qualification.
• Acceptance criteria, certificates and traceability obligations for delivered products.

Typical use and users

Used by tubular manufacturers, material suppliers, quality and inspection engineers, procurement specialists, drilling and production operators, design engineers and certification bodies in oil, gas and lower‑carbon energy projects. Typical applications include well casing and tubing, coupling blanks, accessory parts manufactured from bar, and any service where corrosion resistance and/or resistance to environmental cracking is required.

Related standards

Closely related to the ISO 15156 series (materials for use in H2S‑containing environments) and commonly cross‑referenced with NACE MR0175 for sour‑service requirements. Also linked to material classification standards such as ISO 4948 and to other ISO/TC 67 technical delivery condition standards and industry specifications governing tubular products and testing practices.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 13680:2024 is an international standard that specifies technical delivery conditions for corrosion‑resistant alloy seamless products used as casing, tubing, coupling stock and accessory material in the oil, gas and lower‑carbon energy sectors.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers product specification levels (PSL‑1 and PSL‑2), product grouping by alloy type, chemical and mechanical requirements, heat treatment, testing and acceptance, marking and documentation requirements for seamless tubular products and accessory parts from bar. It does not cover connection design for joining lengths of pipe.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, material suppliers, inspection and quality engineers, procurement teams, design engineers, operators in oil and gas and related energy sectors, and conformity assessment bodies use the standard to specify and verify corrosion‑resistant tubular products.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Current — ISO 13680:2024 was published on 17 May 2024 and replaces the previous edition (ISO 13680:2020).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the body of standards for oil and gas materials and tubular products developed under ISO/TC 67 and is explicitly aligned with the ISO 15156 series (and equivalent NACE MR0175) for sour‑service cracking resistance; it also references material classification standards such as ISO 4948.
