Material Data Sheet

Nickel Alloy - SM2535-110

Coupling: Cu Plated, Green, Pipe body: Green, Orange,


Orange, White White

General description

SM2535 is an Austenitic Fe (Iron) base material required for critical well conditions
combining high concentrations of CO2, H2S and Chlorides. Launched in the mid-80’s as
an innovative development, SM2535 has become the reference product for Tubing &
Liner applications in severe environments. It benefits from Nippon Steel’s unrivaled
know-how in manufacturing CRA (Corrosion Resistance Alloys) materials and best-in-
class quality control.

SM2535-110 is manufactured based on API 5CT / ISO 11960 and API 5CRA / ISO 13680.

Diameters: 2 3/8” to 7 5/8” (larger sizes can be available upon request)

Weights: as per API 5CT/ISO 13680. Please note that while the API 5CT/ISO 11960
linear weight will define the pipe wall thickness the actual linear weight of the material
will be slighter greater due to the heavier density of the elements it contains versus
carbon steel.

Special application: Please contact Nippon Steel engineer, should you require specific
size, weight, drift, or any other characterization.

Technical information

In wet combined CO2 & H2S environments, usage of SM2535 is recommendable starting
from H2S partial pressure exceeding 0.1 bar:

for lower H2S partial pressure ranging between 0.1 to 1.0 bar, these materials
should be considered depending upon the combination of critical variables such as
pH, Chloride content, S0 and temperature.
for H2S partial pressures exceeding 1.0 bar the only metallurgical solution to
counter corrosion is to consider Austenitic Fe base or Nickel base materials.

Since H2S is a potent pitting agent, a passivation film composed of Ni-S, Cr-O & Mo-S is
required to maintain stability and protect the bulk material from corrosion attack up to
a defined temperature threshold in wet combined CO2 & H2S environment. This is
achieved through alloying of Cr-Ni & Mo.

SM2535 is a nominal 3% Molybdenum material recognized by ISO-13680 as Group 3
Category 25-32-3. This material is referenced as 4c material in NACE MR0175 /ISO
15156-3 (please refer to Fig. 1)

Fig 1: NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 2003 Table A12

For this type of material, NACE MR0175 /ISO 15156-3 indicate the following application
limits as general guidelines :

Table A-14)

According to NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 2003, final material selection for the intended
service will be equipment user’s responsibility and detailed information exchange with
manufacturer is highly recommendable.

Nippon Steel, in absence of elemental sulfur, recommends usage of SM2535 materials


for temperature up to 149°C (300°F) higher than 132°C (270°F) limit specified by ISO
15156-3.

This difference is based on Nippon Steel’s unrivaled know-how in manufacturing


austenitic stainless steel since the mid 80’s and best-in-class quality control.

For fit for purpose conditions (** in Fig 2), Nippon Steel proposes verification test under
the actual field condition.

Storage and handling procedures

© 2025 NIPPON STEEL CORPORATION. All rights reserved.


While state-of-the-art HSE rules are applied throughout Nippon Steel manufacturing
process, proprietary and specific HSE regulations shall be applied along the life cycle of
the pipe until it reaches its final position in the well, according to each operator’s rules.
This particularly applies to all phases of handling and transportation, assembly on the rig
floor, and rig return if applicable. OCTG are heavy and by nature unstable. Special care
shall be paid to potential risks of injury whenever handling OCTGs. Walking on pipes shall
be avoided at all times. Usage of Personal Protection Equipments (PPE) is mandatory.
Equipment and procedures will be established to capture the possible wastes generated
during maintenance (cleaning, coating, doping) and disposed according to local
regulations. This applies in particular to storage dope, running dope, or cleaning water
wastes.

Best practices for transportation, handling and storage of OCTG in general are
covered by ISO 10405 / API RP5C1. VAM Book is also a good source of handling
practices for VAM connections. In addition to these general rules, specific care is
recommended pertaining to SM-2535, because improper handling could affect the
material performances and by extension the corrosion resistance :

Prevention of Spot Hardening


Prevention of Iron contamination
Adapted running equipments and practices
Prevention of corrosion on rig returns, particularly in presence of completion fluids

For more specific information please refer to Nippon Steel Storage and handling
procedure for CRA materials or contact Nippon Steel engineers.
