Casing Design

These two documents should be made available to anyone work-
ing on designs for casings and tubulars:

API Bulletin 5C2 (Properties of Casing, Tubing, and Drillpipe)
NACE Standard MR-01-75

Ensure that the current issue of each is used. The following sec-
tions do not attempt to reproduce wholesale the contents of these
documents; rather references will be made and illustrations given
as appropriate.
Also, the following Bulletin may be referred to for the formulae
used by API for calculating the properties outlined in Bulletin 5C2.
However, in most cases the formulae are not needed because the tables
in 5C2 are comprehensive.

Drillpipe, and Linepipe Properties)
