METALLIC MATERIAL LIMITS FOR WELLHEAD EQUIPMENT USED IN HIGH

TEMPERATURE FOR API 6A AND 17D APPLICATIONS

ABSTRACT
This API-funded project was conducted by a Task Group charged by the Association of Well
Head Equipment Manufacturers (AWHEM). The Task Group examined mechanical properties of
metallic materials used for API 6A and 17D wellhead equipment for service above 250F. A total
of eleven different alloys meeting API 6A, PSL 3 conditions were supplied in condition by a
variety of suppliers. Materials in this test program included alloys common to the oil and gas
industry. The alloys tested included low alloy steels, martensitic, precipitation hardened and
duplex stainless steels, and nickel alloys. Yield strength reduction ratios at temperatures of 300,
350 , 400, and 450 F are reported. As a result of testing, yield strength reduction ratios at 300F
to 450F ranged from 92% to 87% for the low alloy steels, 92% to 88% for the martensitic
stainless steels 81% to 73% for super duplex, 99% to 89% for the precipitation hardened
stainless steel and 94% to 89% for the nickel alloys. The reported results represent an average
over the different heats for each type of material. These results are intended to expand the data
shown in API 6A, Appendix G.

1. INTRODUCTION
Testing was performed in three phases, presented herein in chronological order as Phase I, II
and III. Initially, all testing was to be completed in two phases, but testing anomalies in Phase II
prompted re-testing of some alloys in Phase III.
Alloy candidates were recommended by AWHEM membership for analysis and confirmed by
APIs approval of New Work Item No. 2003-100786 in June 2002. Several material suppliers
and several AWHEM member companies donated material for testing. Metallurgists on the Task
Group screened material certificates to insure a normal chemistry without enhancements for the
following material candidates:

2. PROCEDURE
In Phase I and II testing, three material test laboratories were selected to conduct elevated
temperature tests in accordance with ASTM E21 using 0.505 diameter test specimens. One of
the three laboratories with the best performance was selected to conduct all testing in Phase III.
Phase I tensile specimens were removed from the mid-radius position. In Phase II and III tensile
specimens were removed from the 1/4T position where possible. Mechanical tests were then
performed at Room Temperature (RT), 300, 350 and 450F to permit bracketing of results. The
Task Group analyzed the resulting Yield Strength (YS) data from all the labs for each heat of
material. Finally each suppliers data will be reported confidentially to that supplier only in
exchange for the donation of material.

3. RESULTS
3.1

Phase I Results

Each material type was analyzed by comparing Yield Strength readings at RT, 300, 350 and
450F for each heat and laboratory individually using a pivot table. In this manner, differences
due to material behavior and/or laboratory abnormalities could be easily detected. Since the data
set was too small to afford any statistical analysis, the results were averaged.
Room temperature yield strength test results from three of the five heats of AISI 4130 were below
75Ksi. One heat was only 2% below the required RT properties. However two of those three
heats were 12% and 17% below the minimum requirement. Material certification reports were
reviewed by metallurgists on the Task Group and reasons for the low properties were not
obvious. Averaging data from all the heats produced higher yield derating factors than seemed
appropriate (92% at 350 F compared with current API Spec 6A, Appendix G values for Carbon
and Low Alloy steels of 85%). Consequently, results from two lowest property heats were
ignored in the average, resulting in a yield derating of 90% at 350 F. This discrepancy from
reported RT yield properties was not found on any of the other five alloys tested. The conclusion
from this discovery is that low hardenability alloys used for heavy section equipment must have
proper design qualification. Thus averaging only three heats of 4130 produced an improved
correlation to the other low alloy steels yield reduction ratio than averaging all five heats see
Appendix A.
One data point for 2-1/4 Cr 1 Mo at 450F appeared bad so it was excluded from the average. In
all other cases, all data points for all 5 heats of the material were used. The variation of results
for heats within a material showed approximately 15% over each temperature ranges, except for
410 which ran approximately 20%. The variation between labs was approximately 10% for most
materials with one lab measuring on the low side in a majority of cases. A sample plot of average
YS reduction ratio (derating factor) for 8630 is shown below. Thus the derating factor at 400F
was interpolated as 88.5%.

Phase II Results

As a result of limited material availability, material size for testing was variable and in one case
the Task Group had to purchase a limited amount of one heat. One supplier furnished their own
test data for several heats in two material types. Test temperatures were slightly different and
results did not correlate exactly with actual test data from our material testing. The greatest data
correlation problem was with 725/625 Plus. Each material type was analyzed by comparing yield
strength readings at RT, 300, 350 and 450F for each heat and laboratory individually using a
pivot table. In this manner, differences due to material behavior and/or laboratory abnormalities
could be detected. Since the data set was too small to afford much statistical analysis, the results
were averaged. In a few cases inconsistent data (11 points) were rejected to prevent distortion of
results. In each of those cases, the rationale used was to drive the results in a conservative
direction. Inconsistent data points were examined with the labs. At one lab some strange data
points were caused by the extensometer extensions slipping or by movement of the test
specimen. Examination of stress/strain curves verified the problem. These data were rejected
and re-tested as Phase III.

3.3

Phase III Results

Seven heats of 725/625Plus and eight heats of 925 were tested. To maintain consistency in the
data analysis methodology of Phases I and II testing, the yield strength reduction factors were
averaged. A linear relationship between temperature and reduction factor was assumed, given
the narrow temperature range in the study. Typically, for high strength nickel alloys the
temperature range that is of interest spans a much larger range. Each material type was analyzed
by comparing yield strength readings at RT, 300, 350 and 450F for each heat. Since the data
set was too small to afford much statistical analysis, the results were averaged. The raw data
along with the stress/strain curves were examined to cull any data that would appear unusual.
No anomalies in the data were observed which allowed the use of the entire data set to define the
reduction factors.

4. CONCLUSIONS
Material selection for HPHT equipment and validation for actual properties are important. For
example AISI 4130 properties must be validated in the section of interest. This material lacks the
hardenability of other materials tested. Bar stock appeared to produce lower properties than did
forged material, but hardenability was the real issue. Three heats out of five of 4130 fell below
the minimum YS even though the material certification report showed the YS above the minimum.
The eleven materials produced a fairly tight range of YS reduction ratios. Yield strength derating
factors from testing the eleven alloys are as follows:

5. RECOMMENDATIONS
The factors presented herein should be used as the basis for estimating the nominal reduction of
yield strength with temperature for the alloys presented. As a cautionary note the data presented

Page 5 of 27

herein does not include a statistical analysis such as a prediction interval to establish a
confidence level for defining a lower bound. A full statistical analysis for a more robust prediction
tool would require additional data points for one or more of the alloys tested to benchmark the
total number of data points required for a valid statistical analysis.
