SCOPE
This general NS-1™ specification specifies the minimum quality and inspection requirements applied to wrought
Low Alloy Steel Cementing Tools.
It applies to:

• Non-Sour service conditions.

• Downhole use.
• All sizes and types

This equipment shall be in conformance with the requirements of API Spec. 7-1, API Spec.7-2, RP7G and the
requirements of this NS-1™ specification. If in conflict the requirements of this NS-1™ specification shall pre-
vail. The matrix of this NS-1™ specification provides a quality template that can be applied to any make and
type of Cementing Tools. When ordering spare parts or sub-assemblies, they should be ordered to this specification.

NOTES TO PURCHASER:

1. For more details regarding the application of this NS-1™ specification, reference can be made to the
"Introduction Section" to NS-1™ on the original document.

2. It is assumed that as part of compliance with ISO 9001 the manufacturer has conducted Design Performance
Verification Testing and has documented test results to demonstrate conformance of the product to design
requirements.

3. Fearnley Procter Group has a product approval scheme running under NS-1™ and any Supplier or
Manufacturer wishing to seek approval may do so by contacting NS1info@fearnleyproctergroup.com

SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements are supplementary to and shall be applied in conjunction with the quality sub-
specifications called out in the matrix of this NS-1™ Specification.

1. Applicable Standard Specifications

1.1 API Spec. 7-1
1.2 API Spec. 7-2
1.3 API RP 7G
1.4 ASTM A370

2. Welding
No fabrication or repair welding shall be performed.

3. Threaded Connections
3.1 Threaded connections shall be inspected and gauged in accordance with Sub-spec 90.2.1.

3.2 Cementing Assemblies with rotary threaded connections as per API Spec.7-2, do not require stress
relief features.

3.3 All new rotary connections shall be provided with a benchmark in accordance with the requirements
of API RP7G as a minimum. The preferred form of benchmark is an indicator which provides a 360°
reference around the connection. This type of benchmark is superior to the API one, in that it reveals
not only the extent of refacing but also how perpendicular the refaced seal is to the pipe’s axis.

3.4 In designing service connections in the body of the tool, it is recognised that the manufacturer may
use proprietary styles of connection. In their design and testing, consideration must be given to
fatigue and minimising the risk of premature failure of such connections.

3.5 Connections shall be given a suitable corrosion resistant anti-galling surface finish.
Electro-copperplating and phosphating in accordance with recognised standards are considered
suitable. No other type of anti-galling treatment shall be used without prior written agreement from
the purchaser.

3.6 All threaded end connections shall be thoroughly coated with a protective layer of an agreed thread
compound or preservation compound prior to shipment.

3.7 The threaded end connections shall be protected with heavy-duty reinforced plastic or pressed steel
thread protectors.

4. Material Testing
(Ref. Sub-spec. 10.1 & Sub-spec. 10.4))

4.1 Chemical Analysis

Chemical analysis shall be carried out on a heat treatment lot basis demonstrating conformance to
the manufacturer’s applicable material specification for all elements tabulated.

4.2 Tensile Testing

Tensile testing to ASTM A370 shall as a minimum, establish yield strength, tensile strength,
elongation and reduction in area on a heat treatment lot basis. Test specimens shall be taken from a
location representative of the pin connection as shown in Appendix 2.

4.3 Impact testing (Ref. Sub-spec. 150.1)

The Charpy ’V’ notch energy level shall be 42 joules (31 ft.lbs.) minimum average of three test
specimens tested at 20°C. No individual value shall be less than 32 joules (24 ft.lbs.). Three
longitudinal impact test specimens per heat treatment lot of material shall be taken from at least one
(1) inch below the O.D. surface of the material.

4.4 Hardness testing (Ref. Sub-spec. 70.1)

Through thickness hardness verification shall be carried out on the wrought drill stem body material,
applying the sampling basis indicated below. Measurements shall be taken at room temperature on a
radial cross section as indicated in Appendix 1. Pre-heat treated bar stock or mechanical tubing shall
have a test specimen taken at a location of maximum wall thickness at least one radius from the end
of each bar/tube. When drill stem bodies are rough machined (O.D. and I.D.) prior to final heat
treatment, hardness tests shall be carried out on a heat/heat treatment lot basis using a test sample
of similar O.D. and I.D. dimensions (taken at a location of max. wall thickness of a rough machined
body). The length of the test sample shall be at least equal to the sample O.D. the cross section
specimen shall be taken at mid length. All hardness test results taken on a single cross section shall
be within a range of six HRC points. The absolute values shall meet the manufacturer’s material
specification.

5. Marking
(Ref. Sub-spec. 20.3)

5.1 Each assembly shall be provided with a marking recess located at a point that will see little or no
stress or wear on the O.D. of the main body member.

5.2 The recess shall be stamped in accordance with the requirements of Sub-spec 20.3.

5.3 Size of the recess shall be in accordance with API Spec. 7-1.

6. Inspection
(Ref. Sub-Spec 40.1 & 50.1)

6.1 Ultrasonic Examination (UT) shall as a minimum, be carried out as per API Spec 7-1 for Ultrasonic
Evaluation.

6.2 The bore at each end shall be concentric with the centreline, eccentricity shall not exceed 1.6 mm
(1/16"). The bore shall also be drift tested.

6.3 The variation in wall thickness across any step in the bore shall not exceed 1.6 mm (1/16"). Steps
within the above acceptance criteria shall be dressed to a smooth finish.

6.4 A 100% wet magnetic particle inspection (MT) and visual examination (VE) shall be carried out post
machining process.
