37、vedForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
38、a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matt
39、ers of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circul
40、ated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsib
41、le for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 15463 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 5, Casing, tubing and drill pipe.

42、erved viiIntroduction This International Standard is provided for field inspection and testing of OCTG; it is not intended to restrict the agency or owner from using personal judgement and supplementing the specified inspections with other techniques, extending existing techniques, or re-inspecting
43、certain lengths of OCTG. Users of this International Standard should be aware that further or differing requirements might be needed for individual applications. This International Standard is not intended to inhibit a vendor from offering, or the purchaser from accepting, alternative equipment or e
44、ngineering solutions for the individual application. This may be particularly applicable where there is innovative or developing technology. Where an alternative is offered, the vendor should identify any variations from this International Standard and provide details. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 154
45、63:2003(E) ISO 2003 All rights reserved 1Petroleum and natural gas industries Field inspection of new casing, tubing and plain-end drill pipe 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements and gives recommendations for field inspection and testing of oil country tubular goods (OCTG). Thi
46、s International Standard covers the practices and technology commonly used in field inspection; however, certain practices may also be suitable for mill inspections. This International Standard covers the qualification of inspection personnel, a description of inspection methods and apparatus calibr
47、ation and standardization procedures for various inspection methods. The evaluation of imperfections and marking of inspected OCTG are included. This International Standard is applicable to field inspection of OCTG and is not applicable for use as a basis for acceptance or rejection (for which the r
48、elevant purchasing specification is applicable, see 5.4.2). 2 Conformance 2.1 Normative references In the interests of worldwide application of this International Standard, ISO/TC 67 has decided, after detailed technical analysis, that certain of the normative documents listed in Clause 3 and prepar
49、ed by ISO/TC 67 or other ISO Technical Committee are interchangeable in the context of the relevant requirement with the relevant document prepared by the American Petroleum Institute (API), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). These latter documents are cited in the running text following the ISO reference and preceded by “or”, for example “ISO XXXX or API YYYY”. Application of an alternative normative document cited in this manner may lead to technical results different from the use of the preceding
