On November 3, it was learned from the Petroleum Pipe Engineering Technology Research Institute that the proposal for the international standard for the oil-and-gas industry ceramic lining oil pipe proposed by the experts of the institute was voted by the three-month ISO/TC67/SC5 subcommittee. On October 25, 2019, the project was successfully established and officially entered the ISO international standard setting procedure.

This is the first time that China has led the formulation of international standards in the field of oil well pipes, and it is also another major breakthrough made by the Institute of pipe research after the approval of two international standard proposals, i.e. corrosion resistant alloy clad bends and pipe fittings for pipeline transportation system and corrosion resistant alloy clad composite pipe fittings for pipeline transportation system, in June this year.

It is understood that ceramic lined composite tubing is a high-tech product which uses "self propagating high-temperature synthesis method" to lining advanced ceramics on the inner wall of tubing. It has the characteristics of wear-resistant, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant and anti scaling. Among them, the anti-corrosion performance is more than 30 times that of ordinary tubing, especially suitable for the oil and water wells with severe corrosion and scaling.

According to the requirements of the ISO Central Secretariat and the ISO/IEC guidelines, China, Canada, the Netherlands, France and South Korea will assign relevant experts to form a working group, which will complete the development of the standard in about 3 years.
