C) Position of load ring – 1 foot below connector.
D) Weld on the pipe body to be ground flush with pipe body for 2m
below square shouldered connector or load ring for latching of the
elevator.

(iii) Two lifting eyes of required capacities to be provided at each end

for handling of pipe.

5. Load Ring & Pad-eyes drawing should be submitted along with the bids.
Bidder should also confirm that these pipes can be run through
49 ½ ” rotary.

6. Bidder should submit inspection certificate of casing pipes carried out by

third party inspection agency along with Mills inspection certificate at
the time of shipment / dispatch.

7. Delivery tolerance allowed is plus (+) Nil, Minus (-) 15 Mtrs or 1%,
whichever is less for each item.

8. Delivery for 36” Casing pipe may be done in two lots of 1,500 mtrs and
