Section 74:02:04:48 - Steel casing specifications

Steel well casing must be at least schedule 40 in accordance with ASTM Standard A 53-90b, "Standard Specification for Pipe, Steel, Black and Hot-dipped, Zinc-coated, Welded, and Seamless," December 28, 1990, including threads and couplings and plain-end pipe. Examples are in Tables 1 and 2, as follows:

6	19.18
8	29.35
10	41.85
12	51.15

* Weight includes threads and couplings

The well casing must be certified by the manufacturer to meet ASTM Standard A 53-90b and may not be mill reject. Casing corrected to meet standards is acceptable.

If steel well casing five inches in diameter or larger will be pressure-grouted with cement grout from the top of the producing formation up to the bottom of the pitless adapter or unit or to the ground surface, casing with a minimum wall thickness of 0.250 inches must be used.
