API T95 Casing

Data verified

T95 is the stronger sibling of C90 in the API 5CT sour-service family: 95 ksi yield with the same 25.4 HRC hardness ceiling and sulfide-stress-cracking test regime. It serves deep sour wells where C90’s strength runs out but P110-class hardness would be an SSC hazard.

Equivalents overlap in chemistry and use but are not always identical — see our equivalents guide before substituting in certified designs.

Applications & Processing

Applications: Deep sour gas wells, high-pressure H₂S production casing, completions where both strength and NACE compliance are mandatory.

Processing: Order strictly to API 5CT with the sour-service supplementary requirements; substitution with quenched commercial 95 ksi pipe is not permitted in sour wells.
