Either mill new pipe that has been shaped to specification, or used OCTG which is still structurally sound and can be cut and welded to the desired shape.

is a type of steel construction pipe that meets certain standards of chemical composition and mechanical properties.

Testing done to determine if the pipe has any external defects such as bad welds or burns.
