Does Centek adhere to API 10D testing protocols for its product testing?

Centek has always tested centralizers covered by API Specification 10D in accordance with the latest applicable protocols.

Since the release of the Seventh Edition of API Specification 10D in 2021, all standard centralizer evaluations conducted by Centek have followed the updated requirements.

Centek also applies API Recommended Practice 10D-2 to stop collar testing. This provides a standardized method for evaluating holding performance and reporting the results.

By following recognized API procedures, Centek provides operators with clear, consistent and comparable performance data to support informed product selection and well planning.
