Bypass tests of Ø219×8mm 13KhFA, 08KhMFChA, 20-ksh (steel 20 corrosion resistant cold resistant) and Grade steel 20 piping spools were carried out on an oil-gathering line of one of the oilfields in the Stavropol region. Tubing condition was checked after 7, 15, 17 and 23 months of testing. After two years in service no change was found in mechanical properties of the base metal or weldments manufactured from 13KhFA and 08KhMFChA steels. It has been demonstrated that the formation of

Estimated, laboratory and comparison passivation coefficients have been proposed. These coefficients make it possible to predict the level of steel self-passivation with regard to operating conditions of particular oilfields.
