TMK, one of the world's leading producers of tubular products for the oil and gas industry, has successfully conducted certification of tubing with TMK PF premium connections in accordance with the ISO 13679 CAL IV standard. The tests were conducted at the Oil States Industries international testing center (Aberdeen, UK).

 This was the first certification of TMK tubing threaded with premium connections according to this standard. The testing qualification program was conducted by TMK-Premium Service, which presented grade L80 tubing threaded with TMK PF premium connections. During the testing, pipes were subjected to the 80% compression level.
