Step 5. Threaded and coupled line pipe is tallied in over-
all lengths, including the coupling and the threads. This
rule also applies to oilwell tubing, casing and drill pipes in
storage. It is not necessary to remove pipe thread protec-
tors during a pipe tally at the warehouse or dockside (see
Figure 8-6).
Step 6. When issuing pipe, always send an extra
amount, never less than requested. Record the length and
joint number on the tally sheet, and verify accuracy. Do not
store mixed pipe schedules or types on the same rack.
