Each joint of drill pipe is sometimes called Single and the length of each single is classified based on three API length range in the table below (see Table 1).
Table 1 API Range of DrillPipe
The most common drill pipe length is commonly in Range 2 (R2). Each joint of drill pipe does not have the same length therefore all drill pipes must be measured to get an exact length. Drilling depth is measured by length of drill string (drill pipe, drill collar, BHA) hence the right measurement is the key of the right depth.
The drill pipes are manufactured in various sizes, material, etc. In order to standard pipe grade, API classifies drill pipe into several classes based on the table below (Table 2).

In the industry, there are several drill pipes manufactured from several companies. Therefore, in order to get the detailed specification of particular pipe, it is recommended that you need to find data from the manufacture spec sheet.
