Abstract: A tubular has a central axis and includes a first end, a second end, and a radially outer surface extending axially from the first end to the second end. In addition, the tubular includes a first end section at the first end, a second end section at the second end, and a mid-section extending axially from the first end section to the second end section. The first end section includes a first threaded portion and the second end section includes a second threaded portion. Further, the tubular includes an elongate recess extending radially inward from the radially outer surface. The elongate linear recess is positioned along the mid-section axially between the first threaded portion and the second threaded portion. The elongate linear recess has a longitudinal axis oriented parallel to the central axis of the tubular. The tubular also includes an elongate RFID tag seated in the elongate recess.

Abstract: A piping is provided with an RFID tag for identifying the piping, wherein the piping comprises a first end section for being coupled to a second piping and a second end section for being coupled to a third piping. The piping further comprises a mid-section in between the end sections. The RFID tag is provided in an elongate recess that is formed in the piping and that extends in a tangential direction parallel to a surface of the mid-section of the piping.

Abstract: A device and a method for attaching an ID marker to a cylindrical object further characterized by that said marker is placed into a fitting, said fitting has a cylindrical shape, said fitting fits around said cylindrical object.
