Recommends minimum requirements and guidelines for the design and installation of new piping systems on offshore production platforms. Includes general recommendations on design and application of pipe, valves, and fittings for typical processes; general information on installation, quality control, and items related to piping systems such as insulation; and specific recommendations for the design of particular piping systems.

This document recommends minimum requirements and guidelines for the design and installation of new piping systems on production platforms located offshore. The maximum design pressure within the scope of this document is 10,000 psig and the temperature range is -20’F to 650’F. For applications outside these pressures and temperatures. special con- sideration should be given to material properties (duc- tility, carbon migration, etc.). The recommended prac- tices presented are based on years of ex erience in developing oil and gas leases. Practically alrof the offshore experience has been in hydrocarbon service free of hydrogen sulfide. However, recommendations based on extensive experience onshore are included for some as cts of hydrocarbon service containing hydrogen suEde.
