AS 23936.1:2022 adopts and modifies ISO 23936 1:2009, which provides general principles and gives requirements and recommendations for the selection and qualification, as well as guidance for the quality assurance, of non-metallic materials for service in equipment used in oil and gas production environments where the failure of such equipment could pose a risk to the health and safety of the public and personnel or to the environment.

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee ME-092, Materials, equipment, structures and related services for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.

The objective of this document is to present general principles and give requirements and recommendations for the selection and qualification, as well as guidance for the quality assurance, of non-metallic materials for service in equipment used in oil and gas production environments where the failure of such equipment could pose a risk to the health and safety of the public and personnel or to the environment. It can be applied to help to avoid costly corrosion failures of the equipment itself.

It supplements, but does not replace, the material requirements given in the appropriate design codes, standards or regulations.

This document addresses the resistance of thermoplastics to the deterioration in properties that can be caused by physical or chemical interaction with produced and injected oil and gas-field media, and with production and chemical treatment. Interaction with sunlight is included; however, ionizing radiation is excluded from the scope of this document.
