Scope

Standardization in the field of pipeline transportation of fluids specific for oil and gas industries including lower carbon energy activities.

Objects of standardization comprise the following elements of the on-land and offshore pipelines:

• pipeline system as a whole including gathering lines and distribution piping,
• line pipe (excluding: ferrous metal pipes and metallic fittings related to ISO/TC 5, aluminium alloy pipes related to ISO/TC67/WG5),
• valves and their equipment (including actuators and mounting kits),
• bends, flanges, and fittings (including corrosion resistant ones),
• pipeline connectors,
• pipeline repair techniques and materials,
• external protective coatings (including polyolefin, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyurethane, and epoxy),
• external insulating coatings (including wet thermal insulation),
• external weight coatings (including concrete coating),
• internal anticorrosion coatings (excluding protective paint systems for steel structures related to ISO/TC 35/SC 14).

Aspects of standardization comprise the concepts relating to design, construction, operation, inspection, and maintenance of the pipeline systems, including:

• integrity management,
• fluid transfer modes,
• life extension,
• risk management including those risks initiated by geological hazards,
• in-field coating repairs,
• corrosion protection including cathodic protection and prevention of corrosion influenced by stray currents,
• requirements for the transportation of fluids containing carbon dioxide,
• requirements for the transportation of fluids containing hydrogen,
• requirements for ammonia transportation,
• test procedures of different elements of pipeline systems,
• non-destructive testing including in-line inspection,
• repair methods,
• terminology.
