API STANDARD 17G

Die Annotation des Normtextes API STANDARD 17G :

This standard defines a minimum set of requirements for performance, design, materials, testing and inspection, hot forming, welding, marking, handling, storing, and shipping of new build subsea well intervention equipment [through-BOP intervention riser system (TBIRS) and open water intervention riser system (OWIRS)]

The requirements in this standard apply to equipment whose rated working pressure (RWP) is less than or equal to 103.4 MPa (15,000 psi) or whose rated temperature is less than or equal to 177 °C (350 °F). For equipment ratings that exceed these limits, see API 17TR8.

Structural design methods and criteria given in API 17G are limited to components manufactured from materials that ensure ductile failure modes (e.g., carbon steels, low alloy steels, and corrosion-resistant alloys). Components manufactured from materials that may not ensure ductile failure modes (e.g., composite materials, titanium, and titanium alloys) are outside the scope of this standard.

The standard covers equipment that is connected to a fluid conduit tieback riser, either inside the marine riser (TBIRS) or open water (OWIRS). Intervention equipment, such as riserless light well intervention systems, downline connected equipment, and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) intervention equipment, are outside the scope of this standard.
