Petroleum and natural gas industries - Materials for use in H₂S-containing environments in oil and gas production - Part 3: Cracking-resistant CRAs (corrosion-resistant alloys) and other alloys (ISO 15156-3:2015); German version EN ISO 15156-3:2015
Erdöl- und Erdgasindustrie - Werkstoffe für den Einsatz in H₂S-haltiger Umgebung bei der Öl- und Gasgewinnung - Teil 3: Hochlegierte Stähle (CRAs) und andere Legierungen (ISO 15156-3:2015); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 15156-3:2015
Overview
This part of ISO 15156 gives requirements and recommendations for the selection and qualification of CRAs (corrosion-resistant alloys) and other alloys for service in equipment used in oil and natural gas production and natural gas treatment plants in H2S-containing environments, whose failure can pose a potential risk to the health and safety of the public and personnel or to the environment. It can be applied to avoid costly corrosion damage to the equipment itself. It supplements, but does not replace, the material requirements of the appropriate design codes, standards or regulations. This part of ISO 15156 addresses the resistance of these materials to damage that can be caused by sulfide stress cracking (SSC), stress corrosion cracking (SCC), and galvanically induced hydrogen stress cracking (GHSC). This part of ISO 15156 is concerned only with cracking. Loss of material by general (mass loss) or localized corrosion is not addressed. Table 1 provides a non-exhaustive list of equipment to which this part of ISO 15156 is applicable, including permitted exclusions. This part of ISO 15156 applies to the qualification and selection of materials for equipment designed and constructed using load controlled design methods. For design utilizing strain-based design methods, see ISO 15156-1:2015, Clause 5. This part of ISO 15156 is not necessarily suitable for application to equipment used in refining or downstream processes and equipment. Working Committee NA 109-00-01-70 AK "Korrosionsbeständige Werkstoffe" ("Corrosion resistant materials") at DIN Standards Committee Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries (NÖG) is responsible for the German collaboration.
