PREFACE PETRONAS Technical Standards (PTS) publications reflect the views, at the time of publication, of PETRONAS OPUs/Divisions. They are based on the experience acquired during the involvement with the design, construction, operation and maintenance of processing units and facilities. Where appropriate they are based on, or reference is made to, national and international standards and codes of practice. The objective is to set the recommended standard for good technical practice to be applied by PETRONAS' OPUs in oil and gas production facilities, refineries, gas processing plants, chemical plants, marketing facilities or any other such facility, and thereby to achieve maximum technical and economic benefit from standardisation. The information set forth in these publications is provided to users for their consideration and decision to implement. This is of particular importance where PTS may not cover every requirement or diversity of condition at each locality. The system of PTS is expected to be sufficiently flexible to allow individual operating units to adapt the information set forth in PTS to their own environment and requirements. When Contractors or Manufacturers/Suppliers use PTS they shall be solely responsible for the quality of work and the attainment of the required design and engineering standards. In particular, for those requirements not specifically covered, the Principal will expect them to follow those design and engineering practices which will achieve the same level of integrity as reflected in the PTS. If in doubt, the Contractor or Manufacturer/Supplier shall, without detracting from his own responsibility, consult the Principal or its technical advisor. The right to use PTS rests with three categories of users : 1) PETRONAS and its affiliates. 2) Other parties who are authorised to use PTS subject to appropriate contractual arrangements. 3) Contractors/subcontractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers under a contract with users referred to under 1) and 2) which requires that tenders for projects, materials supplied or - generally - work performed on behalf of the said users comply with the relevant standards. Subject to any particular terms and conditions as may be set forth in specific agreements with users, PETRONAS disclaims any liability of whatsoever nature for any damage (including injury or death) suffered by any company or person whomsoever as a result of or in connection with the use, application or implementation of any PTS, combination of PTS or any part thereof. The benefit of this disclaimer shall inure in all respects to PETRONAS and/or any company affiliated to PETRONAS that may issue PTS or require the use of PTS. Without prejudice to any specific terms in respect of confidentiality under relevant contractual arrangements, PTS shall not, without the prior written consent of PETRONAS, be disclosed by users to any company or person whomsoever and the PTS shall be used exclusively for the purpose they have been provided to the user. They shall be returned after use, including any copies which shall only be made by users with the express prior written consent of PETRONAS. The copyright of PTS vests in PETRONAS. Users shall arrange for PTS to be held in safe custody and PETRONAS may at any time require information satisfactory to PETRONAS in order to ascertain how users implement this requirement.

PART I INTRODUCTION 1.1 SCOPE This new PTS specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the purchase of both seam-welded and seamless weldable martensitic stainless steel (known generically as weldable 13Cr and weldable Super 13Cr) line pipe for use in oil and gas operations. The requirements are considered necessary to maintain technical integrity of pipelines and to ensure that a suitable specification exists in the absence of standardised grades of these materials.
NOTE: This PTS applies under non-sour conditions. The PETRONAS definition of sour service is given in PTS 31.22.20.31, however, as the application limits of these materials have not yet been determined, qualification testing in project-specific environments may be required even when the expected H2S is insufficient to give a sour service definition.

Part II of this PTS gives amendments and supplements to API Spec 5LC Third Edition July 1998 (Reaffirm 2006) and shall be read and used in conjunction with that document. The section numbering in Part II follows that of API Spec 5LC. Where sections of API Spec 5LC are not amended or supplemented by this PTS, they shall apply as written.
NOTE: Both API Spec 5LC and this PTS adopt sampling as a method to determine batch compliance. Nevertheless, all pipes supplied shall meet all requirements of this PTS.

1.2

DISTRIBUTION, INTENDED USE AND REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS Unless otherwise authorised by PETRONAS, the distribution of this PTS is confined to companies forming part of the PETRONAS Group or managed by a Group company, and to Contractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers nominated by them. This PTS is intended to be used for the purchase of line pipe for the construction of oil and gas production flowlines and related facilities. If national and/or local regulations exist in which some of the requirements may be more stringent than in this PTS, the Contractor shall determine by careful scrutiny which of the requirements are the more stringent and which combination of requirements will be acceptable as regards safety, environmental, economic and legal aspects. In all cases the Contractor shall inform the Principal of any deviation from the requirements of this PTS which is considered to be necessary in order to comply with national and/or local regulations. The Principal may then negotiate with the Authorities concerned with the object of obtaining agreement to follow this PTS as closely as possible.

The acceptance criterion shall be a minimum CTOD value of 0.15 mm.
