RECOMMENDED PRACTICE FOR FLEXIBLE PIPE ***ISO ADOPTION FROM ISO 13628-11***
Document Abstract
This part of ISO 13628 provides guidelines for the design,
analysis, manufacture, testing, installation and operation of
flexible pipes and flexible pipe systems for onshore, subsea and
marine applications. This part of ISO 13628 supplements ISO 13628-2
and ISO 13628-10, which specify minimum requirements for the
design, material selection, manufacture, testing, marking and
packaging of unbonded and bonded flexible pipe, respectively.
This part of ISO 13628 applies to flexible pipe assemblies,
consisting of segments of flexible pipe body with end fittings
attached to both ends. Both bonded and unbonded pipe types are
covered. In addition, this part of ISO 13628 applies to flexible
pipe systems, including ancillary components.
The applications covered by this part of ISO 13628 are sweet-
and sour-service production, including export and injection
applications. This part of ISO 13628 applies to both static and
dynamic flexible pipe systems used as flowlines, risers and
jumpers. This part of ISO 13628 does cover, in general terms, the
use of flexible pipes for offshore loading systems.
NOTE Refer also to Reference [30] for offshore loading
systems.
This part of ISO 13628 does not cover flexible pipes for use in
choke and kill lines or umbilical and control lines.
