Scope

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 risk to the health and safety of the public and personnel or to the environment. It can be applied to help avoid costly corrosion damage to the equipment itself. It supplements, but does not replace, the materials 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, This part of ISO 15156 is not necessarily suitable for application to equipment used in refining or downstream processes and equipment.  1  Table 1 — List of equipment following equipment Permitted exclusions Drilling, well construction, and well-servicing equipment Equipment exposed only to drilling fluids of controlled compositiona Drill bits Blowout-preventer (BOP) shear bladesb Drilling riser systems Work strings Wireline and wireline equipmentc Surface and intermediate casing Sucker rod pumps and sucker rodsd Wells including subsurface equipment, gas lift equipment, wellheads, and christmas trees Electric submersible pumps Other artificial lift equipment Slips Flow-lines, gathering lines, field facilities, and field processing plants Crude oil storage and handling facilities operating at a total absolute pressure below 0,45 MPa (65 psi) Water-handling equipment Water-handling facilities operating at a total absolute pressure below 0,45 MPa (65 psi) Water injection and water disposal equipment Natural gas treatment plants — Transportation pipelines for liquids, gases, and multi-phase fluids Lines handling gas prepared for general commercial and domestic use For all equipment above Components loaded only in compression a      See ISO 15156-2:2015, A.2.3.2.3 for more information. b      See ISO 15156-2:2015, A.2.3.2.1 for more information. c      Wireline lubricators and lubricator connecting devices are not permitted exclusions. d      For sucker rod pumps and sucker rods, reference can be made to NACE MR0176.
