API RP 14E Document Information:
Title
Recommended Practice for Design and Installation of Offshore Production Platform Piping Systems
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Oct 1, 1991
Scope:
This document recommends minimum requirements and guidelines for
the design and installation of new piping systems on production
platforms located offshore. The maximum design pressure within the
scope of this document is 10,000 psig and the temperature range is
-20°F to 650°F. For applications outside these pressures and
temperatures, special consideration should be given to material
properties (ductility, carbon migration, etc.). The recommended
practices presented are based on years of experience in developing
oil and gas leases. Practically all of the off-shore experience has
been in hydrocarbon service free of hydrogen sulfide. However,
recommendations based on extensive experience onshore are included
for some aspects of hydrocarbon service containing hydrogen
sulfide.
This document contains both general and specific information on
surface facility piping systems not specified in API Specification
6A. Sections 2, 3 and 4 contain general information concerning the
design and application of pipe, valves, and fittings for typical
processes. Sections 6 and 7 contain general information concerning
installation, quality control, and items related to piping systems,
e.g., insulation, etc. for typical processes. Section 5 contains
specific information concerning the design of particular piping
systems including any deviations from the recommendations covered
in the general sections.
Carbon steel materials are suitable for the majority of the
piping systems on production platforms. At least one carbon steel
material recommendation is included for most applications. Other
materials that may be suitable for platform piping systems have not
been included because they are not generally used. The following
should be considered when selecting materials other than those
detailed in this RP.
Type of service.
Compatibility with other materials.
Ductility.
Need for special welding procedures.
Need for special inspection, tests, or quality control.
Possible misapplication in the field.
Corrosion/erosion caused by internal fluids and/or marine
environments.
