Foreword
The NORSOK standards are developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry to ensure adequate safety,
value adding and cost effectiveness for petroleum industry developments and operations. Furthermore,
NORSOK standards are, as far as possible, intended to replace oil company specifications and serve as
references in the authorities regulations.
The NORSOK standards are normally based on recognised international standards, adding the provisions
deemed necessary to fill the broad needs of the Norwegian petroleum industry. Where relevant, NORSOK
standards will be used to provide the Norwegian industry input to the international standardisation process.
Subject to development and publication of international standards, the relevant NORSOK standard will be
withdrawn.
The NORSOK standards are developed according to the consensus principle generally applicable for most
standards work and according to established procedures defined in NORSOK A-001.
The NORSOK standards are prepared and published with support by the Norwegian Oil and Gas
Association, The Federation of Norwegian Industries, Norwegian Shipowners Association and The
Petroleum Safety Authority Norway.
NORSOK standards are administered and published by Standards Norway.

4.2 Implementation of Pressure Equipment Directive

The provision of the NORSOK standards are intended to comply with the requirements of the EC Pressure
Equipment Directive and the Norwegian implementation regulation Forskrift for trykkpåkjent utstyr issued 9
June 1999. When this NORSOK standard refers to PED only, it is implicit that it also refers to the Norwegian
implementation regulation. In those applications where PED is governing, it is therefore necessary to apply
the PED and to involve a notified body to obtain the required approvals dependent of the selected
conformity assessment module applicable to each specific project.
The PED specific requirements for materials to be used for pressure equipment classified to PED category
III are related to the following:
- no less than 14 % elongation and no less than 27 J absorbed energy measured on Charpy V-notch at
the lowest scheduled operating temperature;
rd
- approval of welders and welding procedures by a 3 party organization recognized by an EC member
state;
rd
- approval of NDT operators by a 3 party organization recognized by an EC member state;

- certification of specific product control;

- the material manufacturer shall have an appropriate quality-assurance system, certified by a competent
body established within the Community and having undergone a specific assessment for materials.
All the above requirements are included in the collected MDS covering iron based alloys, i.e. C-, D-, S-, R-
and X-series, except for the following:
- carbon steels specified at MDS C01 and MDS C02 do not include impact test requirements;
- the requirement for 3rd party organization approval of welders and welding procedures and approval of
NDT operators is not included;
- the requirement for a quality-assurance system certified by a body established within the Community is
not included.
Polymer products specified by the MDS in the P-series are not classified as pressure bearing parts, except
for PE-pipe covered by MDS P41. Pipes to MDS P41 are only intended used for civil piping systems
designed to sound engineering practise within category 0.
For installation projects to the PED requirements the above listed exceptions to the PED requirements
should be considered, and added to the collected MDS as found necessary in agreement with the selected
notified body when applicable.
4.3 Compliance with ISO 15156 (all parts)

The specified requirements of ISO 15156-2 and ISO 15156-3 are included in the relevant MDS as defined
below:

Carbon steel MDS C- series
- All the carbon steel grades covered by the MDS C-series have nickel content less than 1 % and are not
free-machining steels.
- The MDS specify components to be delivered in normalised, normalised and tempered, or austenitized,
quenched and tempered condition.
- Since all components are specified to be delivered in heat treated conditions, hardness testing is not
specified unless hardness is a mandatory requirement of the relevant reference standard such as A 105
and A 350.
- The recommended requirement in ISO 15156-2 regarding sensitivity to HIC and SOHIC for carbon steel
is not implemented since the sulphur content of wrought products such as plate, welded pipes,
seamless pipes, and fittings made thereof, are not specified to comply with the recommended maximum
sulphur values, but specified to be 0,025 %.
Austenitic stainless steels and nickel base alloys MDS N-, R- and S-series
- The MDS specify all components to be manufactured and certified in solution heat treated condition
except for welded pipes in Type 6Mo with wall thickness less than 7,11 mm, which are to be made from
solution annealed plates and delivered in welded condition.
- No hardness measurement is specified since all components are specified to be certified in solution
annealed condition.
Ferritic/austenitic stainless steels MDS D-series

- The MDS specify all components to be manufactured and certified in solution heat treated condition
except for bolts to MDS D59 which are specified in solution annealed and strain hardened condition.
- The ferrite content is specified to be in the range 35 % to 55 % for base material and 35 % to 65 % for
weld metal in welded products.
- The microstructure shall be free from inter metallic phases and precipitates. If intermetallic phases or
precipitates are present these shall be reported and acceptance shall be based upon Charpy V-notch
and corrosion testing.
Low alloyed steels MDS X- series

- All the low alloyed steels grades covered by the MDS C-series have all nickel content less than 1 %
and are not free-machining steels.

- The MDS specify components to be delivered in normalised, or austenitized and, quenched and
tempered conditions.
- Hardness measurements are specified and maximum hardness values are included in all the relevant
MDS in compliance with ISO 15156-2, except for MDS X04 for which sour service requirements are not
complied with.
4.4 Deviations from ASME B31.3

The use of the piping materials according to NORSOK L-001, NORSOK M-601 and this NORSOK standard
will result in some deviations from ASME B31.3. All deviations have been carefully considered, and they are
in line with the PED harmonised standards. The deviations are as follows:
- NORSOK have of practical reasons limited the thickness for requiring impact testing to 6 mm;
- if sub-size Charpy V-notch impact test specimens are used the test temperature is not reduced;
- eddy current examination is accepted as replacement for spot radiography of longitudinal welds in
stainless steel pipes for wall thickness less than 4,0 mm;
- thin walled (thickness up to 7,11 mm) longitudinal welded pipes in Type 6Mo is accepted in as welded
condition provided the plate material used is solution annealed.
In general, the MDS have supplementary requirements beyond the ASTM standard to ensure a safe use of
the material grades.
4.5 Tensile testing and elongation

Tensile testing shall in general be carried out in accordance with ASTM A 370 as specified the referenced
product standards in the respective MDS. However, testing in accordance with ISO 6892-1 is also
acceptable. The elongation shall be measured and reported in accordance with the selected tensile test
standard ASTM A 370 or ISO 6892-1. For specimens to ASTM A 370 the gauge length shall be 50mm as far
as practical possible. For specimens to ISO 6892-1, test specimens with proportional gauge length shall be
used. Since these standards have different gauge length the specified minimum required elongation A
shall apply as relevant for each applicable standard.
4.6 Impact test temperature

The test temperature for carbon, low alloyed and duplex stainless steels is in general specified to be minus
46°C since this is the lowest standardized test temperature within ASME B31.3 for these materials. In case
a lower test temperature is applied this is acceptable, but the specified minimum absorbed energy shall
apply unless otherwise agreed with end user.
4.7 Microstructural examination
Intermetallic phases, chromium nitrides or carbides are to some degree present in stainless steel, even if
the amounts are minute. When viewing an austenitic or ferritic/austenitic stainless steel microstructure using
light optical microscopy inclusions of intermetallic phases, cooling nitrides in the ferrite phase of
ferritic/austenitic stainless steels or carbides can be seen if the examination is made very carefully and with
large enough magnification. The difficulty using light microscope in the examination is to identify any
possible dark spots as precipitates or other inclusions or etching effects. In general it is therefore difficult to
state that the microstructure is free from intermetallic phases and precipitates at minimum 400 X or 500 X
(200 X for castings) magnification. The experience is also that it is difficult to quantify the amount of
intermetallic phases and precipitates as the amount is likely to be different through the wall thickness of the
component and the counting method.
Basically, it is the detrimental effect to the intermetallic phases and precipitates to the physical and corrosion
properties of the material that shall be assured by performing the quality control testing. In addition to this,
there is a need to have test acceptance criteria that are definite to avoid discussions or to challenge the
integrity of the operator of microstructure examination.
The test requirements and acceptance criteria for the microstructure examination are therefore modified to
read as follows:
The specimen shall be polished and etched in 20 % NaOH etching solution or another etching agent
qualified by the M-650 qualification program.

The microstructure shall be examined and shall be free from detrimental intermetallic phases and
precipitations at 400 to 500 X magnification. Any presence of intermetallic phases and/or precipitates
shall be reported.
In case intermetallic phases and/or precipitations are detected, the acceptance of product shall be
based upon the corrosion and Charpy V-notch test results.
The current approach is therefore that the microstructure shall be free from detrimental intermetallic phases
at 400 or 500 X magnification (200 X for castings), but if present, the acceptance the products represented
shall be based upon the corrosion and Charpy V-notch test results. The findings from the microstructure
examination will in those cases become informative.
As a consequence of this change in quality control testing corrosion test in accordance with ASTM G 48 is
introduced as new test to type 22Cr duplex, ref. MDS D41 to D48. The test temperature is specified to be
25 °C and the test conditions the same as for type 25Cr duplex.

- All highly stressed areas including areas prone to fatigue.
Otherwise the acceptance of -case shall be agreed between the foundry and the customer at
order placement.
Procedure for removal of -case shall be established.
NOTE: Alpha-case (TiO) is a very hard and brittle surface layer, which is formed as a result of reaction
between the molten titanium and some type of mould binders, e.g. periclase.
The thickness of the alpha-case is dependent on the cooling rate during solidification. The heavier the
casting wall, the thicker the alpha-case layer.
The alpha case makes machining difficult, may cause cracking during welding and shallow micro cracks
may appear during liquid penetrant examination.
6. EXTENT OF Tensile testing is required for each heat and HIP batch or heat treatment load.
TESTING
Samples for production testing shall be cut from the gating system of the casting. For castings
with weight 150 kg and above the test blocks shall be integrally cast with the casting.
Size of the test block shall be 140 mm in length and 80 mm in height with thickness (T):
- T = 22 mm for t 30 mm.
- T = 50 mm for 30 < t 60 mm
- T = 75 mm for t > 60 mm
NOTE: t = section (shell) thickness of castings. For flanged components the largest flange thickness is the
ruling thickness.
Test samples shall accompany the castings through HIP and any heat treatment, chemical
cleaning process or any other operation that may alter metallurgical or mechanical properties.
