FOREWORD
PETRONAS Technical Standards (PTS) has been developed based on the accumulated knowledge,
experience and best practices of the PETRONAS group supplementing National and International
standards where appropriate. The key objective of PTS is to ensure standard technical practice across
the PETRONAS group.
Compliance to PTS is compulsory for PETRONAS-operated facilities and Joint Ventures (JVs) where
PETRONAS has more than fifty percent (50%) shareholding and/or operational control, and includes
all phases of work activities.

Contractors/manufacturers/suppliers who use PTS are solely responsible in ensuring the quality of
work, goods and services meet the required design and engineering standards. In the case where
O
specific requirements are not covered in the PTS, it is the responsibility of the
se
Contractors/manufacturers/suppliers to propose other proven or internationally established
standards or practices of the same level of quality and integrity as reflected in the PTS.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Please be informed that the entire PTS inventory is currently undergoing transformation exercise from
2013 - 2015 which includes revision to numbering system, format and content. As part of this change,
the PTS numbering system has been revised to 6-digit numbers and drawings, forms and requisition
to 7-digit numbers. All newly revised PTS will adopt this new numbering system, and where required
make reference to other PTS in its revised numbering to ensure consistency. Users are requested to

and PTS 14.10.04; covering stable operation from minimum to design heat duty.
8.1.2 Flow controller shall be installed at the feed line to the heater, which will open the spillover
bypass and / or full-flow bypass; to maintain hot oil flow above minimum requirement to avoid
high film temperature. Refer Appendix 1 for detail.

9.0 INSULATION
9.1.1 Insulation requirement for hot oil system shall follows PTS 15.13.01.
9.1.2 No insulation or non-absorbent insulation type (e.g. foam glass) shall be considered at flanges,
joints, edge, and instruments connection. Closed cell Styrofoam (or similar) should be
considered for silicone-based hot oil. This is due to the fact that hot oil has a tendency to leak
and penetrate this potentially creep location thus accumulate inside the insulation. Hazard
such as sudden fires may occur due to temperature built-up within insulation and slow
y
exorthemic oxidation at high temperature.
