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withdrawn.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 Industry Association
(OLF), The Federation of Norwegian Industry, 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 (PED)
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 trykkpkjent 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;
approval of welders and welding procedures by a 3rd party organization recognized by an EC member
state;
approval of NDT operators by a 3rd 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-, Rand X-series, except for the following:
carbon steels specified at MDS C01 and MDS C02 do not include impact test requirements;
rd
the requirement for 3 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-serie 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 series
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 %.
- 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 sulfur content of wrought products such as plate, welded pipes, seamless
pipes, and fittings made thereof, are not specified to comply with the recommended maximum sulfur
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 specifies all components to be manufactured and certified in solution heat treated 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.
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 %.
- The MDS specifies 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 requirement 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 requirement beyond the ASTM standard to ensure a safe use of the
material grades.

4. TESTING
Test 2 Residual stresses:
(continued)
Due to normally used processing/cooling parameters during extrusion of PE pipes, there will be
certain frozen in/ residual stresses in the pipe wall, tensile stresses on the inside and balancing
compression stresses on the outside.
Frequency: The tests shall be done at start and end of production for each diameter of pipe.
The following method shall be used to determine internal stresses in extruded PEpipes:
A piece of pipe with a length, for instance equal to the pipe diameter, is cut off. A thin rod is sawed
out axially from this pipe piece to leave an axial opening in the pipe. This opening will normally be
reduced by hoop shrinkage of the pipe.
The residual stresses shall be calculated by the following equation:
= a/(Dm-a) x (s/Dm)E
where:
a
= reduction of pipe periphery
Dm = mean diameter of the pipe (D-s)

D = external diameter of the pipe
s
= wall thickness
= creep modulus of the pipe material (for interval of time occurring between cutting
and measuring, approx. 900 MPa for HDPE with a 3 min. interval) (Based on book
by Lars-Eric Janson: Plastics pipes for water supply and sewage disposal, section
3.3)
The residual stresses indicated by this method shall be below 2.5 MPa for all PE material.

CONDUCTIVITY
Not required.
6. PRODUCTION
METHOD
Fittings shall be made by moulding, or by mirror welding for larger dimension. The welding of
mitre/segment fittings shall satisfy requirements in DS/INF 70 (parts 1-7), and additional
requirements in EN 12201. Welded fittings shall be calculated, tested and documented according
to EN 122012, and EN 12201-5 (test assembly) requirements.
All welding shall be made by qualified operators, certified to class B, NEMKO SBC NO 60, and to
qualified and accepted welding procedure specifications (WPS). The WPS qualification shall
include test methods (1& 2) for residual stress level below 2.5 MPa, as specified under section 4.
Welding equipment shall be certified and calibrated to DS/INF 70. Whenever access allows, all
fittings shall have the weld bead ground to ensure smooth inner surfaces.

PRESSING
All castings shall be subject to Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP).

All castings, which due to size limitations cannot be HIP, shall be heat treated and radiographed.
Heat treatment is also required for all weld repairs carried out after HIP.
5. -CASE
For castings manufactured to this MDS -case in the casting surface shall be completely removed
at the foundry from following locations:
-
All surfaces, which shall be machined.
All weld bevels including an area of 20 mm on each side of the bevel.
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
TESTING
Tensile testing is required for each heat and HIP batch or heat treatment load.
7. TEST SAMPLING
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 60mm
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.

Title: Massive tungsten carbide material

1.
SCOPE
This document specifies requirements to massive tungsten carbide for use within pressure containing
equipment such as valves.
NOTE: Other designations used instead of tungsten carbide materials are cermets, hard metals, TC, WC or cemented carbide. The
tungsten carbide materials consist of tungsten carbide grains sintered together in a metallic matrix (binder), and combine a high
hardness level with fair fracture toughness. Their properties are influenced by a number of factors:
Type of binder (alloy content)
Amount of binder
Carbide grain size
Fabrication method (sintering / sintering and subsequent HIP/ sinterHIP).
Tungsten carbide materials are especially suitable for severe erosive service, with high sand concentrations and high flow velocity, e.g.
choke trim components.
2.
MANUFACTURING AND TESTING
The material for production choke trim components as cage, sleeve or plug and liner shall fulfill the following
requirements:
a) The amount of binder in the cemented tungsten carbide (WC) shall be in the range of 5 7 %.
b) The binder shall be of Co or Ni base. Co base materials shall be alloyed with Cr and Ni or Cr, Ni and
Mo to be corrosion resistant in well stream service. Ni base materials shall be alloyed with Cr or Cr and
Mo.
c) The WC-grain size shall be of type F (fine grained) according to ISO 4499/ASTM B390.
d) The material shall be produced by sintering with a subsequent hot isostatic pressing (HIP) or produced
by a combined sinter/HIP process.
e) The minimum hardness shall be 1900 Hv30, measured by the Vickers method. (ISO 3878 and ISO
6507)
f)
1/2
The fracture toughness shall be minimum K1c = 9.5 (MPa m ) measured by the Palmqvist (Vickers
indentation crack length) method at high magnification (minimum 500 X).
g) The Transversal Rupture Strength (TRS) shall be sufficient for the design and design pressure and for
bi-directional flow
h) NDT fluorescent dye penetrant testing shall be performed on each component to confirm that the
material is free from surface cracks.
i)
The tungsten carbide grade shall be erosion tested according to ASTM G76 and subject to evaluation
by Company.
j)
Depending on results of the above additional qualification and testing might be required.
Tungsten carbide materials not satisfying these requirements may be accepted for other applications after
evaluation of erosion and corrosion potential, the hardness level of the material and the fracture toughness.
Pure Co binder tungsten carbide grades shall not to be used during multiphase duty (corrosive environment
i.e. fluid containing water), due to the poor corrosion resistance of the Co binder.
The material requirements given for production chokes shall also apply for massive tungsten carbide
materials to be used in raw seawater injection. However, the grade composition should be evaluated in each
case due to the corrosivity of the oxygen rich seawater. System temperature shall also be taken into
consideration.

2. Alternative material to Alloy 630 is Type 22/25Cr duplex or nickel base alloy such as Alloy 718.
3. Seal rings in Type 22/25Cr duplex and Alloy 630 are only applicable for design temperature equal to or above -46 C and -101 C,
respectively.
4. Alternatively, high alloyed Nickel base alloys may be used, e.g. Alloy 625 and Alloy 725.
5. Seal ring for flanges/hubs in Type 22/25Cr duplex and 6Mo in service where traces of oxygen may be present, e.g. produced
water, jetting water, injection water etc. must be galvanic compatible with flange material. Type 6Mo should be used.
Selection of the ring material shall address the desired level of corrosion resistance, as well as any
environmental limits imposed by ISO 15156 (all parts), if applicable.
The seal ring in the ASME/API RTJ and mechanical joints are exposed to both the internal and external
environment and shall therefore have the same or better corrosion resistance than the flange/hub material to
both these environments.
The seal ring in a compact flange design may not be directly exposed to the internal or the external
environment under normal operation, however, all seal rings shall have the same or better corrosion
resistance than the flange/hub material to both these environments.
For connections to be installed subsea, the seal ring shall be corrosion resistant to ambient seawater and
with PREN = % Cr + 3.3 % Mo + 16 % N 40, e.g. Type 25Cr duplex and Alloy 625 or 725.

ASME/API RTJ FLANGES
The seal rings for the ASME ring type joint shall deform during make-up. The seal ring material shall
therefore be in a softer material than the flange material to ensure that the deformation is taken in the ring
and not in the flange ring groove.
All rings made in soft iron and UNS S31600 shall be delivered with a maximum hardness of 160 HB.
Material certificates to EN 10 204 Type 2.2 is required. The certificate shall as minimum include the following:
- Material and dimensional reference standard
- Chemical composition
- Hardness

COMPACT FLANGES AND MECHANICAL JOINTS
4.1
General
The seal rings for compact flanges and mechanical joint connections are designed to work in the elastic
range of the material as a spring. Neither the flange/hub material nor the seal ring shall yield during make-up
or operation and therefore these rings may be reused.
4.2
Material specification
Seal rings shall be made of forged or worked material in accordance with the applicable reference standard
specified in Table 2, and shall be delivered with a material certificate in accordance with EN 10204 Type 3.1.
All ferritic, ferritic/austenitic or martensitic materials shall be impact tested in accordance with applicable
MDS, ref. Table 2. Alloy 630 shall be impact tested at -101 C or at minimum design temperature and the
average absorbed energy shall be minimum 40 J.
Impact and hardness test shall be carried out to the same extent as tensile test.
The certificate shall as minimum include the following:
- Material reference standard
- Manufacturer of the starting material for the finished product
- Chemical composition
- Tensile test results
- Impact test results
- Hardness test results
