Full Description
ISO 15156 consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum and naturalgas industries - Materials for use in H2S-containing environments in oil and gas production:
Part 1: General principles for selection of cracking-resistant materialsThis part of ANSI/NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 describes general principles and gives requirements andrecommendations for the selection and qualification of metallic materials for service in equipment used in oiland gas production and in natural-gas sweetening plants in H2S-containing environments, where the failure ofsuch equipment can pose a risk to the health and safety of the public and personnel or to the environment. Itcan be applied to help to avoid costly corrosion damage to the equipment itself. It supplements, but does notreplace, the materials requirements given in the appropriate design codes, standards or regulations.
Part 2: Cracking-resistant carbon and low-alloy steels, and the use of cast ironsThis part of ANSI/NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 gives requirements and recommendations for the selection andqualification of carbon and low-alloy steels for service in equipment used in oil and natural gas production andnatural gas treatment plants in H2S-containing environments, whose failure can pose a risk to the health andsafety of the public and personnel or to the environment. It can be applied to help to avoid costly corrosiondamage to the equipment itself. It supplements, but does not replace, the materials requirements of theappropriate design codes, standards or regulations.
Part 3: Cracking-resistant CRAs (corrosion-resistant alloys) and other alloysThis part of ANSI/NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 gives requirements and recommendations for the selection andqualification of CRAs (corrosion-resistant alloys) and other alloys for service in equipment used in oil andnatural gas production and natural gas treatment plants in H2S-containing environments, whose failure canpose a risk to the health and safety of the public and personnel or to the environment. It can be applied to helpto avoid costly corrosion damage to the equipment itself. It supplements, but does not replace, the materialsrequirements of the appropriate design codes, standards or regulations.
