PREFACE
PETRONAS Technical Standards (PTS) publications reflect the views, at the time of publication, of
PETRONAS OPUs/Divisions.
They are based on the experience acquired during the involvement with the design, construction,
operation and maintenance of processing units and facilities. Where appropriate they are based on, or
reference is made to, national and international standards and codes of practice.
The objective is to set the recommended standard for good technical practice to be applied by
PETRONAS' OPUs in oil and gas production facilities, refineries, gas processing plants, chemical
plants, marketing facilities or any other such facility, and thereby to achieve maximum technical and
economic benefit from standardization.
The information set forth in these publications is provided to users for their consideration and decision
to implement. This is of particular importance where PTS may not cover every requirement or diversity
of condition at each locality. The system of PTS is expected to be sufficiently flexible to allow
individual operating units to adapt the information set forth in PTS to their own environment and
requirements.
When Contractors or Manufacturers/Suppliers use PTS they shall be solely responsible for the quality
of work and the attainment of the required design and engineering standards. In particular, for those
requirements not specifically covered, the Principal will expect them to follow those design and
engineering practices which will achieve the same level of integrity as reflected in the PTS. If in doubt,
the Contractor or Manufacturer/Supplier shall, without detracting from his own responsibility, consult
the Principal or its technical advisor.
The right to use PTS rests with three categories of users:
1)
2)
3)

PETRONAS and its affiliates.

Other parties who are authorized to use PTS subject to appropriate contractual
arrangements.
Contractors/subcontractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers under a contract with users
referred to under 1) and 2) which requires that tenders for projects, materials
supplied or - generally - work performed on behalf of the said users comply with the
relevant standards.

Subject to any particular terms and conditions as may be set forth in specific agreements with users,
PETRONAS disclaims any liability of whatsoever nature for any damage (including injury or death)
suffered by any company or person whomsoever as a result of or in connection with the use,
application or implementation of any PTS, combination of PTS or any part thereof. The benefit of this
disclaimer shall inure in all respects to PETRONAS and/or any company affiliated to PETRONAS that
may issue PTS or require the use of PTS.
Without prejudice to any specific terms in respect of confidentiality under relevant contractual
arrangements, PTS shall not, without the prior written consent of PETRONAS, be disclosed by users
to any company or person whomsoever and the PTS shall be used exclusively for the purpose they
have been provided to the user. They shall be returned after use, including any copies which shall
only be made by users with the express prior written consent of PETRONAS.
The copyright of PTS vests in PETRONAS. Users shall arrange for PTS to be held in safe custody
and PETRONAS may at any time require information satisfactory to PETRONAS in order to ascertain
how users implement this requirement.

INTRODUCTION
This PTS specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the supply of weldable
structural steel materials for use in fixed offshore structure. It applies to steel jacket
substructures, foundation piles and decks.
The scope of this PTS includes the supply of plates, rolled sections, seamless hollow section
and welded (HFW) hollow sections. The delivery requirements for tubular members
fabricated from rolled plate are also specified. The PTS applies both to material supplied by
the Manufacturer and the Contractor.

1.1

CONTENT SUMMARY
Three steel categories are covered:
Primary: All main structures
Secondary: Secondary structure, i.e. deck stringers, equipment supports and flooring
Tertiary: Stairs Handrails, access platforms
Section 2 of this PTS specifies the technical requirements for primary steel, presented in the
form of amendments and supplements to EN 10225:2001 (plus Corr. 1, 2003).
Section 3 of this PTS specifies specific technical requirements for the supply of primary steel
tubular members fabricated from plate.
Section 4 of this PTS specifies the technical requirements for secondary and tertiary steels,
presented in the form of supplements to EN 10025:2004.
Section 5 of this PTS specifies the documentation and information requirements for primary
steel.
Section 6 of this PTS specifies the requirements for storage and the maintenance of
traceability.
This is a revision of the PTS of the same number dated December 2008; see (1.5) for the
summary of changes.

1.2

DISTRIBUTION, INTENDED USE AND REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS

Unless otherwise authorised by PETRONAS, the distribution of this PTS is confined to
companies forming part of PETRONAS group and Contractors nominated by them.
This PTS is intended for use in Exploration and Production companies that require the use of
weldable structural steel for fixed offshore structures.
If national and/or local regulations exist in which some of the requirements may be more
stringent than in this PTS, the Contractor shall determine by careful scrutiny which of the
requirements are the more stringent and which combination of requirements will be
acceptable with regard to the safety, environmental, economic and legal aspects. In all cases
the Contractor shall inform the Principal of any deviation from the requirements of this PTS
which is considered to be necessary in order to comply with national and/or local regulations.
The Principal may then negotiate with the Authorities concerned, the objective being to
obtain agreement to follow this PTS as closely as possible.

1.3

1.5 (i.e. to 45 %).

(c) Where it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Purchaser that particular tubulars
will be butt welded together in the completed assembly, then the Zone A tolerance in (a)
above may be multiplied by 1.5 provided the individual tolerances are of the same sign (i.e. both
positive or both negative). In addition, the misalignment tolerance of 4.5.2 shall be met.

6.1

MATERIAL MARKING

PTS37.19.10.30
April2011
Page18

The steel shall be colour coded in accordance with EN 10225. The steel shall be marked such
that the grade, heat number and special purchase order requirements can be immediately
recognized.
All heat numbers or identification markings shall be transferred from piece to piece prior to
cutting.
The markings shall be maintained throughout the life of the project.
6.2

MATERIAL STORAGE
Structural materials, whether plain or fabricated shall be stored above ground on flat surfaces
or platform type skids.
Materials shall be kept free of dirt, grease, paint spray, or other foreign material and shall be
protected from corrosion.
