Petroleum and natural gas industries - Materials for use in H2S-containing environments in oil and gas production - Part 1: General principles for selection of cracking-resistant materials (ISO 15156-1:2009)

ISO 15156-1:2009 describes general principles and gives requirements and recommendations for the selection and qualification of metallic materials for service in equipment used in oil and gas production and in natural-gas sweetening plants in H2S-containing environments, where the failure of such equipment can pose a risk to the health and safety of the public and personnel or to the environment. ISO 15156-1:2009 can be applied to help to avoid costly corrosion damage to the equipment itself. It supplements, but does not replace, the materials requirements given in the appropriate design codes, standards or regulations.
ISO 15156-1:2009 addresses all mechanisms of cracking that can be caused by H2S, including sulfide stress cracking, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen-induced cracking and stepwise cracking, stress-oriented hydrogen-induced cracking, soft zone cracking and galvanically induced hydrogen stress cracking.
A non-exhaustive list is provided of equipment to which ISO 15156-1:2009 is applicable, together with permitted exclusions.
ISO 15156-1:2009 applies to the qualification and selection of materials for equipment designed and constructed using conventional elastic design criteria.
ISO 15156-1:2009 is not necessarily applicable to equipment used in refining or downstream processes and equipment.

Dieser Teil von ISO 15156 beschreibt die allgemeinen Grundlagen, nennt Anforderungen und gibt Empfehlungen für die Auswahl und Qualifizierung von metallischen Werkstoffen für den Betrieb in Einrich-tungen der Öl- und Gasgewinnung und in Sauergasaufbereitungsanlagen im Bereich H2S-haltiger Umge-bungen, deren Versagen ein mögliches Gesundheits- und Sicherheitsrisiko für die Allgemeinheit und das Personal oder für die Umwelt darstellen kann. Er kann angewendet werden zur Vermeidung kostspieliger Beschädigungen infolge von Korrosion der Anlage selbst. Er ergänzt, ersetzt aber nicht die in einschlägigen Konstruktionsrichtlinien, Normen oder Regelwerken enthaltenen Anforderungen an Werkstoffe.
Dieser Teil von ISO 15156 behandelt alle Rissbildungsarten, die durch H2S verursacht werden können, einschließlich H2S-induzierte Spannungsrisskorrosion (SSC), Spannungsrisskorrosion (SCC), wasserstoff-induzierte Rissbildung (HIC) und Stufenrissbildung (SWC), spannungsorientierte wasserstoffinduzierte Riss-bildung (SOHIC), Weichzonenrissbildung (SZC) und galvanisch induzierte wasserstoffinduzierte Rissbildung (GHSC).
Tabelle 1 enthält als nicht erschöpfende Liste eine Übersicht von Ausrüstungen, die in den Anwendungs-bereich dieses Teiles von ISO 15156 fallen, einschließlich zugelassener Ausnahmen.
Dieser Teil von ISO 15156 gilt für die Qualifizierung und Auswahl von Werkstoffen für Ausrüstungen, die unter Verwendung von konventionellen Kriterien für den elastischen Einsatz ausgelegt und gebaut wurden.
Dieser Teil von ISO 15156 ist nicht zwangsläufig auch für die Anwendung auf Ausrüstungen in Raffinerien oder Verfahren und Einrichtungen geeignet, die der Öl- und Gasgewinnung nachgeschaltet sind.

Industries du pétrole et du gaz naturel - Matériaux pour utilisation dans des environnements contenant de l'hydrogène sulfuré (H2S) dans la production de pétrole et de gaz - Partie 1: Principes généraux pour le choix des matériaux résistant au craquage (ISO 15156-1:2009)

L'ISO 15156-1:2009 décrit les principes d'ordre général, spécifie des exigences et donne des recommandations concernant la sélection et la qualification de matériaux métalliques destinés à être exposés à des milieux contenant de l'hydrogène sulfuré (H2S), dans les équipements utilisés en production de pétrole et de gaz ainsi que dans les installations de traitement du gaz naturel, lorsqu'une rupture d'un équipement peut présenter un risque pour la santé et la sécurité du public et du personnel ou pour l'environnement. L'ISO 15156-1:2009 peut aussi aider à prévenir les endommagements coûteux des équipements eux-mêmes dus à la corrosion. Elle complète, sans toutefois s'y substituer, les exigences concernant les matériaux dans les codes de construction, normes ou autres réglementations appropriés.
L'ISO 15156-1:2009 traite de tous les mécanismes de fissuration pouvant être induits par l'hydrogène sulfuré, à savoir la rupture différée par H2S, la corrosion fissurante sous contrainte, la décohésion interne et la fissuration en gradins, la décohésion interne sous contrainte, la fissuration des zones de plus faible dureté et la rupture différée par l'hydrogène induite par couplage galvanique.
Elle donne une liste non exhaustive des équipements relevant du domaine d'application et des équipements pouvant en être exclus.
Elle s'applique à la qualification et à la sélection des matériaux pour les équipements conçus et construits sur la base des critères de calcul élastiques traditionnels.
L'application de l'ISO 15156-1:2009 ne convient pas nécessairement aux processus et équipements de raffinage ou en aval.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15156-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures
for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.

revision, specifically by the following:
⎯ inclusion of changes to Table 1 in line with the version shown in ISO 15156-2 and ISO 15156-3;
⎯ inclusion of changes to Clause 5 to make clearer the roles of those involved in the selection and supply
and use of materials;
⎯ replacement of the term “pre-qualified material”.
ISO 15156 consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum and natural gas industries —
Materials for use in H S-containing environments in oil and gas production:

Introduction
The consequences of sudden failures of metallic oil and gas field components, associated with their exposure
to H S-containing production fluids, led to the preparation of the first edition of NACE MR0175, which was
published in 1975 by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers, now known as NACE International.
The original and subsequent editions of NACE MR0175 established limits of H S partial pressure above which
precautions against sulfide stress-cracking (SSC) were always considered necessary. They also provided
guidance for the selection and specification of SSC-resistant materials when the H S thresholds were
exceeded. In more recent editions, NACE MR0175 has also provided application limits for some
corrosion-resistant alloys, in terms of environmental composition and pH, temperature and H S partial
pressures.
In separate developments, the European Federation of Corrosion issued EFC Publication 16 in 1995 and EFC
Publication 17 in 1996. These documents are generally complementary to those of NACE though they differed
in scope and detail.
In 2003, the publication of the three parts of ISO 15156 and NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 was completed for the
first time. These technically identical documents utilized the above sources to provide requirements and
recommendations for materials qualification and selection for application in environments containing wet H S
in oil and gas production systems. They are complemented by NACE TM0177 and NACE TM0284 test
methods.
The revision of this part of ISO 15156 involves a consolidation of all changes agreed and published in the
Technical Corrigendum 1, ISO 15156-1:2001/Cor.1:2005 and by the Technical Circular 1,
ISO 15156-1:2001/Cir.1:2007(E), published by the ISO 15156 maintenance agency secretariat at DIN, Berlin.
The changes were developed by, and approved by the ballot of, representative groups from within the oil and
gas production industry. The great majority of these changes stem from issues raised by document users. A
description of the process by which these changes were approved can be found at the ISO 15156
maintenance website www.iso.org/iso15156maintenance.
When found necessary by oil and gas production industry experts, future interim changes to this part of
