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 13625 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures

for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 4, Drilling and production

equipment.

4.1 Service classifications
4.1.1 Design information

The coupling manufacturer shall provide design information for each coupling size and model which defines

load capacity rating. These data are to be based on design load (see 4.5) and verified by testing (see 8.2).

Riser couplings are categorized by riser main tube size . The riser pipe outer diameter and wall thickness

(or wall thickness range) for which the coupling is designed shall be documented.

4.1.3 Rated load

The rated loads listed in here provide a means of general classification of coupling models based on stress

magnitude caused by applied load. To qualify for a particular rated load, neither calculated nor measured

stresses in a coupling shall exceed the allowable stress limits of the coupling material when subjected to the

rated load. The allowable material stresses are established in 4.6.
The rated loads are as follows:
a) 2 220 kN (500 000 lbf);
b) 4 450 kN (1 000 000 lbf);
c) 5 560 kN (1 250 000 lbf);
d) 6 670 kN (1 500 000 lbf);

ISO 13625:2002(E)
4.1.4 Stress amplification factor

locations of highest stress in the pin and box. SAF is a function of pipe size, and wall thickness. It is calculated

as follows:
LPA
K =
SAF
NAS
where
σ is local peak alternating stress;
LPA
σ is nominal alternating stress in pipe.
NAS
4.1.5 Rated working pressure

Riser couplings shall be designed to provide a pressure seal between joints. The manufacturer shall

document the rated internal working pressure for the coupling design.
4.2 Riser loading
4.2.1 General

A drilling riser's ability to resist environmental loading depends primarily on tension. Environmental loading

includes the hydrodynamic forces of current and waves and the motions induced by the floating vessel's

dynamic response to waves and wind.

The determination of a riser's response to the environmental loading and determination of the mechanical

loads acting upon, and developed within, the riser require specialized computer modelling and analysis. (For

[2]

the general procedure used to determine riser system design loads and responses, see API RP 16Q .

Additional sources of applied load that are not included in the rated load may significantly affect the coupling

design and shall be included in design calculations.
4.2.2 Loads induced by choke and kill and auxiliary lines

Riser couplings typically provide support for choke and kill and auxiliary lines. This support constrains the lines

to approximate the curvature of the riser pipe. Loads can be induced on the coupling from pressure in the

lines, imposed deflections on the lines and the weight of the lines. The manufacturer shall document those

loads induced by choke and kill and auxiliary lines for which the coupling has been designed.

4.2.3 Loads induced by buoyancy

Riser couplings may provide support for buoyancy, which induces loads on the couplings. The manufacturer

shall document the buoyancy thrust loads for which the coupling has been designed.

4.2.4 Loads induced during handling

Temporary loads are induced by suspending the riser from the handling tool or spider or both. The

manufacturer shall document the riser handling loads for which the coupling is designed and how these loads

are applied.
4.3 Determination of stresses by analysis

Design of riser couplings for static loading (see 4.6) and determination of the stress amplification factors (see

4.7) require detailed knowledge of the stress distribution in the coupling. This information is acquired by finite

element analysis and subsequently validated by prototype strain gauge testing. A finite element analysis of the

© ISO 2002 – All rights reserved 5
---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 13625:2004
ISO 13625:2002(E)

riser coupling shall be performed and documented. The analysis shall provide accurate or conservative peak

stresses, and shall include any deleterious effects of loss of preload from wear, friction and manufacturing

tolerances. Suggestions for the analysis can be found in Annex A. The following shall be documented and

included in the analysis:
a) hardware and software used to perform the analysis;
b) grid size;
c) applied loads;
d) preload losses;
e) material considerations.
4.4 Stress distribution verification test

After completion of the design studies, a prototype (or multiple prototypes) of the riser coupling shall be tested

to verify the stress analysis. The testing has two primary objectives: to verify any assumptions which were

made about preloading, separation behaviour and friction coefficients, and to substantiate the analytical stress

predictions.

Strain gauge data shall be used to measure preload stresses as they relate to make-up load or displacement.

Friction coefficients shall be varied (including at least two values) in order to establish sensitivity.

The coupling design load shall be applied in order to verify any assumption made in the analysis regarding

separation.

Strain gauges shall be placed as near as physically possible to at least five of the most highly stressed

regions, as predicted by the finite element analyses performed in accordance with 4.3, and in five locations

away from stress concentrations. Rosettes shall be used. All strain gauge readings and the associated loading

conditions shall be recorded such that they may be retained as part of the coupling design documentation.

Normal design qualification tests may be performed simultaneously with this stress distribution verification

testing (see 8.2).

NOTE It is often difficult to acquire sufficient strain data to totally correlate with the analytical results. High-stress

areas may be inaccessible and are sometimes so small that a strain gauge gives an average rather than the peak value.

The testing serves to verify the pattern of strain in regions surrounding the critical points.

4.5 Coupling design load

The coupling design load represents the maximum load-carrying capacity of the coupling. The manufacturer

shall establish the design load for each coupling design, based on the methods and criteria given in this

International Standard. Neither calculated nor measured stresses in a coupling shall exceed the allowable

stress limits of the coupling material when subjected to the design load. The allowable material stresses are

established in 4.6. The coupling’s rated load (see 4.1.3) shall be less than or equal to the coupling’s design

load.

For simplicity, the design loading condition is taken to be axisymmetric tension. In using this simplification,

riser bending moment is converted to equivalent tension, T . The coupling design load can be specified

either as an axisymmetric tension of magnitude, T , or it may be considered to be any combination of

design
tension (T) and bending moment (M) so that
