ISO 8277:2013

Ships and marine technology - Pipework and machinery - Information transfer

ISO 8277:2013 specifies the minimum data needed for the prefabrication and assembly of pipework and for its transfer from engineering departments to workshops in the shipbuilding industry. ISO 8277:2013 is applicable to written information needed for construction of piping installations that marine piping equipment manufacturers submit through specifications and instructions to shipyards on shipbuilding. ISO 8277:2013 is not applicable to the generation, type presentation and filing organization of this data.

Overview

ISO 8277:2013 - Ships and marine technology - Pipework and machinery - Information transfer - defines the minimum written data required for prefabrication, assembly and transfer of pipework information from engineering departments to workshops in the shipbuilding industry. It standardizes what piping equipment manufacturers must include in specifications and instructions submitted to shipyards, while explicitly not covering how the data are generated, presented or filed.

Key search keywords: ISO 8277:2013, pipework information, shipbuilding, information transfer, prefabrication, piping installations.

Key Topics

ISO 8277:2013 organizes pipework information into three main categories and lists essential items for each:

• Information on standard parts

  • Identification, name and reference to international/national standards (e.g., DIN, ANSI, JIS)
  • Nominal pressure (PN) and test pressure requirements
  • Nominal diameter (DN), material, thickness and dimensions (flange bolt circles, gasket thickness)
  • Mass, location coordinate references, included attachments (bolts, gaskets)
  • Identification colours (per ISO 14726:2008) and certification/test records

• Information on non-standard parts

  • Part name and drawing number, DN/PN, material and semi-manufactured article details
  • Detailed manufacturing information covering cutting, flanging, bending, welding, finishing (coatings, linings), testing and preservation
  • Labelling and special assembly instructions

• Administrative information

  • System, drawing, stock, ordering and part numbers
  • Quantity, delivery date and other logistical data

The standard also includes comparison tables for nominal pressures and diameters and a flow chart showing data and material flow for pipe production and installation.

Applications

ISO 8277:2013 is practical for:

• Marine and naval architects, piping and marine engineers
• Shipyards and workshop planners responsible for pipe prefabrication and assembly
• Piping equipment manufacturers preparing specifications and delivery instructions
• Procurement, quality assurance and installation teams coordinating manufacturing, testing and delivery

Use cases include handover of piping fabrication packages, defining test and certification expectations, coordinating materials/specifications between suppliers and shipyards, and reducing ambiguity during prefabrication.

Related Standards (if applicable)

• ISO 14726:2008 - Identification colours for piping systems (referenced)
• ISO 15583:2005 - Maritime standards list (referenced)
• Other related piping and flange standards listed in the ISO 8277 bibliography (e.g., ISO 7005-1, ANSI/ASME B16.5) that are commonly used alongside ISO 8277 in shipbuilding projects.

ISO 8277:2013 improves clarity and consistency in pipework data transfer, helping reduce rework and delays in shipbuilding prefabrication and assembly.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives

Introduction
The revision to this International Standard takes into account the recent globalization of the shipbuilding
industry and manufacturers of installed equipment, and the transformation of specifications, which
introduce the following points into piping machinery at shipyards:
— A growing number of installed equipment and piping equipment manufacturers, and their models;
— A diversification of standards specifying piping installations and piping fittings used by shipyards
and/or ship equipment manufacturers.
With this background there is a lack of information necessary to carry out pipe fittings and machinery
in shipyards, and an absence of consistency in the descriptions of these points.
This International Standard is revised taking into consideration the current situation of piping machinery
in shipyards. In order to enable manufacturers of equipment and/or piping equipment to comply with
this International Standard which specifies procedures of drawings and manufacturing, the revision
covers the following points:
— The implementation of this International Standard for operation when applying other international
standards and/or each national standard;
— The description of as many references as possible in a requirements and comments table as
applicable requirements to the latest circumstances of pipe fitting in shipyards.
