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 3.
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 International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 13847 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and
offshore structures for petroleum and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 2, Pipeline transportation systems.
Annexes A, B, C and D of this International Standard are for information only.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 13847:2000(E)
Petroleum and natural gas industries — Pipeline transportation
systems — Welding of pipelines
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the requirements for producing and inspecting girth, branch and fillet welds in
the pipeline part of pipeline transportation systems for the petroleum and natural gas industries meeting the
requirements of ISO 13623.
This International Standard is applicable to the requirements for welding of carbon and low-alloy steel pipes.
Application is restricted to pipes with a diameter of 20 mm and larger and wall thickness of 3 mm or more, and a
specified minimum yield strength of 555 MPa or less. It is also applicable to welding into pipelines, items such as
spools, risers, launchers/receivers, fittings, flanges and “pups” to pipeline valves.
The welding processes covered are shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, gas metal arc welding,
flux-cored arc welding with and without shielding gas, and submerged arc welding.
This International Standard is not applicable to flash girth welding, resistance welding, solid-phase welding or other
one-shot welding processes, nor to longitudinal welds in pipe or fittings, to “hot-tap” welding of pipelines in service
or to the welding of process piping outside of the scope of ISO 13623.
NOTE Additional requirements may be necessary for welding of pipeline for particular pipeline operating conditions. These
can include limitations on maximum hardness or strength, minimum impact toughness values, crack tip-opening displacement,
all weld metal tensile testing or bend testing, thermal stress relief or others. Where appropriate, these additional requirements
should be added to the requirements of this International Standard in a project-specific supplement.

5 Welding procedure specification testing and approval
5.1 General
For approval of a WPS, test pieces shall be welded, inspected and tested in accordance with ISO 9956-3 and 5.3
and 5.4 of this International Standard.
A WPS shall be deemed to be approved only if all the requirements for approval specified in this International
Standard and the supplementary requirements specified by the company have been met.
An inspector accepted by the company shall witness the welding and testing of the test pieces for the approval of a
WPS.
Prior to the start of production welding, the contractor shall submit to the company for agreement either the
preliminary WPS(s) to be approved, or the WPS(s) already approved, in accordance with this International
Standard. This process may be omitted when the company has supplied the contractor with an appropriately
approved WPS.
© ISO 2000 – All rights reserved 5

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 13847:2000(E)
Test pieces should be welded using project-specific materials.
5.2 Welding procedure specification
The WPS shall incorporate the technical contents specified in ISO 9956-2, in 5.6 of this International Standard and,
when applicable, the following:
� steel grade and supply condition;
EXAMPLES Normalized, quenched and tempered, cold-formed and thermomechanically processed, normalizing formed.
� number and location of welders;
� time lapse between start of root pass and start of second (hot) pass;
� type of line-up clamp or tack welding;
� preheating procedure;
� extent of welding required before removal of line-up clamp or other line-up device;
� part of weld to be completed before joint is permitted to cool to ambient temperature;
� method for control of cooling;
� part of weld to be completed before lowering off, i.e. from side boom to pipe support, or barge move-up;
� action required for partially completed welds.
The company may require information on the method used for NDE of test welds to be documented.
Where the intended installation and/or service application of the welded pipeline involves significant plastic strain,
such as during pipe-reeling or J-tube installation, the use of documented strain-ageing data and/or supplementary
testing should be considered to demonstrate adequate evidence of strain-ageing resistance.
Weldability tests may be required to provide the necessary information for the selection of welding variables for a
WPS.
All relevant welding parameters and variables shall be specified individually in accordance with ISO 9956-2 if a
previously approved WPS is offered to the company for agreement.
NOTE For steel grades with increased susceptibility to delayed hydrogen cracking due to welding, such as with a SMYS of
555 MPa or higher, the WPS may be designed to prevent such cracking from occurring. The welding of these grades of pipe
may also require the use of low hydrogen processes, PWHT, and a delay period prior to inspection.
5.3 Welding of test piece
5.3.1 Preliminary WPS
The preparation for and welding of test pieces shall be carried out in accordance with a documented preliminary
WPS.
5.3.2 Test welding conditions
Test pieces should be welded under conditions that simulate those of the site production location (see 7.3 and 7.4).
