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,
2
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
2
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
2
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.
2
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 ISO 15156-series 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
2
NACE TM0284 test methods.
The revision of this document, i.e. ISO 15156-2,involves a consolidation of all changes agreed
and published in the Technical Circular 1, ISO 15156-2:2015/Cir.1:2017, the Technical Circular 2,
ISO 15156-2:2015/Cir.2:2018 and the Technical Circular 3, ISO 15156-2:2015/Cir.3:2019, published by
the ISO 15156 series Maintenance Agency secretariat at DIN.
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 series maintenance website: www .iso .org/ iso15156maintenance.
When found necessary by oil and gas production industry experts, future interim changes to this
document will be processed in the same way and will lead to interim updates to this document in
the form of Technical Corrigenda or Technical Circulars. Document users should be aware that such
documents can exist and can impact the validity of the dated references in this document.
The ISO 15156 series Maintenance Agency at DIN was set up after approval by the ISO Technical
Management Board given in document 34/2007. This document describes the make up of the agency,
which includes experts from NACE, EFC and ISO/TC 67, and the process for approval of amendments.
It is available from the ISO 15156 series maintenance website and from the ISO/TC 67 Secretariat. The
website also provides access to related documents that provide more detail of the ISO 15156 series
maintenance activities.

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,
2
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
2
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
2
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.
2
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 ISO 15156-series 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
2
NACE TM0284 test methods.
The revision of this document, i.e. ISO 15156-2,involves a consolidation of all changes agreed
and published in the Technical Circular 1, ISO 15156-2:2015/Cir.1:2017, the Technical Circular 2,
ISO 15156-2:2015/Cir.2:2018 and the Technical Circular 3, ISO 15156-2:2015/Cir.3:2019, published by
the ISO 15156 series Maintenance Agency secretariat at DIN.
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 series maintenance website: www .iso .org/ iso15156maintenance.
When found necessary by oil and gas production industry experts, future interim changes to this
document will be processed in the same way and will lead to interim updates to this document in
the form of Technical Corrigenda or Technical Circulars. Document users should be aware that such
documents can exist and can impact the validity of the dated references in this document.
The ISO 15156 series Maintenance Agency at DIN was set up after approval by the ISO Technical
Management Board given in document 34/2007. This document describes the make up of the agency,
which includes experts from NACE, EFC and ISO/TC 67, and the process for approval of amendments.
It is available from the ISO 15156 series maintenance website and from the ISO/TC 67 Secretariat. The
website also provides access to related documents that provide more detail of the ISO 15156 series
maintenance activities.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 15156-2:2020(E)
Petroleum and natural gas industries — Materials
for use in H S-containing environments in oil and gas
2
production —
Part 2:
Cracking-resistant carbon and low-alloy steels, and the use
of cast irons
WARNING — Carbon and low-alloy steels and cast irons selected using this document are
resistant to cracking in defined H S-containing environments in oil and gas production but
2
not necessarily immune to cracking under all service conditions. It is the equipment user's
responsibility to select the carbon and low alloy steels and cast irons suitable for the intended
service.
1 Scope
This document gives requirements and recommendations for the selection and qualification of carbon
and low-alloy steels for service in equipment used in oil and natural gas production and natural gas
treatment plants in H S-containing environments, whose failure can pose a risk to the health and safety
2
of the public and personnel or to the environment. It can be applied to help to avoid costly corrosion
damage to the equipment itself. It supplements, but does not replace, the materials requirements of the
appropriate design codes, standards or regulations.
This document addresses the resistance of these steels to damage that can be caused by sulfide stress-
cracking (SSC) and the related phenomena of stress-oriented hydrogen-induced cracking (SOHIC) and
soft-zone cracking (SZC).
This document also addresses the resistance of these steels to hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) and its
possible development into stepwise cracking (SWC).
This document is concerned only with cracking. Loss of material by general (mass loss) or localized
corrosion is not addressed.
Table 1 provides a non-exhaustive list of equipment to which this document is applicable, including
exclusions.
This document applies to the qualification and selection of materials for equipment designed and
constructed using load controlled design methods. For design utilizing strain-based design methods,
see ISO 15156-1:2020, Clause 5.
Annex A lists SSC-resistant carbon and low alloy steels, and A.2.4 includes requirements for the use of
cast irons.
This document is not necessarily suitable for application to equipment used in refining or downstream
processes and equipment.
