Petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries - Materials selection and corrosion control for oil and gas production systems (ISO 21457:2010)

This International Standard identifies the corrosion mechanisms and parameters for evaluation when performing selection of materials for pipelines, piping and equipment related to transport and processing of hydrocarbon production, including utility and injection systems. This includes all equipment from and including the well head, to and including pipelines for stabilized products. This International Standard is not applicable to downhole components. Guidance is given for the following: - corrosion evaluations; - materials selection for specific applications, or systems, or both; - performance limitations for specific materials; - corrosion control. This International Standard refers to materials that are generally available, with properties that are known and documented. It also allows other materials to be evaluated and qualified for use. This International Standard does not provide detailed material requirements or guidelines for manufacturing and testing of equipment. Such information can be found in particular product and manufacturing standards.

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.

Introduction
The provision of well-established and robust material selection guidelines offers a means of satisfying
long-term materials performance that meet the minimum requirements for a broad range of end users in the
petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries. An additional benefit can be to enable product suppliers
to develop, manufacture and provide off-the-shelf equipment that meets these requirements.
Oil and gas production projects benefit from a structured evaluation of materials used for the different fluids
being handled. Therefore, the main objective of this International Standard is to provide general requirements
with guidelines for the selection of materials for systems and components, with due consideration to the
transported fluids and the external environment.
It is the end user's responsibility to provide a project document with respect to implementation of the
requirements and guidelines of this International Standard, and to specify the design conditions for material
selection. In addition to the end user, the organization responsible for the facility or for the equipment design,
or for both, is regarded as responsible for materials selection.
This International Standard is developed to provide responsible parties with a structured process to carry out
materials selection in a consistent manner as a part of the engineering work, based upon a design basis for a
particular installation. This International Standard is intended for use by oil companies and engineering
contractors.
Users of this International Standard are advised that further or differing requirements might be needed for
individual applications. This International Standard is not intended to inhibit a vendor from offering, or the
purchaser from accepting, alternative equipment or engineering solutions for the individual application. This
can be particularly applicable where there is innovative or developing technology. Where an alternative is
offered, it is advisable that the vendor identify any variations from this International Standard and provide
details.

3 Terms, definitions and abbreviated terms
3.1 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1.1
aquifer water
water from an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials
3.1.2
carbon steel
alloy of carbon and iron containing up to 2 % mass fraction carbon and up to 1,65 % mass fraction
manganese and residual quantities of other elements, except those intentionally added in specific quantities
for deoxidation (usually silicon and/or aluminium)
NOTE Carbon steels used in the petroleum industry usually contain less than 0,8 % mass fraction carbon.
[ISO 15156-1:2009, definition 3.3]
3.1.3
corrosion-resistant alloy
alloy intended to be resistant to general and localized corrosion by oilfield environments that are corrosive to
carbon steels
NOTE This definition is in accordance with ISO 15156-1 and is intended to include materials such as stainless steel
with minimum 11,5 % (mass fraction) Cr, and nickel, cobalt and titanium base alloys. Other ISO standards can have other
definitions.
3.1.4

the liquid mixture
NOTE The fugacity factor depends on the temperature and the total pressure.
3.1.7
glass-fibre-reinforced plastic

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 21457:2012
ISO 21457:2010(E)
NOTE Cracking results from the pressurization of trap sites by hydrogen. No externally applied stress is needed for
the formation of hydrogen-induced cracks. Trap sites capable of causing HIC are commonly found in steels with high
impurity levels that have a high density of planar inclusions and/or regions of anomalous microstructure (e.g. banding)
produced by segregation of impurity and alloying elements in the steel. This form of hydrogen-induced cracking is not
related to welding.
[ISO 15156-1:2009, definition 3.12]
3.1.9
hydrogen stress cracking
HSC
cracking that results from the presence of hydrogen in a metal and tensile stress (residual and/or applied)
NOTE HSC describes cracking in metals that are not sensitive to SSC but which can be embrittled by hydrogen when
galvanically coupled, as the cathode, to another metal that is corroding actively as an anode. The term “galvanically
induced HSC” has been used for this mechanism of cracking.
[ISO 15156-1:2009, definition 3.13]
3.1.10
liquid metal embrittlement
form of cracking caused by certain liquid metals coming into contact with specific alloys
3.1.11

manufacturer
firm, company or corporation responsible for making a product in accordance with the requirements of the
order, or with the properties specified in the referenced product specification, or both
3.1.13

NOTE A marine atmosphere will extend a certain distance inland, depending on topography and prevailing wind
direction. It is heavily polluted with sea-salt aerosols (mainly chlorides).
[ISO 12944-2:1998, definition 3.7.4]
3.1.14
maximum operating temperature
maximum temperature to which a component is subjected, including during deviations from normal operations,
such as start-up/shutdown

number, developed to reflect and predict the pitting resistance of a stainless steel, based upon the proportions

PREN Cr Mo W N
where
w is the percent (mass fraction) of chromium in the alloy;

Mo
w is the percent (mass fraction) of tungsten in the alloy;
W
w is the percent (mass fraction) of nitrogen in the alloy.

stress corrosion cracking
SCC
cracking of metal involving anodic processes of localized corrosion and tensile stress (residual and/or applied)
NOTE 1 Parameters that influence the susceptibility to SCC are temperature, pH, chlorides, dissolved oxygen, H S
2
and CO .
2
NOTE 2 The above definition differs from that of the same term given in ISO 15156-1:2009, definition 3.21, since it
includes external environments.
3.1.25
sulfide stress cracking
SSC
cracking of metal involving corrosion and tensile stress (residual and/or applied) in the presence of water and
H S
2
NOTE SSC is a form of hydrogen stress cracking (HSC) and involves embrittlement of the metal by atomic hydrogen
that is produced by acid corrosion on the metal surface. Hydrogen uptake is promoted in the presence of sulfides. The
atomic hydrogen can diffuse into the metal, reduce ductility and increase susceptibility to cracking. High strength metallic
materials and hard weld zones are prone to SSC.
