Erdöl- und Erdgasindustrie - Rohrleitungs-Transportsysteme - Auslegung, Konstruktion und Instandhaltung stahlverkleideter Rohrleitungen (ISO 16440:2016)

Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen, einschließlich des Korrosionsschutzes, hinsichtlich der Auslegung, Herstellung, Montage und Instandhaltung stahlverkleideter Rohrleitungen bei Rohrleitungstransportsystemen in der petrochemischen und Erdgasindustrie in Übereinstimmung mit ISO 13623 fest.
ANMERKUNG 1   Stahlverkleidungen können für den mechanischen Schutz von Rohrleitungen an Kreuzungen, wie zum Beispiel an Straßen und Bahnwegen, verwendet werden und die zulassende Behörde oder der Betreiber der Rohrleitungen können die Montage einer Verkleidung an einer Fernverkehrsstraße, einem Bahnweg oder einer anderen Kreuzung fordern.
ANMERKUNG 2   Dieses Dokument unterstellt weder eine verpflichtende noch eine notwendige Verwendung von Verkleidungen.
ANMERKUNG 3   Dieses Dokument unterstellt nicht, dass verkleidete Kreuzungen, ob elektrisch getrennt oder elektrisch kurzgeschlossen, zur Korrosion eines Trägerrohrs innerhalb einer verkleideten Kreuzung beitragen. Dennoch können verkleidete Kreuzungen die Intaktheit des Trägerrohrs durch das Abschirmen des Stroms des kathodischen Korrosionsschutzes (KKS) zum Trägerrohr oder durch die Verminderung der Effektivität des kathodischen Korrosionsschutzes im Nahbereich der Verkleidung nachteilig beeinflussen. Die Verwendung einer Verkleidung wird nicht empfohlen, es sein denn, sie ist unter Berücksichtigung von Belastungen, instabilen Bodenverhältnissen oder ihrer Verwendung im Rahmen einer anerkannten Ingenieurspraxis notwendig.

Industries du pétrole et du gaz naturel - Systèmes de transport par conduites - Conception, construction et maintenance de conduites en acier moulé (ISO 16440:2016)

ISO 16440:2016 spécifie les exigences relatives à la protection anti-corrosion, la conception, la fabrication, l'installation et la maintenance des conduites sous fourreau en acier destinées aux systèmes de transport par conduites des industries du pétrole et du gaz naturel conformément à l'ISO 13623.
NOTE 1    Des fourreaux en acier peuvent être utilisés pour protéger les conduites au niveau des traversées, par exemple routes et chemins de fer. L'installation de gaines sur une autoroute, un chemin de fer ou toute autre traversée peut être exigée par l'agence de validation ou l'exploitant de canalisations.
NOTE 2    ISO 16440:2016 n'entend pas prétendre que l'utilisation de gaines est obligatoire ou nécessaire.
NOTE 3    ISO 16440:2016 ne prétend pas que les traversées en gaine, qu'elles soient isolées ou court-circuitées électriquement, favorisent la corrosion d'une conduite de transport avec traversée en gaine. En revanche, les traversées en gaine peuvent affecter l'intégrité de la conduite de transport en faisant écran au courant de la protection cathodique (PC) de la conduite de transport ou en réduisant l'efficacité de la protection cathodique sur la conduite de transport à proximité de la gaine. Leur utilisation n'est pas recommandée sauf si les conditions de charge, l'instabilité du terrain ou les bonnes pratiques d'ingénierie l'exigent.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 16440:2016(E)
Petroleum and natural gas industries — Pipeline
transportation systems — Design, construction and
maintenance of steel cased pipelines
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements, including corrosion protection, for the design, fabrication,
installation and maintenance of steel-cased pipelines for pipeline transportation systems in the
petroleum and natural gas industries in accordance with ISO 13623.
NOTE 1 Steel casings can be used for mechanical protection of pipelines at crossings, such as at roads and
railways and the installation of a casing at a highway, railway, or other crossing can be required by the permitting
agency or pipeline operator.
NOTE 2 This document does not imply that utilization of casings is mandatory or necessary.
NOTE 3 This document does not imply that cased crossings, whether electrically isolated or electrically
shorted, contribute to corrosion of a carrier pipe within a cased crossing. However, cased crossings can adversely
affect the integrity of the carrier pipe by shielding cathodic protection (CP) current to the carrier pipe or reducing
the CP effectiveness on the carrier pipe in the vicinity of the casing. Their use is not recommended unless required
by load considerations, unstable soil conditions, or when their use is dictated by sound engineering practices.

SIST EN ISO 16440:2017
ISO 16440:2016(E)

A carrier pipe within a casing is not designed to be cathodically protected. It is designed to be electrically
isolated from the casing with non-conducting spacers, or isolated if the annulus of the casing is filled
with a dielectric filler material. The carrier pipe is designed to be protected with a protective coating.
Steel casings shall not be cathodically protected by the pipeline’s dedicated CP system.
4.2 Carrier pipe design
The carrier pipe shall be coated for corrosion protection. The application of an abrasion resistant
coating over the corrosion coating should be considered.
NOTE 1 See NACE/SP 0169 for details of abrasion resistant coatings.
The carrier pipe shall be supported inside the casing with isolating spacers and outside the casing to
prevent sagging. Sagging can lead to metallic contact between the casing and the carrier pipe and to
carrier pipe stresses.
NOTE 2 See NACE/SP 0286 for details of isolation techniques.
4.3 Casing design
Casing design shall be in accordance with the local, national, or industry requirements/standards.
The casing should be kept as short in length as possible to minimize the risk of electrical shorting over
time due to soil stress and pipe movement.
The casing internal diameter shall be selected based on the nominal diameter of the carrier pipe, the
thickness of any abrasion resistant coating, such as concrete, duroplastic material, or epoxy polymer
and the design of the isolators between carrier pipe and casing.
For individual carrier pipes with a nominal diameter of 200 mm (8.0 in) or greater, the outer diameter
of the casing should be a minimum of 100 mm (4.0 in) larger than that of the carrier pipe or if installing
parallel cable or conduits the casing should be a minimum of 300 mm larger than that of the carrier pipe.
For individual carrier pipes with a nominal diameter less than 200 mm (8.0 in), the diameter of the
casing should be a minimum of 50 mm (2.0 in) larger than that of the carrier pipe.
Uncoated casing should be used. Coated or non-conductive casing may be used if the casing can be
harmonized with the carrier pipe cathodic protection.
NOTE 1 The use of coated or nonconductive casing pipe is not recommended due to potential shielding
problems when cathodic protection is applied. If coated casings (either internally coated or externally coated or
both) are used, external cathodic protection will not provide protection to the carrier pipe in the event that the
annulus is filled with a conductive electrolyte.
If vent pipes are required, then they should be installed on both ends of the casing. Vent pipes should be
positioned so that they are not directly over any isolation spacer or end seal. If concrete coated pipe is used
and no isolating spacers are used, then the vent pipes should only be installed on the top of the casing.
The casing vent hole should be at least one-half the diameter of the vent pipe, with a minimum of 25 mm
(1,0 in). The vent pipe should be a minimum of 50 mm (2.0 in) in diameter.
Vent pipes shall be designed to prevent intrusion of water and debris.
Casing end seals shall be installed to prevent ingress of water, deleterious material and debris.
Vent pipes are used for venting, monitoring the casing for carrier pipe leaks, filling the casing and as
line markers.
NOTE 2 NACE/SP 0200 gives guidance for design of end seals.

ISO 16440:2016(E)

4.4 Electrical isolation
Sufficient isolators shall be designed to prevent metallic contact between the carrier pipe and the
casing, and to provide adequate support. Isolators shall be designed to minimize coating damage. The
use of metallic components in isolation spacers should be avoided.
Isolators shall be selected to ensure they have the mechanical strength required to withstand the
installation loads, considering all conditions including pipe weight, length of casing, conditions of weld
beads, deflections in the casing and other field conditions. Selection should confirm the ability of the
isolators to provide electrical isolation after installation and to position the carrier pipe properly for
end seal application/installation.
Test leads should be located (connected to the carrier pipe) on the carrier pipe at each end of the casing
to permit verification of metallic isolation. One test lead shall be required as a minimum. Test leads to be
installed in accordance with 5.3.4. Test leads to be installed after the carrier pipe is inserted in the casing.
Metallic shorts between the vent pipe, test leads and carrier pipe shall be prevented.
4.5 Corrosion protection
Consideration may be given to applying cathodic protection to the casing as required by conditions or
regulations. Cathodic protection design shall be in accordance with approved industry standards, such
as ISO 15589-1.
Consideration may be given to placing a high dielectric filler or conductive grout in the annular space or
injecting a vapour phase inhibitor. Annex A gives guidance on filling and the filling procedure.
Cathodically protected casings using the pipelines dedicated CP system may have a detrimental effect
on the carrier pipe.
AC corrosion should be considered as a possible problem when the pipeline is located in an area of AC
influence.
5 Installation
5.1 General
This Clause provides requirements for the installation of new cased pipeline crossings, casing
extensions and new casing installation on existing pipelines.
5.2 Handling and storage
The carrier pipe and casing or tunnel liner plate shall be handled and stored in a manner that minimizes
coating and pipe end damage. Lifting shall be accomplished utilizing slings, wide belts, or appropriate
end hooks. If skids are utilized to support the carrier pipe or casing, padding material shall be used to
prevent coating damage. Skids shall be removed upon completion of the installation.
5.3 New casing
5.3.1 General
Cased crossings are installed using various techniques including boring, directional drilling, tunnelling
and open cutting.
NOTE 1 Filling of the annular space between the casing and excavation is sometimes required by the
permitting agency when the borehole is unstable or fracked out.

ISO 16440:2016(E)

Welding of steel casings should be performed in accordance with the pipeline operator’s line pipe
welding specifications.
NOTE 2 ISO 13847 provides guidance on welding.
NOTE 3 Radiographic inspection of casing welds is normally not required.
Butt-weld alignment during casing fabrication shall be maintained to prevent casing, isolator, or spacer
damage during push/pull operations.
Slag and any welding debris shall be removed from inside the casing to prevent damage to the carrier
pipe, coating, isolator, or spacer.
Internal weld beads should be removed by grinding (when practical and allowed) to allow pulling or
sliding of the carrier pipe without damage to the isolators and coating.
The casing vent pipe should be installed before the carrier pipe to avoid coating damage. If the carrier
pipe is already in place when the vent hole is cut, measures shall be taken to prevent coating damage.
NOTE 4 The use of non-flammable insulating material to protect the carrier pipe coating is often required by
the pipeline operator during installation of the vent pipes to prevent coating damage to the carrier pipe.
If two vent pipes are used, the one at the lower elevation should be installed on the bottom of the casing
to facilitate possible filling of the casing at a later date. If the vent pipe is doglegged, adequate separation
and non-metallic suppo
