ISO/TC 67/SC 2/WG 19 - Joint ISO/TC 67/SC 2 - ISO/TC 67/SC 4 WG: Wet thermal insulation coatings

This document specifies requirements for project specific product and process qualification of wet thermal insulation systems applied to pipelines in a factory setting and subsea equipment in the oil and gas industries. This document is not applicable to: — pre-fabricated insulation; — thermal insulation in the annulus of a steel pipe-in-pipe system; — maintenance works on existing installed wet thermal insulation systems; — project qualification of anticorrosion coatings or the requirements for application thereof.

This document specifies requirements for the validation of wet thermal insulation systems applied to pipelines and subsea equipment in the oil and gas industry. This document is applicable to wet thermal insulation systems submerged in seawater. This document is not applicable to: — maintenance works on existing installed wet thermal insulation systems; — qualification for anti-corrosion coating; — thermal insulation in the annulus of a steel pipe-in-pipe system.

This document specifies requirements for project specific product and process qualification of field applied wet thermal insulation systems applied at interfaces (e.g. field joints) and pre-fabricated insulation in the petroleum and natural gas industries. This document is applicable to wet thermal insulation systems submerged in seawater. This document is not applicable to: — the project qualification of anticorrosion coatings or the requirements for application thereof; — thermal insulation in the annulus of a steel pipe-in-pipe system.

ISO 12736:2014 defines the minimum requirements for qualification, application, testing, handling, storage and transportation of new and existing wet thermal insulation systems for pipelines, flowlines, equipment and subsea structures in the petroleum and natural gas industries. The purpose of these systems is to provide external corrosion protection and thermal insulation. ISO 12736:2014 is applicable to wet thermal insulation systems submerged in seawater. ISO 12736:2014 is not applicable to thermal insulation in the annulus of a steel pipe-in-pipe system.
