4 DATA SHEET INTRODUCTION

4.1 Revisions/individual sheet handling

The revision identity for individual data sheets may be lower than the standard revision.

The following revision system is applied and maintained:

· The revision status of this standard is shown in the header.
· In front of each annex a revision status is listed for each individual data sheet.

Projects may select only relevant information extract of data sheets from L-001 for a particular purpose, e.g. for purchase of mechanical packages.

4.2 Project and Installation Identification

When this standard is used for a specific project, an Operator installation identity code may be identified in the Piping Class Sheet (PCS), Service Code (SC) sheets and Valve Selection Manual (VSM) sheets only. Similarly when used for a project a project identity code is defined.

Example:

Doc.no.
L-001
Operator
xxxxx
Project
xxxxxx
 

4.3 SC - Service Code

These data sheet lists the service for which the different piping classes are intended. The identification of the data sheet is by the prefix "N-".

The services listed are general. The intention is that it should be used for selection of piping classes. The services listed are not "all inclusive" which means that the piping class can be used for other services. Having selected the piping classes for the various services for a project/installation, a detailed project service listing shall be included in clause 6 of this document when issued as a project specific spesification.

Each project shall select existing PCS's and when needed add new PCS's suitable for the service requirements. However, for standardisation purpose it is essential that new PCS's as far as possible refer to existing data sheets of this standard.

It should be noted that each project shall select PCS that are suitable for the service and meet the authority requirements or requirements stated by the owner/purchaser.

4.4 PCS - Piping Class Sheet

These sheets are the main data sheets which refer to all specifications required for the piping and valve components. The references are either to national/international standards or additional requirements defined by this standard.

The characters of the PCS number (e.g. AC11S) have the following meaning:

1st character identifies pressure rating:

A = Class 150 ASME B16.5
B = Class 300 ----"----
C = Class 400 ----"---- (not used)
D = Class 600 ----"----
E = Class 900 ----"----
F = Class 1500 ----"----
G = Class 2500 ----"----
H =   2000 psi API
I =   3000 psi API
J =   5000 psi API
K =   10000 psi API
L =   15000 psi API
P = Class 4500 ANSI B16.5
Z = PN10    
Y = PN16    

2nd character identifies material as defined in the MDS section 4.9.

3rd and 4th character identifies sequential number.

5th or 6th character (when used) identifies this character is reserved for certain application.

When used the following means:

S = Sour service
X, Y and Z = Special application
Project specific pipe classes (New and modified, see clause New piping classes.)

References to other data sheets are given in the PCS'es:

· SC - N-xxx (ref. Clause 4.3)
· EDS - Nxxxx (ref. Clause 4.5)
· VDS - xxxxxx (ref. Clause 4.7)
· VSK - Vxxx (ref. Clause 4.8)
· MDS - xxx (ref. Clause 4.9)

4.5 EDS - Element Data Sheet

These sheets cover additional requirements for design and procurement:

The characters in the EDS number (e.g. NBE1) have the following meaning:

1st character identifies N for NORSOK standard

2nd and 3rd character identifies type of standard sheet:

AF = ANSI flanges
BE = Bending (or bends)
BO = Bolting
BR = Branches
FI = Fittings
GA = Gaskets
GF = Glassfibre flanges
GZ = Galvanizing
HF = Hardfacing
IP = Internal parts
LB = Line blinds
MJ = Mechanical joints
PI = Pipes

4th character identifies sequential number.

5th character when used, is reserved for special application.

4.6 VSM - Valve Selection Manual

This is a listing of valve functions and selection criteria.

The data sheet shall be used for the valve selection in the development of P&ID's.

4.7 VDS - Valve Data Sheet

This is a data sheet for specification of valves. VDS give references to other data sheets (VSK, ESD and VDS ) to cover the full specification for the valve.

The characters in the VDS number (e.g. BLAC10R) have the following meaning:

1st and 2nd character identifies define valve type:

BL = Ball valve
BU = Butterfly valve
CB = Combination valve (several valves compined in one piece)
CH = Check valve
DM = Diaphragm valve
GB = Globe valve
GT = Gate valve
NE = Needle valve
PG = Plug valve
SV = Special valve

3rd character identifies pressure rating:

A = Class 150 ASME I B16.5
B = Class 300 ----"----
C = Class 400 ----"---- (not used)
D = Class 600 ----"----
E = Class 900 ----"----
F = Class 1500 ----"----
G = Class 2500 ----"----
H =   2000 psi API
I =   3000 psi API
J =   5000 psi API
K =   10000 psi API
L =   15000 API
P = Class 4500 ASME B16.34
R = Class 800 (Valves = <2")

4th character identifies material as defined in MDS Clause 4.9.

5th character identifies sequential number.

6th character sequential number. (A letter to be used in place of this number when deviating from NORSOK standard).

7th character identifies end connection:

         
B = Buttwelding end or pup piece with buttwelding end.
C = Clamp type end connection
D = Female threaded one end/Buttweld other end (Duo end).
E = SAE flange end
F = Flat face flange
J = RTJ end connection
K = Compact flange end. Replace K by one of the following letters when specifying a valve
    L = SPO compact flanges (IX seal ring)
    M = Graylock
    N = Vector Flange Lok
    Q = Desflex
    S = Verax
R = Raiced face flange
T = Female threaded
X = Special

4.8 VSK - Valve Specification Key

This data sheet cover additional requirements for design purchase, testing and marking of valves.

4.9 MDS - Material Data Sheets

This data sheet lists specify material properties and special requirements.

The MDS's are referenced to from the PCS and VDS. More than one material standard may be listed in the MDS. In this case the standard referenced in the column "MATERIAL NAME" in the PCS and "MATERIAL" in the VDS shall be selected.

For listed material without MDS reference, standard material shall be used.

The characters in the MDS number (e.g. C01) have the following meaning:

1st character identifies material type identity:

C - Carbon steels; Type 235, Type 235LT, Type 360LT
D - Ferritic/Austentic Stainless Steels; Type 22Cr, Type 25Cr
P - Polymers including fibre reinforced
R - Austentic Stainless Steels; Type 6Mo
S - Austentic Stainless Steels; Type 316
T - Titanium
X - High strength low alloyed steels

2nd and 3rd character identifies sequential number.
