2、 Houston, TX 77060 USA ii ABSGUIDE FOR CLASSIFICATION OF INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT .2015 Foreword Foreword This Guide for the Classification of Industrial Systems and Equipment has been developed to provide requirements for class review and approval of industrial equipment that may be install
3、ed onboard a variety of vessels or offshore units. This Guide outlines the ABS requirements for the design, construction, installation, and survey after construction of industrial equipment installed onboard ABS classed Vessels, Steel Barges or Mobile Offshore Units (MOUs). Industrial equipment desi
4、gned, constructed, and installed in accordance with the requirements of this Guide on an ABS classed vessel or mobile offshore unit, under ABS review and survey, will be classed and identified in the Record by an appropriate classification notation as defined herein. In this edition of the Guide, 1-
5、1/5.1 and Chapter 2 focus on Pipe Laying Equipment, but the concepts in the Guide can be applied to other types of industrial equipment. The effective date of this Guide is the first day of the month of publication. The application of this Guide and referred Rules and Guides is, in general, based on
6、 the contract date for construction between the shipbuilder and the prospective Owner (e.g., Rules which became effective on 1 September 2014 are not applicable to a vessel or unit for which the contract for construction was signed on 31 August 2014). At the Owners request and upon agreement by ABS,
7、 this Guide may be applied to existing vessels or units or to those projects for which the contract date of construction has been signed before 1 August 2014. See also 1-1-4/3 of the ABS Rules for Conditions of Classification (Part 1). Users are advised to check periodically on the ABS website www.e

13、vide requirements for the design, construction, installation and survey of industrial systems and equipment onboard vessels and/or mobile offshore units classed with ABS. The requirements as specified in this Guide are additional to all other relevant requirements of ABS Rules and Guides. 3 Scope Th
14、is Guide addresses the engineering and safety aspects related to industrial systems and equipment installed onboard vessels or mobile offshore units classed with ABS other than those covered by the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Facilities on Offshore Installations. The scope of the Guide is li
15、mited to industrial systems and equipment necessary for pipe laying operations of a dedicated offshore support vessel or unit. However, the requirements of this Guide may be applied to other types of industrial equipment installed onboard vessels and/or mobile offshore units such as cable laying, pi
16、le driving, offshore construction maintenance, or anchor handling considering equivalent recognized standards where recognized standards are referenced in this Guide. The specialized offshore industrial systems and equipment may be permanent, temporary or portable. 5 Class Notations 5.1 null IE (Pip
17、e Lay) Industrial Equipment (Pipe Laying) At the request of the owner, null IE (Pipe Lay) may be assigned for industrial systems and equipment reviewed, approved and constructed under ABS Survey for installation onboard an ABS classed vessel or unit for a dedicated pipe laying service. For example,
18、a pipe laying vessel with a notation null A1 Offshore Support Vessel (Pipe Lay) may be assigned with industry equipment notation null A1 Offshore Support Vessel (Pipe Lay), null IE (Pipe Lay). A mobile offshore unit with notation null A1 Pipe Lay Service may be assigned with industry equipment notat
19、ion null A1 Pipe Lay Service, null IE (Pipe Lay). With appropriate modifications this Guide can also be used to class the industrial systems installed on ABS classed vessels used for other services such as but not limited to Cable Laying, Anchor Handling, Pile Driving, Offshore Construction, Mainten
20、ance / Utility. ABS is prepared to provide similar notations. 5.3 Equipment Built Under ABS Survey The symbol “null” (Maltese Cross) signifies that the equipment, and/or components were built, installed and commissioned to the satisfaction of the ABS Surveyor. 5.5 Equipment Not Built Under ABS Surve
21、y Equipment, and/or components that have not been built under ABS survey, but which are submitted for Classification, will be subjected to special consideration. Where found satisfactory and thereafter approved by the Committee, they may be classed and distinguished in the Record by the notation des
22、cribed above, but the symbol “null” signifying survey during construction will be omitted. Chapter 1 Scope and Conditions of Certification Section 1 General 1-1 ABSGUIDE FOR CLASSIFICATION OF INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT .2015 3 7 Approval Process The ABS classification requirements for industri
23、al systems and equipment are a four-step process as outlined below: i) Design Review of the Industrial Systems and Equipment, including installation. ii) Survey of Industrial Systems and Equipment at Vendors Shop during manufacture. iii) Survey of installation and commissioning onboard the Vessel. i
24、v) Survey after construction. The ABS review process for industrial systems and equipment commences with drawings and documentation detailing the general arrangements/assembly drawings of equipment, structural fire protection of enclosures where applicable, electrical configuration, structural desig
25、n, machinery and piping systems being submitted to the ABS Technical Office for engineering review. Upon completion of the technical review, the submitter will be notified, and the reviewed drawings and documentation will be made available to the attending ABS Surveyor. Once a vessel for the industr
26、ial equipment notation is specified, design review for installation approval can be commenced. Upon receipt of the documentation detailing the industrial systems and equipment and the proposed location onboard the vessel, the ABS technical office can review the arrangements. Once the ABS engineers h
27、ave determined that the proposed location onboard the vessel is suitable for the subject industrial systems and equipment, the proposal will be accepted and made available to the attending ABS Survey office. Upon receipt of these drawings, the ABS Surveyor will attend the vessel to confirm that the
28、installation of the industrial equipment is in accordance with the previously approved arrangements. 9 ABS Approvals ABS approval of industrial systems and equipment may be achieved through one of the following means: i) Design review, which is a review of individual materials, components, products
29、and systems for compliance with ABS Rules, Guides or other recognized standards. This includes a review of individual components, testing and approval, per applicable ABS Rules. ii) Equipment approval through the ABS Type Approval Program and a system design review in which: a) According to Rule req
30、uirements, individual equipment components have already had a design review and type testing resulting in a valid Product Design Assessment (PDA), these components may or may not need additional unit certification. b) The system for which approval is being sought is submitted to Engineering for revi
31、ew which incorporates equipment in ABS Type Approval Program and are listed in the bill of materials see 1-1-4/7.7 of the ABS Rules for Conditions of Classification (Part 1). 4 ABSGUIDE FOR CLASSIFICATION OF INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT .2015 Chapter 2: Pipe Laying Systems and Equipment CHAPTER

38、ions. 3 Definitions Carousel. Carousels are used for storage during transportation and installation of flexible pipe, umbilicals, risers and other products for offshore applications. The carousel comprises a lower flange located on a central king pin, a hub and an upper flange. The position of the u
39、pper flange is adjustable and the flange is locked in place making use of special spacer bars. Chute or Wheel. A part of the pipe laying system used for installing flexible pipelines, risers and in-line structures. Normally located on tower top. Flex-Lay. A method for installing flexible pipelines,
40、risers and in-line structures. A Flex-lay system mainly consists of a vertical ramp equipped with one or more tensioners and a chute or wheel on tower top. Gantry, Mast or “A-Frame”. A structural frame, extending above the revolving upper structure to which the boom support ropes are reeved. Hang-Of
41、f Clamps. Hang-off clamps are used to hold the pipe when it is not suspended by other means such as tensioners or traveling blocks. J-Lay. A method for installing subsea pipelines in deepwater. Pipe stalks with a length up to 6 joints are upended and welded to the seagoing pipe in a near vertical ra
42、mp. Knuckle Boom. Similar to a standard crane, except that the boom articulates at the knuckle near the middle, letting it fold back like a finger. Line-Up Systems. External line-up tools are used to align new pipe with the seagoing pipe. Overhead or Bridge Crane. Consisting of parallel runways with
43、 a traveling bridge spanning the gap and traveling hoist upon which the ropes are reeved. Pedestal Crane. A conventional boom crane mounted on a pedestal foundation with a revolving upper structure. Pipe Straighteners. Pipe needs to be straightened after it is spooled from the reel. It is bent over
44、the aligner before it is overboarded. PLET Handling System. System allows for PLET (Pipeline End Termination) handling or diameter changes when transporting the PLET from the storage position to the ramp without crane assistance. Reel. A large spool used for storing of rigid and flexible pipe, umbil
45、icals, risers and other products for offshore applications. Reel-Lay. A method for installing flexible and rigid subsea pipelines. Long pipe segments are welded, tested and coated onshore and then spooled onto a large vertical pipe reel in one continuous length. S-Lay. During the S-lay installation
46、method, onboard welded pipe joints leave the vessel horizontally and are guided off the stern by a “stinger“ (a structure on the back of the vessel that supports the seagoing pipe string to control its bend radius).

47、IFICATION OF INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT .2015 7 Spooling Device Tensioner. Tensioners are the central elements of most pipe laying systems. They are used onboard pipe laying vessels to keep tension in the pipeline while it is being lowered onto the seabed. The required type of tensioner depend
48、s on the pipe specifics as well as the configuration of the pipe laying system. Tensioner. Tensioners are the central elements of most pipe laying systems. They are used onboard pipe laying vessels to keep tension in the pipeline while it is being lowered onto the seabed. The tensioner is often prov
49、ided with a sophisticated electric or hydraulic system, by which the tension in the pipe can be controlled even when the vessel is subject to motions. Typical pipe lay tensioners monitor the outboard pipe tension and paid out length as part of the lay process, with feedback going to the lay speed setting or vessel DP system. 5 Design of Pipe Laying Systems and Equipment 5.1 General The designer is to evaluate pipe laying systems and equipment as a whole, considering the interfacing and interdependence of subsystems.
