28、he review and survey of hydrocarbon production facilities that are being considered for Classification and for maintenance of Classification. It is applicable to Hydrocarbon Production and Processing Systems and associated utility and safety systems located on fixed (bottom-founded) offshore structu
29、res of various types. It also applies to systems installed on floating installations such as ships shape based FPSOs, tension leg platforms, spars, semisubmersibles, etc. There are differences in the practices adopted by the designers of fixed and floating installations. Some of these differences ar
30、e due to physical limitations inherent in the construction of facilities on new or converted floating installations. Recognizing these differences, the requirements for facilities on fixed and floating installations are specified in separate chapters. Chapter 3 covers requirements for facilities on
31、floating installations and Chapter 4 covers requirements for facilities on fixed installations. Facilities designed, constructed, and installed in accordance with the requirements of these Rules on an ABS classed fixed or floating offshore structure, under ABS review and survey, will be classed and
32、identified in the Record by an appropriate classification notation as defined herein. These Rules have been written for world-wide application and as such, compliance with individual requirements may require comprehensive data, analyses and plans to be submitted to demonstrate the adequacy of the fa
33、cility. ABS acknowledges that there is a wide range of documents that may be required for submittal to satisfy these Rules. It is not the intention of these Rules to impose requirements or practices in addition to those that have previously proven satisfactory in similar situations. Design and insta
34、llation requirements presented in these Rules are based on existing methodologies and attendant safety factors that are deemed to provide an adequate level of safety. Primarily, the use of such methods and limits in these Rules reflects what is considered to be the current state of practice in the d
35、esign and installation of offshore facilities. The application of these Rules by ABS will not seek to inhibit the use of any technological approach that can be shown to produce an acceptable level of safety. These Rules are applicable to the classification of facilities for which applications, or co
36、ntracts for classification, are received on or after 1 January 2016. Changes to Conditions of Classification (1 January 2008) For the 2008 edition, Chapter 1, “Scope and Conditions of Classification” was consolidated into a generic booklet, entitled Rules for Conditions of Classification Offshore Un
37、its and Structures (Part 1) for all units, installations, vessels or systems in offshore service. The purpose of this consolidation was to emphasize the common applicability of the classification requirements in “Chapter 1” to ABS-classed offshore units, pipelines, risers, and other offshore structu
38、res, and thereby make “Conditions of Classification” more readily a common Rule of the various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate. Thus, Chapter 1 of these Rules specifies only the unique requirements applicable to facilities on offshore installations. These supplemental requirements are always to
39、 be used with the aforementioned Rules for Conditions of Classification Offshore Units and Structures (Part 1).

Ignition Temperature The minimum temperature required, at normal atmospheric pressure, to initiate the combustion of an ignitable mixture. Inert Gas A gaseous mixture, such as flue gas, containing

Insulation for Structural Steel (2017) Materials which are used to preserve the structural strength of steel when exposed to a hydrocarbon (pool) fire for a given time and maximum allowable temperature. The thickness requirements of the insulation material will be based on the following criteria: a) Maximum temperature of the steel during the time of protection, b) The duration of protection, and c) The physical arrangement of the steel; this is given as a ratio of the heated perimeter of a cross secti
