22、AND CLASSING FACILITIES ON OFFSHORE INSTALLATIONS .2018 iii Foreword Foreword These Rules contain the technical requirements and criteria employed by ABS in the review and survey of hydrocarbon production facilities that are being considered for Classification and for maintenance of Classification.
23、It is applicable to Hydrocarbon Production and Processing Systems and associated utility and safety systems located on fixed (bottom-founded) offshore structures of various types. It also applies to systems installed on floating installations such as ships shape based FPSOs, tension leg platforms, s
24、pars, semisubmersibles, etc. There are differences in the practices adopted by the designers of fixed and floating installations. Some of these differences are due to physical limitations inherent in the construction of facilities on new or converted floating installations. Recognizing these differe
25、nces, the requirements for facilities on fixed and floating installations are specified in separate chapters. Chapter 3 covers requirements for facilities on floating installations and Chapter 4 covers requirements for facilities on fixed installations. Facilities designed, constructed, and installe
26、d 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 identified in the Record by an appropriate classification notation as defined herein. These Rules have been written for world-wide application
27、 and as such, compliance with individual requirements may require comprehensive data, analyses and plans to be submitted to demonstrate the adequacy of the facility. ABS acknowledges that there is a wide range of documents that may be required for submittal to satisfy these Rules. It is not the inte
28、ntion of these Rules to impose requirements or practices in addition to those that have previously proven satisfactory in similar situations. Design and installation requirements presented in these Rules are based on existing methodologies and attendant safety factors that are deemed to provide an a
29、dequate 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 design and installation of offshore facilities. The application of these Rules by ABS will not seek to inhibit the use of any technological app
30、roach that can be shown to produce an acceptable level of safety. These Rules are applicable to the classification of facilities for which applications, or contracts for classification, are received on or after 1 January 2018. Changes to Conditions of Classification (1 January 2008) For the 2008 edi
31、tion, Chapter 1, “Scope and Conditions of Classification” was consolidated into a generic booklet, entitled Rules for Conditions of Classification Offshore Units and Structures (Part 1) for all units, installations, vessels or systems in offshore service. The purpose of this consolidation was to emp
32、hasize the common applicability of the classification requirements in “Chapter 1” to ABS-classed offshore units, pipelines, risers, and other offshore structures, and thereby make “Conditions of Classification” more readily a common Rule of the various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate. Thus, Cha
33、pter 1 of these Rules specifies only the unique requirements applicable to facilities on offshore installations. These supplemental requirements are always to be used with the aforementioned Rules for Conditions of Classification Offshore Units and Structures (Part 1). iv ABSRULES FOR BUILDING AND C

38、logic. Hydrocarbon Organic compounds of hydrogen and carbon, whose densities, boiling points, and freezing points increase as their molecular weights increase. Although composed of only two elements. Hydrocarbons exist in a variety of compounds because of the strong affinity of the carbon atom for o
39、ther atoms and for itself. The smallest molecules of hydrocarbons are gaseous; the largest are solids. Petroleum is a mixture of many different hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon Fire Test for H Rated Divisions (2017) A test in which specimens of the relevant bulkheads or decks are exposed, in a test furnace
40、, to temperatures corresponding to the hydrocarbon fire time-temperature curve as defined by the U.K. Department of Energy/Norwegian Petroleum Directorate Interim Hydrocarbon Fire Resistance Test for Elements of Construction for Offshore Installations. The testing set up is to follow the arrangement
41、s as given in the FTP Code, Annex 1, Part 3. Penetration through H rated divisions are to be tested in accordance with the above listed standards. Hydrocarbon Fire Test for Insulation for Structural Steel (2017) A test in which specimens of steel structural elements are exposed to flame immersion, i
42、n a test furnace, in accordance with ISO TR 834-3 using the hydrocarbon time temperature curve as defined by the U.K. Department of Energy/Norwegian Petroleum Directorate Interim Hydrocarbon Fire Resistance Test for Elements of Construction for Offshore Installations. Ignition Temperature The minimu
43、m temperature required, at normal atmospheric pressure, to initiate the combustion of an ignitable mixture. Inert Gas A gaseous mixture, such as flue gas, containing insufficient oxygen to support the combustion of hydrocarbons. Insulation for Structural Steel (2017) Materials which are used to pres
44、erve 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
45、 duration of protection, and c) The physical arrangement of the steel; this is given as a ratio of the heated perimeter of a cross section of the structural element (beam or hollow section) over the area of the cross section of the structural element (Hp/A ratio). The rating of the insulation is to
46、be given as follows: HC / Structural Steel / “critical temperature” (degrees centigrade) / “period of resistance” (minutes). For example: HC / Structural Steel / 400 / 60 means that structural steel would be no more than a 400C temperature rise in 60 minutes when exposed to a hydrocarbon (pool) fire
47、. Interim Class Certificate A temporary representation to classification. The Interim Class Certificate is generally issued by the Surveyor attending commissioning of the facility and verification of compliance with these Rules. Issuance of an Interim Class Certificate is subject to the terms and co
48、nditions found therein. Jet Fire (2017) A fire resulting from the combustion of a flammable fluid continuously released under pressure with some significant momentum in a particular direction or directions. The flammable fluid (fuel) can be one phase (gaseous or liquid) or two phase (both gaseous an
49、d liquid). This type of fire is usually fueled by hydrocarbons; however, any flammable fluid can produce a jet fire.
