Petroleum and natural gas industries - Pipeline transportation systems (ISO 13623:2009 modified)
This International Standard specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, materials, construction, testing, operation, maintenance and abandonment of pipeline systems used for transportation in the petroleum and natural gas industries.
It applies to pipeline systems on land and offshore, connecting wells, production plants, process plants, refineries and storage facilities, including any section of a pipeline constructed within the boundaries of such facilities for the purpose of its connection. The extent of pipeline systems covered by this International Standard is illustrated in Figure 1.
This International Standard applies to rigid, metallic pipelines. It is not applicable for flexible pipelines or those constructed from other materials, such as glass-reinforced plastics.
This International Standard is applicable to all new pipeline systems and can be applied to modifications made to existing ones. It is not intended that it apply retroactively to existing pipeline systems.
It describes the functional requirements of pipeline systems and provides a basis for their safe design, construction, testing, operation, maintenance and abandonment.
On-land supply systems used by the gas supply industry excluding gas infrastructure from the input of gas into the on-shore transmission network up to the inlet connection of gas appliances are excluded from the scope of this standard.

Standardisation of the materials, equipment and offshore structures used in the drilling, production, transport by pipelines and processing of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons within the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, excluding on-land supply systems used by the gas supply industry excluding gas infrastructure from the input of gas into the on-shore transmission network up to the inlet connection of gas appliances. (covered by CEN/TC234) and those aspects of offshore structures covered by IMO requirements (ISO/TC8). The standardisation is to be achieved wherever possible by the adoption of ISO standards. Resulting from these resolutions, "on-land supply systems used by the gas supply industry excluding gas infrastructure from the input of gas into the on-shore transmission network up to the inlet connection of gas appliances " has been excluded from the scope of ISO 13623:2009 for the European adoption by CEN/TC 12.

Gases or liquids not specifically included by name should be classified in the category containing fluids most closely similar in hazard potential to those quoted. If the category is not clear, the more hazardous category shall be assumed. 5.3 Hydraulic analysis The hydraulics of the pipeline system should be analysed to demonstrate that the system can safely transport the fluids for the design conditions specified in 5.1, and to identify and determine the constraints and requirements for its operation. This analysis should cover steady-state and transient operating conditions. NOTE Examples of constraints and operational requirements are allowances for pressure surges, prevention of blockage such as caused by the formation of hydrates and wax deposition, measures to prevent unacceptable pressure losses from higher viscosities at lower operating temperatures, measures for the control of liquid slug volumes in multi-phase fluid transport, flow regime for internal corrosion control, erosional velocities and avoidance of slack line operations. 5.4 Pressure control and overpressure protection Provisions such as pressure-control valves or automatic shutdown of pressurizing equipment shall be installed, or procedures implemented, if the operating pressure can exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure anywhere in the pipeline system. Such provisions or procedures shall prevent the operating pressure from exceeding MAOP under normal steady-state conditions. Overpressure protection, such as relief or source-isolation valves, shall be provided if necessary to prevent incidental pressures exceeding the limits specified in 6.3.2.2 anywhere in the pipeline system. 5.5 Requirements for operation and maintenance The requirements for the operation and maintenance of the pipeline system shall be established and documented for use in the design and the preparation of procedures for operations and maintenance. Aspects for which requirements should be specified include: requirements for identification of pipelines, stations and fluids transported; principles for system control, including consideration of manning levels and instrumentation; location and hierarchy of control centres; voice and data communications; corrosion management; SIST EN 14161:2011
