API STD 17G

Description

This standard defines a minimum set of requirements for performance, design, materials, testing and inspection, hot forming, welding, marking, handling, storing, and shipping of new build subsea well intervention equipment [through-BOP intervention riser system (TBIRS) and open-water intervention riser system (OWIRS)] as defined herein. The requirements in this standard apply to equipment whose rated working pressure (RWP) is less than or equal to 103.4 MPa (15,000 psi) or whose rated temperature is less than or equal to 177 °C (350 °F). Equipment ratings that exceed these limits are covered by this document and API 17TR8. For equipment whose ratings exceed the RWP of 103.4 MPa (15,000 psi) or the rated temperature of 177 °C (350 °F), API 17TR8 will take precedence in the event of conflicting requirements with this document. The standard covers equipment that is connected to a fluid conduit tieback riser, either inside the marine riser (TBIRS) or open water (OWIRS). Intervention equipm
