Description

Defines the technical requirements for safe, dimensionally and functionally interchangeable flexible pipes that are designed and manufactured to uniform standards and criteria. Minimum requirements are specified for the design, material selection, manufacture, testing, marking and packaging of flexible pipes, with reference to existing codes and standards where applicable. See API RP 17B for guidelines on the use of flexible pipes and ancillary components.

This Specification applies to unbonded flexible pipe assemblies, consisting of segments of flexible pipe body with end fittings attached to both ends. This Spec does not cover flexible pipes of bonded structure. This Spec does not apply to flexible pipe ancillary components. Guidelines for bend stiffeners and bend restrictors are given in Annex B.

This Specification does not apply to flexible pipes that include non-metallic tensile armour wires. Pipes of such construction are considered as prototype products subject to qualification testing.

The applications addressed by this document are sweet and sour service production, including export and injection applications. Production products include oil, gas, water and injection chemicals. This Specification applies to both static and dynamic flexible pipes used as flowlines, risers and jumpers. This Spec does not apply to flexible pipes for use in choke-and-kill line applications.

This edition of Sped 17J is the identical national adoption of ISO 13628-2:2006, Petroleum and natural gas industries_Design and operation of subsea production systems-Part 2: Flexible pipe systems for subsea and marine applications. This specification contains the API Monogram Annex as part of the U.S. national adoption.
