PREFACE
PETRONAS Technical Standards (PTS) publications reflect the views, at the time of publication,of
PETRONAS OPUs/Divisions.
They are based on the experience acquired during the involvement with the design, construction,
operation and maintenance of processing units and facilities. Where appropriate they are based on, or
reference is made to, national and international standards and codes of practice.
The objective is to set the recommended standard for good technical practice to be applied by
PETRONAS' OPUs in oil and gas production facilities, refineries, gas processing plants, chemical
plants, marketing facilities or any other such facility, and thereby to achieve maximum technical and
economic benefit from standardisation.
The information set forth in these publications is provided to users for their consideration and decision
to implement. This is of particular importance where PTS may not cover every requirement or diversity
of condition at each locality. The system of PTS is expected to be sufficiently flexible to allow individual
operating units to adapt the information set forth in PTS to their own environment and requirements.
When Contractors or Manufacturers/Suppliers use PTS they shall be solely responsible for the quality
of work and the attainment of the required design and engineering standards. In particular, for those
requirements not specifically covered, it is expected of them to follow those design and engineering
practices which will achieve the same level of integrity as reflected in the PTS. If in doubt, the
Contractor or Manufacturer/Supplier shall, without detracting from his own responsibility, consult the
owner.
The right to use PTS rests with three categories of users:
1)
2)
3)
PETRONAS and its affiliates.

Other parties who are authorised to use PTS subject to appropriate contractual
arrangements.
Contractors/subcontractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers under a contract with users
referred to under 1) and 2) which requires that tenders for projects, materials supplied
or - generally - work performed on behalf of the said users comply with the relevant
standards.
Subject to any particular terms and conditions as may be set forth in specific agreements with users,
PETRONAS disclaims any liability of whatsoever nature for any damage (including injury or death)
suffered by any company or person whomsoever as a result of or in connection with the use,
application or implementation of any PTS, combination of PTS or any part thereof. The benefit of this
disclaimer shall inure in all respects to PETRONAS and/or any company affiliated to PETRONAS that
may issue PTS or require the use of PTS.
Without prejudice to any specific terms in respect of confidentiality under relevant contractual
arrangements, PTS shall not, without the prior written consent of PETRONAS, be disclosed by users
to any company or person whomsoever and the PTS shall be used exclusively for the purpose they
have been provided to the user. They shall be returned after use, including any copies which shall only
be made by users with the express prior written consent of PETRONAS.
The copyright of PTS vests in PETRONAS. Users shall arrange for PTS to be held in safe custody and
PETRONAS may at any time require information satisfactory to PETRONAS in order to ascertain how
users implement this requirement.

PART I INTRODUCTION
1.1
SCOPE
This PTS specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the manufacture and
supply of carbon and low-alloy steel linepipe. It replaces and provides an update to the
following documents:
PTS 31.40.20.30 Linepipe for use in oil & gas operations under non-sour conditions
PTS 31.40.20.31 Linepipe for use in oil & gas operations under sour conditions
th
(which were based on API 5L 40 edition)
and
PTS 31.40.20.35 Linepipe for non-critical service
PTS 31.40.20.37 Linepipe for critical service
nd
(which were based on ISO 3183-1 2 edition and ISO 3183-3:1999 respectively)
th
The new harmonised API 5L 44 edition / ISO 3183:2007 standard describes two basic
levels of standard technical requirements for linepipe, in the form of two product
specification levels (PSL 1 and PSL 2). Level PSL 2 has additional mandatory
requirements for chemical composition, tensile properties, notch toughness and nondestructive examination.
For all applications previously designated as sour or critical PSL 2 pipe should be
specified. For non-sour or non-critical applications the specification level may still be
PSL 2, although in some instances the Principal may specify PSL 1.
In addition to the two product specification levels, a number of additional requirements are
th
covered by annexes to the API 5L 44 edition / ISO 3183 document. In particular;
Annex G - Pipe with resistance to ductile fracture propagation
Annex H - Pipe ordered for sour service
Annex J - Pipe ordered for offshore service
For liquid conveying lines, Annex G is not required, but for pipe for use in dry, lean natural
gas pipelines, Annex G shall be specified. Pipelines conveying rich gas, multiphase fluid,
or lean gas at very high pressures, may have a higher Charpy impact energy requirement
than specified in Annex G, and in this case requirements shall be specified by the
Principal.
For pipe that is ordered for sour service, Annex H should be specified.
For pipe that is ordered for offshore service Annex J should be specified.
th
It should also be noted that this document is based on API 5L 44 edition (rather than ISO
3183:2007) so the national amendments described in Annex N should be regarded as
th
applicable. The amendments to API 5L 44 edition made in Errata 1 (issued in January
2009) and Addendum 1 (issued in February 2009) shall also be regarded as applicable.
However, where this PTS calls for an amendment, this shall take priority.
th
Part II of this PTS gives amendments and supplements to clauses of API 5L 44 edition,
which are considered necessary to ensure pipeline integrity in conformance with
PETRONAS Group requirements.
1.2
DISTRIBUTION, INTENDED USE AND REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS

Unless otherwise authorised by PETRONAS, the distribution of this PTS is confined to
companies forming part of PETRONAS Group or managed by a Group company, and to
Contractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers nominated by them.
Page 31 of 99
PTS 31.40.20.38
October 2011
Page 2
This PTS is intended for use in oil refineries, gas plants, chemical plants, oil and gas
production facilities, and supply/marketing installations.
If national and/or local regulations exist in which some of the requirements may be more
stringent than in this PTS, the Contractor shall determine by careful scrutiny which of the
requirements are more stringent and which combination of requirements will be acceptable
as regards safety, environmental, economic and legal aspects. In all cases the Contractor
shall inform the Principal of any deviation from the requirements of this PTS which is
considered necessary in order to comply with national and/or local regulations. The
Principal may then negotiate with the Authorities concerned with the object of obtaining
agreement to follow this PTS as closely as possible.
1.3
DEFINITIONS
1.3.1

GUIDANCE FOR USE

th
The amendments to API 5L 44 edition given in Part II are directly related to equivalent
clauses/subclauses in that document. For clarity, the clause numbering of API 5L has been
th
used as far as possible. Where clauses in API 5L 44 edition are referenced within this
th
PTS, it shall mean those clauses as amended by this PTS. Clauses in API 5L 44 edition
that are not amended by this PTS shall remain valid as written. It should also be noted that
as this document is based on API 5L (rather than ISO 3183) the national amendments
described in Annex N should be regarded as applicable. However, where this PTS calls for
an amendment, this shall take priority.
