Foreword
The NORSOK standards are developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry to ensure adequate safety,
value adding and cost effectiveness for petroleum industry developments and operations. Furthermore,
NORSOK standards are, as far as possible, intended to replace oil company specifications and serve as
references in the authorities’ regulations.
The NORSOK standards are normally based on recognised international standards, adding the provisions
deemed necessary to fill the broad needs of the Norwegian petroleum industry. Where relevant, NORSOK
standards will be used to provide the Norwegian industry input to the international standardisation process.
Subject to development and publication of international standards, the relevant NORSOK standard will be
withdrawn.
The NORSOK standards are developed according to the consensus principle generally applicable for most
standards work and according to established procedures defined in NORSOK A-001.
The NORSOK standards are prepared and published with support by The Norwegian Oil and Gas Association,
The Federation of Norwegian Industry, Norwegian Shipowners’ Association and The Petroleum Safety
Authority Norway.
NORSOK standards are administered and published by Standards Norway.

Materials/components manufactured in accordance with previous editions of this NORSOK standard may be
accepted. This shall be agreed with the actual project/company.
The material selection menu for product standards and material grades relevant for the piping systems is
shown in Table 1. The actual material grades to be used with respect to piping design shall be stated on the
piping class sheet in the respective project piping and valve specification.
The materials shall be delivered in accordance with the standard referred to in the MDS’. In addition the
MDS’ specify the selected options in the referred standard and additional requirements which shall be
added or supersede the corresponding requirements in the referred standard. Provided the MDS’ does not
specify any additional requirements all the requirements of the referred standard apply. The latest issue of
the referred standard shall apply unless a specific year of issue is specified by the purchaser.
The actual types of materials covered are as follows:
C - Carbon steels: Type 235, Type 235LT, Type 360LT
D - Ferritic/austenitic stainless steels: Type 22Cr, Type 25Cr
K - Copper/nickel 90/10 and other copper alloys

NOTE Welded products according to MDS C11, MDS D42, MDS D43, MDS D52, MDS D53, MDS N01, MDS R12, MDS R13, MDS
R22, MDS R23, MDS S01 and MDS T01 have acceptance classes, which give welding factors 0,8 or 1,0. The correct class is
specified on the piping class sheet. The purchase order shall specify acceptable class for each item.
- approval of welders and welding procedures by a 3rd party organization recognized by an EC member
state;
- approval of NDT operators by a 3rd party organization recognized by an EC member state.
- certification of specific product control;
- the material manufacturer shall have an appropriate quality-assurance system, certified by a competent
body established within the Community and having undergone a specific assessment for materials.
All the above requirements are included in the collected MDS’ covering iron based alloys, i.e. C-, D-, S-, R-
and X-series, except for the following:
- carbon steels specified at MDS C01 and MDS C02 do not include impact test requirements;
- the requirement for 3rd party organization approval of welders and welding procedures and approval of
NDT operators is not included;
- the requirement for a quality-assurance system certified by a body established within the Community is
not included.
Polymer products specified by the MDS’ in the P-series are not classified as pressure bearing parts, except
for PE-pipe covered by MDS P41. Pipes to MDS P41 are only intended used for civil piping systems
designed to sound engineering practise within category 0.
For installation projects to the PED requirements the above listed exceptions to the PED requirements
should be considered, and added to the collected MDS’ as found necessary in agreement with the selected
notified body when applicable.
Austenitic stainless steels and nickel base alloys MDS N-, R- and S-series
- The MDS’ specify all components to be manufactured and certified in solution heat treated condition
except for welded pipes in Type 6Mo with wall thickness less than 7,11 mm, which are to be made from
solution annealed plates and delivered in welded condition.
- No hardness measurement is specified since all components are specified to be certified in solution
annealed condition.
- NORSOK have of practical reasons limited the thickness for requiring impact testing to 6 mm;
- if sub-size Charpy V-notch impact test specimens are used the test temperature is not reduced;
- eddy current examination is accepted as replacement for spot radiography of longitudinal welds in
stainless steel pipes for wall thickness less than 4,0 mm;
- thin walled (thickness up to 7,11 mm) longitudinal welded pipes in Type 6Mo is accepted in as welded
condition provided the plate material used is solution annealed.
In general, the MDS’ have supplementary requirement beyond the ASTM standard to ensure a safe use of
the material grades.
The test requirements and acceptance criteria for the microstructure examination are therefore modified to
read as follows:
“The specimen shall be polished and etched in 20 % NaOH electrolyte or another etchant qualified by
the M-650 qualification program.
The microstructure shall be examined and shall be free from detrimental intermetallic phases and
precipitations at 400 to 500 X magnification. Any presence of intermetallic phases and/or precipitates
shall be reported.
In case intermetallic phases and/or precipitations are detected the acceptance of product shall be
based upon the corrosion and Charpy V-notch test results.“
The current approach is therefore that the microstructure shall be free from detrimental intermetallic phases
at 400 or 500X magnification (200 X for castings), but if present the acceptance the products represented
shall be based upon the corrosion and Charpy V-notch test results. The findings from the microstructure
examination will in those cases become informative.
As a consequence of this change in quality control testing corrosion test in accordance with ASTM G48 is
introduced as new test to type 22Cr duplex, ref. MDS’ D41 to D48. The test temperature is specified to be
25°C and the test conditions the same as for type 25Cr duplex.

tungsten inert gas) or LBW/EBW (laser/electro beam welding).
5. HEAT TREATMENT
Heat treatment after hardfacing shall be carried out, as necessary, to meet specified properties.
Components to be exposed to H2S containing environment shall be heat treated as required in ISO 15156.
1. SCOPE
This document specifies requirements to build-up hardfacing coating by thermal spraying of tungsten
carbide on components for use within pressure containing equipment.
2. PROCESS

of powder or on changing grade of powder. The test shall be similar to a procedure qualification test, but on
a plate less in size and the applicable testing shall consist of hardness and porosity test, ref. clause 3,3 and
3.4 above.
1. SCOPE
This EDS specifies requirements to carbon and low alloyed steels that need to be overlay welded to obtain
the required corrosion resistance.
2. WELDING
Overlay welding shall be made by process 51 (electro beam), 52 (laser beam), 72 (electro slag), 131 (MIG),
141 (TIG) welding processes.
The process 72 is not acceptable for overlay welding of sealing surfaces.

Deposit thickness shall be measured at minimum three locations for each component or as agreed. For
components with complicated geometry the manufacturer shall establish a procedure for this purpose.
4. HEAT TREATMENT
Heat treatment after overlay welding shall be carried out, as necessary, to meet specified properties. Items
designed for sour service shall be heat treated as required in the ISO 15156.
1. SCOPE
This document specifies requirements to solid tungsten carbide for use within pressure containing
equipment such as valves. Examples of components are production choke trim as cage, sleeve or plug.
NOTE: Other designations used instead of tungsten carbide materials are cermets, hard metals, TC, WC or cemented carbide. The
tungsten carbide materials consist of tungsten carbide grains sintered together in a metallic matrix (binder), and combine a high
hardness level with fair fracture toughness. Their properties are influenced by a number of factors:
- Type of binder (alloy content)
- Amount of binder
- Carbide grain size
- Fabrication method (sintering / sintering and subsequent HIP/ sinterHIP).
Tungsten carbide materials are especially suitable for severe erosive service, with high sand concentrations and high flow velocity, e.g.
choke trim components.
a) The amount of binder in the cemented tungsten carbide (WC) shall be in the range of 5 – 7 %.
b) The binder shall be of Co or Ni base. Co base materials shall be alloyed with Cr and Ni or Cr, Ni and
Mo to be corrosion resistant in well stream service. Ni base materials shall be alloyed with Cr or Cr
and Mo.
c) The WC-grain size shall be of type F (fine grained) according to ISO 4499/ASTM B 390.
d) The material shall be produced by sintering with a subsequent hot isostatic pressing (HIP) or produced
by a combined sinter/HIP process.
e) The minimum hardness shall be 1900 Hv30, measured by the Vickers method. (ISO 3878 and
ISO 6507)
f) The fracture toughness shall be minimum K1c = 9,5 MPa/m measured by the Palmqvist (Vickers
indentation – crack length) method at high magnification (minimum 500 X).
g) The transversal rupture strength shall be sufficient for the design and design pressure and for bi-
directional flow
h) NDT – fluorescent dye penetrant testing – shall be performed on each component to confirm that the
material is free from surface cracks.
i) The tungsten carbide grade shall be erosion tested according to ASTM G 76 and subject to evaluation
by Purchaser.
j) Depending on results of the above additional qualification and testing might be required.
Tungsten carbide materials not satisfying these requirements may be accepted for less severe applications
after evaluation of erosion and corrosion potential, the hardness level of the material and the fracture
toughness. The testing and acceptance criteria shall be agreed between the involved parties.
Pure Co binder tungsten carbide grades shall not to be used during multiphase duty (corrosive environment
i.e. fluid containing water), due to the poor corrosion resistance of the Co binder.
The material requirements shall also apply for solid tungsten carbide materials to be used in raw seawater
injection. However, the grade composition should be evaluated in each case due to the corrosivity of the
oxygen rich seawater. System temperature shall also be taken into consideration.
3. MANUFACTURING PROCEDURE
The manufacturer shall establish detailed manufacturing procedure to ensure that the above requirements
are fulfilled. The manufacturing procedures shall include tolerances on all essential variables.
4. CERAMIC MATERIALS
Ceramic materials might also be used provided documentation of satisfactory properties in line with the
criteria stated for solid tungsten carbide. The ceramic material shall be subject to acceptance by Purchaser.

Notes:
1. Alternatively, low steels with another chemistry may be applied. Minimum tensile strength requirement is specified by NORSOK L-
005.
2. Alternative material to Alloy 630 is type 22/25Cr duplex or nickel base alloy such as Alloy 718.
º º
3. Seal rings in type 22/25Cr duplex and Alloy 630 are only applicable for design temperature equal to or above -46 °C and -101 °C,
respectively.
4. Alternatively, high alloyed Nickel base alloys may be used, e.g. Alloy 625 and Alloy 725.
5. Seal ring for flanges/hubs in Type 22/25Cr duplex and 6Mo in service where traces of oxygen may be present, e.g. produced
water, jetting water, injection water etc. must be galvanic compatible with flange material. Type 6Mo should be used.
Selection of the ring material shall address the desired level of corrosion resistance, as well as any
environmental limits imposed by ISO 15156 (all parts), if applicable.
The seal ring in the ASME/API RTJ and mechanical joints are exposed to both the internal and external
environment and shall therefore have the same or better corrosion resistance than the flange/hub material
to both these environments.
The seal ring in a compact flange design may not be directly exposed to the internal or the external
environment under normal operation, however, all seal rings shall have the same or better corrosion
resistance than the flange/hub material to both these environments.
For connections to be installed subsea, the seal ring shall be corrosion resistant to ambient seawater and
with PREN = % Cr + 3,3 % Mo + 16 % N 40, e.g. type 25Cr duplex and Alloy 625 or 725.
