List of references

Gives advice for the construction, design, testing, installation, testing and commissioning of subsea pipelines constructed from metallic and steel reinforced polymers. Not meant to duplicate or replace hydraulic, mechanical or structural design manuals. Applies to subsea pipelines meant for the conveyance of hydrocarbon liquids, hydrocarbon and other gases, gases and liquids in two-phase flow, fluid-based slurries and water. Coverage includes quality assurance, pipeline materials, corrosion, jointing and pressure testing. Also includes annexes, tables and diagrams.
