FOREWORD
PETRONAS Technical Standards (PTS) has been developed based on the accumulated knowledge,
experience and best practices of the PETRONAS group supplementing National and International
standards where appropriate. The key objective of PTS is to ensure standard technical practice across
the PETRONAS group.
Compliance to PTS is compulsory for PETRONAS-operated facilities and Joint Ventures (JVs) where
PETRONAS has more than fifty percent (50%) shareholding and/or operational control, and includes all
phases of work activities.
Contractors/manufacturers/suppliers who use PTS are solely responsible in ensuring the quality of work,
goods and services meet the required design and engineering standards. In the case where specific
requirements are not covered in the PTS, it is the responsibility of the
Contractors/manufacturers/suppliers to propose other proven or internationally established standards
or practices of the same level of quality and integrity as reflected in the PTS.
In issuing and making the PTS available, PETRONAS is not making any warranty on the accuracy or
completeness of the information contained in PTS. The Contractors/manufacturers/suppliers. shall
censure accuracy and completeness of the PTS used for the intended design and engineering requirement
and shall inform the Owner for any conflicting requirement with other international codes and technical
standards before start of any work,
PETRONAS is the sole copyright holder of PTS. No part of this document may be reproduced, stored in a
retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means (electronic, mechanical, recording or
otherwise) or be disclosed by users to any company or person whomsoever, without the prior written
consent of PETRONAS.

in safe custody and shall ensure its secrecy is maintained and provide satisfactory information to
PETRONAS that this requirement is met.©

ANNOUNCEMENT
Please be informed that the entire PTS inventory is currently undergoing transformation exercise from
2013 - 2015 which includes revision to numbering system, format and content. As part of this change,
the PTS numbering system has been revised to 6-digit numbers and drawings, forms and requisition to
7-digit numbers. All newly revised PTS will adopt this new numbering system, and where required make
reference to other PTS in its revised numbering to ensure consistency. Users are requested to refer to
PTS 00.01.01 (Index to PTS) for mapping between old and revised PTS numbers for clarity. For further

2.0 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
The CP system shall ensure that the electrochemical potential of subsea steel surfaces are
‘maintained within a range of -0.800 to -1.000 volts versus Ag/AgCl/seawater which will prevent
corrosion and material damage. The CP current shall be supplied from a distributed sacrificial
anode system.
The CP system shall be designed for the full design life of the structure as a minimum, Prolonged
field life may require extended structure life and should be given due consideration in CP design.
ICCP systems shall not be used for new fixed offshore steel structures. However, ICCP system
may be considered if the following conditions are met;
i, An offshore structure is required to operate beyond its original design life, and
li, The sacrificial anodes are depleted.
In most cases, subsea corrosion of offshore structures is controlled solely by SACP. However, the
use of SACP alone may not be effective when very high current demand or anode weights is
required due to extreme seawater condition. Other corrosion protection methods e.g. protective
coating should be considered to supplement the SACP system when such condition exist6

APPENDIX 1: ELECTROCHEMICAL TEST PROCEDURES FOR SACRIFICIAL ANODES.
‘AL INTRODUCTION
The requirements for POT of anodes are provided in this appendix which shall be performed
before any anodes can be approved for application. Quality control during production of
sacrificial anodes are provided in Annex B of the DNV RP 401.
‘The objective of the PAT is to ascertain the compliance of the anode material's electrochemical
‘capacity and closed circuit potential with the design data submitted by the Manufacturer.
‘The PAT shall be carried out by an independent test laboratory approved by Owner. Each test
shall be carried out on two samples from different heat. The final product inspection of the
‘samples shall be witnessed by Owner or appointed representative. Results of both samples shall
be acceptable for the material to be qualified.
‘The test samples shall be sectioned and examined for internal defects in accordance with ISO
15589-2 Owner may require RT to verify internal anode soundness and positioning of the anode
A written test procedure shall be produced and approved by Owner. The procedure shall
described the specific test set-up, method of making the required measurements, and sample
cleaning methods,
‘2, ANODE DESIGN DATA
The anode manufacturer shall submit the following data
+ the name of the manufacturer, the type and/or trade name of the anode material
# the specification of the anode material;
+ the anode material's nominal chemical composition ranges;
+ afull chemical analysis ofthe test samples;
+ the manufacturing date and heat number ofthe test samples;
+ the anode material's nominal free corroding potential in mV versus SCE or Ag/AgC!;
the anode material's maximum and minimum design current density in mA/cm?;
+ the anode material's nominal design current capacity in Ah/k.
3, TEST ENVIRONMENT
The tests shall be performed using artificial seawater in accordance with ASTM D 1141
Sufficient volume of seawater shall be made available to avoid contamination with corrosion
products produced during the test and to avoid changes in concentration due to evaporation.‘AG, TEST TEMPERATURE
‘The test temperature shall be determined as follows;
‘Type of Seawater Test Temperature
Cold (Minimum
temperature of < 5°C)
sc
Other seawater conditions 20°C
Table Al: Seawater Test Temperature
‘The test solution temperature shall be thermostatically controlled.
‘AS. SAMPLE IDENTIFICATION
A unique identification shall be provided for each sample with code e.g, by engraving on each
sample.
AG. CLOSED CIRCUIT POTENTIAL TESTS.
The closed circuit potential tests shall be performed in accordance with ISO 15589-2 Annex € or
NACE TMo190.
The closed circuit potential criteria in accordance with Table 8 of !SO 15589-2 shall be met.
Where testing is performed following the methods specified in NACE TMO190, the “2nd through
last” criteria set forth in table A2 shall be met. The remaining criteria shall apply for tests at 5°C
Period (Days) Potential Criteria
2nd through last | Mean value of readings equal to or more negative
than -1070 mv”
3rd through last | Daily average equal to or more negative than ~1030
