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 Subject to development and publication of international standards, the relevant NORSOK standard will be withdrawn.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 Industry  Association (OLF), The Federation of Norwegian Industry, Norwegian Shipowners’ Association and The Petroleum Safety Authority Norway. NORSOK standards are administered and published by Standards Norway.

Introduction This NORSOK standard is based on former company specifications and experience from deliveries and operation.

Retesting and criteria for rejection

If one or more of the results fails to meet the requirements, the manufacturer may carry out double set of additional tests, preferably from the same test coupon and position. All results from retest shall meet the requirements. If retesting fails, the casting will be rejected. However the manufacturer may choose to carry out a reheat treatment once followed by full set of mechanical testing. If any results still are not acceptable, the casting or lot will be rejected.
