    AND EQUIPMENT INTEGRITY

    New crudes coming: – Heavier crudes• Tendency for higher pressure and temperature

     – More acid crudes• Increase corrosion

     – More crudes coming from the sea

    • More difficulty to remove Clorides

     – More crudes with high sulphur content

    • Increase corrosion and H2S production

    Petrobras needs to produce fuels with:

     – 50ppm of Sulfur until 2010.

     – 10ppm of Sulfur till 2014.

    • For this it will be necessary to increase temperature and

    pressure.• With limit in temperature because of the process.

    21/47

    HIGHLIGHTS FROM N 1704

    Because of difficulties to update the NI-1704,it was decided to use for Cr-Mo and Cr-Mo-Vsteels the I-ET-5000.00-0000-500-PPC-

    001 “Additional Requirements for CrMo andCrMoV Low Alloy Steels”.

    However, all content of NI-1704 that is notcovered by I-ET-5000.00-0000-500-PPC-001, is still valid.

    Nevertheless, for Carbon Steel in HydrogenService, all content of NI-1704 is valid.

    PRODUCTION TESTS

    – All production weld coupons shall be cut inthree parts:

    • the first part shall receive a simulated heat

    treatment corresponding to the maximum SFPWHTcondition and shall be tested before finalassembling of shell courses and heads.

    • the second part shall follow the component ofwhich it is representative during all heat treatmentstages, and undergo the FPWHT with thecompleted equipment or of equipment section. Alltesting results shall be submitted for PETROBRASbefore shipment of the equipment.

    • the third part, shall be identical to the second part,and shall be sent to PETROBRAS together with theequipment. Manufacturer will not perform testswith this third part of test coupon.

    RETEST OF WELD PRODUCTION TESTS (under discussion)

    – Impact tests• When the requirements of impact tests are not met due to:

    – Average value below limit without any individual specimen value failure, oneretest, constituted by two sets of three samples each, may be performed;

    – One individual specimen with value below the minimum individual value, oneretest, constituted by two sets of three samples each, may be performed;

    – Two specimens with value below the minimum individual value, one retest,constituted by three sets of three samples each, may be performed

    – Three specimens with value below the minimum individual value, retests arenot acceptable.

    • On retesting, each individual value of the new specimens shall equal orexceed the minimum specified average value. Retest specimens shall beremoved from the original test coupons. Only one retest may beperformed (Retest of the retest is not acceptable).

    – Tension Test• When the requirements of tension tests are not met, one retest,

    constituted by two sets of two samples, may be performed. Retestspecimens shall be removed from the original test coupons. Only oneretest may be performed (Retest of the retest is not acceptable).
