scope:

This part of ISO 13628 provides guidelines for the design, analysis, manufacture, testing, installation and operation of flexible pipes and flexible pipe systems for onshore, subsea and marine applications. This part of ISO 13628 supplements ISO 13628-2 and ISO 13628-10, which specify minimum requirements for the design, material selection, manufacture, testing, marking and packaging of unbonded and bonded flexible pipe, respectively.

This part of ISO 13628 applies to flexible pipe assemblies, consisting of segments of flexible pipe body with end fittings attached to both ends. Both bonded and unbonded pipe types are covered. In addition, this part of ISO 13628 applies to flexible pipe systems, including ancillary components.

The applications covered by this part of ISO 13628 are sweet- and sour-service production, including export and injection applications. This part of ISO 13628 applies to both static and dynamic flexible pipe systems used as flowlines, risers and jumpers. This part of ISO 13628 does cover, in general terms, the use of flexible pipes for offshore loading systems.

NOTE Refer also to Reference [30] for offshore loading systems.

This part of ISO 13628 does not cover flexible pipes for use in choke and kill lines or umbilical and control lines.
