Special purpose couplings specification launched for review
JIP33 has issued “S-700 special purpose couplings” for public review. The consultation period runs for four weeks and will close on October 30th.
The purpose of this specification is to define a minimum common set of specification requirements for the procurement of Special Purpose Couplings in accordance with API 671 4th Ed. 2010 – Special Purpose Couplings for Petroleum, Chemical and Gas Industry Services and co-publication (an identical adoption of ISO 10441 2nd Ed. 2007 – Petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries – Flexible couplings for mechanical power transmission – Special-purpose applications) for application in the petroleum and natural gas industries.
The procurement specification follows a common document structure comprising four documents, which together with the purchase order define the overall technical specification for procurement.
It has been developed in consultation with a broad user and supplier base to realize benefits from standardization and achieve significant project and schedule cost reductions.
The files are available to download at https://www.iogp-jip33.org/library/s-700/.
Updates and future specifications will be announced via the project’s mailing list and Twitter profile.
