GOST 32569-2013 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 32569-2013 — "Трубопроводы технологические стальные. Требования к устройству и эксплуатации на взрывопожароопасных и химически опасных производствах" (Steel technological/process pipelines — Requirements for design, construction and operation at explosive‑fire‑hazardous and chemically hazardous facilities). The standard sets mandatory technical and safety requirements for steel process pipelines used inside industrial sites handling hazardous gases, vapours and liquids.

Abstract

This interstate standard establishes requirements for design, materials, manufacture, testing, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of steel process pipelines at chemical, petrochemical, oil/gas and related potentially hazardous facilities. It covers pipelines with design pressures up to 320 MPa (inclusive), vacuum not below 665 Pa, and operating temperatures from −196 °C to +700 °C, and includes rules for classification, welding and non‑destructive testing, supports, insulation, protection and documentation.

Scope

Applies to steel process (technological) pipelines located within industrial sites of chemical, petrochemical, oil refining, gas processing and other related hazardous industries. The standard governs pipelines transporting gaseous, vaporous and liquid media under design pressures up to 320 MPa and vacuums not lower than 665 Pa, across a wide temperature range (−196 °C to +700 °C). It defines pipeline classification by hazard and operating parameters and sets requirements for materials selection, welding, testing (including NDT), installation, supports and corrosion protection, as well as operational procedures, inspections and maintenance to ensure safe functioning at explosive‑ and chemically‑dangerous installations.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of process pipelines by medium, pressure, temperature and hazard category.
• Materials and quality requirements for pipes, fittings and components suitable for specified temperatures and pressures.
• Design rules for layout, routing, supports, expansion compensation and restraint systems.
• Welding procedure qualifications, weld acceptance criteria and mandatory non‑destructive testing (radiographic, ultrasonic, etc.).
• Hydraulic and pneumatic testing, leak testing and commissioning procedures.
• Corrosion protection, insulation, cathodic protection and coatings for hazardous environments.
• Documentation, marking, traceability, inspection schedules and record keeping (including specific forms and annexes for weld records and quality control).
• Operational safety measures: access to valves and actuators, maintenance clearances, emergency isolation and procedures for hazardous releases.
• Requirements for repair, alteration and periodic re‑examination of pipelines in service.

Typical use and users

Used by pipeline and process engineers, mechanical designers, welding engineers, NDT specialists, integrity and maintenance teams, plant safety and regulatory compliance officers, construction contractors and certification bodies engaged in design, fabrication, installation and operation of industrial process pipelines at chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas and associated hazardous facilities.

Related standards

The standard references and interacts with a range of national and international norms governing drawing/documentation (GOST 2.104, GOST 2.601), materials (various GOSTs for steels and fittings), welding and testing standards (GOST and GOST‑R series, ISO/IEC equivalents), and industry‑specific rules (including national rules for safe operation of process pipelines). Implementation of GOST 32569‑2013 also supersedes or replaces earlier guidance (for example, the SA 03‑005‑07 recommendations) and is used alongside federal rules on industrial safety and pipeline operation.
