EEMUA 197:1999 PDF Download

EEMUA 197:1999 is a standard that provides specifications for the fabrication of non-primary structural steelwork for offshore installations. It covers a wide range of offshore structures, including floating production storage and offloading vessels (FSPOs). The standard focuses on various important aspects related to the fabrication process, such as quality assurance, safety, and environmental considerations.

The standard addresses different areas of fabrication, including structural materials and welding consumables. It provides guidelines for the qualification of welding procedures and personnel involved in the fabrication process. The standard also covers construction, preparation, and assembly techniques, as well as fabrication tolerances.

Importantly, EEMUA 197 emphasizes the need for thorough inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT) during the fabrication process. It defines acceptance criteria that must be met to ensure the structural integrity of the fabricated steelwork.
