Splash Zone Upper Limit (USZ) is determined by: USZ U1 U2 U3 = = = = |U1| + |U2| + |U3| highest astronomic tide level (HAT) 70% of the splash zone wave-related height defined in 334 settlement or downward motion of the riser, if applicable

339 Splash zone wave-related height: The wave height with a probability of being exceeded equal to 10-2, as determined from the long term distribution of individual waves. If this value is not available, an approximate value of the splash zone height may be taken as: 0.46 Hs100 Where Hs100 = significant wave height with a 100 year return period 340 Spool: A pipe section which is used to connect a pipeline to another subsea structure (e.g. manifold, PLET, tee) or riser. 341 Submarine Pipeline: A submarine pipeline is defined as the part of a submarine pipeline system which, except for pipeline risers is located below the water surface at maximum tide. The pipeline may, be resting wholly or intermittently on, or buried below, the seabed. 342 Submarine Pipeline System: a submarine pipeline system extends to the first weld beyond: the first valve, flange or connection above water on platform or floater the connection point to the subsea installation (i.e. piping manifolds are not included) the first valve, flange, connection or insulation joint at a landfall unless otherwise specified by the on-shore legislation. The component above (valve, flange, connection, insulation joint) includes any pup pieces, i.e. the submarine pipeline system extends to the weld beyond the pup piece. 343 Submerged zone: The part of the pipeline system or installation below the splash zone, including buried parts. 344 Supplementary requirements: Requirements for material properties of linepipe that are extra to the additional requirements to ISO and that are intended to apply to pipe used for specific applications. 345 System effects: System effects are relevant in cases where many pipe sections are subjected to an invariant loading condition, and potential structural failure may occur in connection with the lowest structural resistance among the pipe sections, see Sec.4 G300. 346 System pressure test: Final test of the complete pipeline system, see Sec.5 B200. 347 Target nominal failure probability: A nominal acceptable probability of structural failure. Gross errors are not included, see Sec.2 C500. 348 Temperature, design, maximum: The highest possible temperature profile to which the equipment or system may be exposed to during installation and operation (100-year value). 349 Temperature, design, minimum: The lowest possible temperature profile to which the component or system may be exposed to during installation and operation (100-year value). This may be applied locally, see Sec.4 B106. 350 Temperature, operation: Representative temperature profile(s) during operation. 351 Test unit: A prescribed quantity of pipe that is made to the specified outer diameter and specified wall thickness, by the same pipe-manufacturing process, from the same heat, and under the same pipemanufacturing conditions. 352 Threats: An indication of impending danger or harm to the pipeline system. 353 Tide: See Sec.3 C400. 354 Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS): The measured ultimate tensile strength. 355 Verification: An examination to confirm that an activity, a product or a service is in accordance with specified requirements. 356 Weld, strip/plate end: Weld that joins strip or plate joins together. 357 Work: All activities to be performed within relevant contract(s) issued by Owner, Operator, Contractor or Manufacturer. 358 Yield Stress (YS): The measured yield tensile stress. 359 100-year load effect: The load with an annual probability of 10-2 of exceedance in a period of one year
