DET NORSKE VERITAS

)25(:25'
DET NORSKE VERITAS (DNV) is an autonomous and independent foundation with the objectives of safeguarding life, property and the environment, at sea and onshore. DNV undertakes classification, certification, and other verification and consultancy
services relating to quality of ships, offshore units and installations, and onshore industries world-wide, and carries out research
in relation to these functions.
DNV Offshore Codes consist of a three level hierarchy of documents:
2IIVKRUH6HUYLFH6SHFLILFDWLRQVProvide principles and procedures of DNV classification, certification, verification and consultancy services.
2IIVKRUH6WDQGDUGVProvide technical provisions and acceptance criteria for general use by the offshore industry as well as
the technical basis for DNV offshore services.
5HFRPPHQGHG3UDFWLFHVProvide proven technology and sound engineering practice as well as guidance for the higher level
Offshore Service Specifications and Offshore Standards.
DNV Offshore Codes are offered within the following areas:
A) Qualification, Quality and Safety Methodology
B) Materials Technology
C) Structures
D) Systems
E) Special Facilities
F) Pipelines and Risers
G) Asset Operation

Global shear capacity check can in principle be carried out in the same manner
as the global moment capacity check since all stress components and lateral
pressure are included in the capacity check of each panel. However, in the sections with the highest shear stresses, an acceptable procedure will be to carry
out one moment capacity check for each local panel for the design wave resulting in maximum bending moment combined the associates shear stress, and
one shear capacity check according to equation in 402 based on maximum section shear force and associated bending moment.

The requirements for design of bilge keels apply to turret
moored units and to spread moored units. The bilge keel shall
be welded directly onto the shell plate without doubling plates.
Adequate transverse supporting brackets, or an equivalent arrangement, shall be provided. The loads due to ship motions
shall be determined from the wave load analysis employing a
viscous damping coefficient representative for seastates which
contribute most to fatigue damage. The damping coefficient
should be determined at 10-2 probability of exceedance.
Fatigue calculations should be carried out by means of a
spectral analysis. A component stochastic analysis as described in Classification Notes 30.7 is acceptable. If the bilge
keel is of a closed construction type, the transfer functions for
stress responses from the wave dynamics and motion induced
drag forces shall be determined separately. The transfer functions shall be combined in the cumulative damage calculations.

As well as representing DNV's interpretation of safe engineering practice for general use by the offshore industry, the
offshore standards also provide the technical basis for DNV
classification, certification and verification services.
A complete description of principles, procedures, applicable class notations and technical basis for offshore classification is given by the DNV Offshore Service Specifications
(OSS).
Classification procedures and requirements specifically
applicable in relation to the technical requirements given in
Ch.2 of this standard are given in this chapter.
$ $VVXPSWLRQV

Any deviations, exceptions and modifications to the design codes and standards given as recognised reference codes
shall be approved by DNV.
Where codes and standards call for the extent of critical
inspections and tests to be agreed between contractor or manufacturer and client, the resulting extent is to be agreed with
DNV.
DNV may accept alternative solutions found to represent an overall safety level equivalent to that stated in the requirements of this standard.

Equipment shall be certified consistent with its functions
and importance for safety.
Equipment referred to in this standard will be categorised as follows:
&DWHJRU\,
equipment related to safety for which a DNV certificate is
required.
Category I equipment is subdivided into IA and IB categorisation.
&DWHJRU\,,
equipment related to safety for which a works certificate
prepared by the manufacturer is accepted.
For equipment category I, the following approval procedure shall be followed:
design approval, followed by a design verification report
(DVR) or type approval certificate
fabrication survey followed by issuance of a product certificate.
Depending on the required extent of survey, category I
equipment is subdivided into IA and IB with the specified requirements as given below:
&DWHJRU\,$
pre-production meeting, as applicable, prior to the start of
fabrication
class survey during fabrication
witness final functional, pressure and load tests, as applicable
review fabrication record.
&DWHJRU\,%

The extent of required survey by DNV is to be decided on the
basis of manufacturer's QA/QC system, manufacturing survey
arrangement (MSA) with DNV and type of fabrication methods.
*XLGDQFHQRWH
It should be noted that the scopes defined for category IA and IB
are typical and adjustments may be required based on considerations such as:
- complexity and size of a delivery
- previous experience with equipment type
- maturity and effectiveness of manufacturers quality assurance system

The mill test pressure is lower in ISO than in this standard. The ISO requirement is:
2 t min
p = 0 . 95 ------------- SMYS
D

This hoop stress formula for the ISO mill pressure test is different from the formula in ISO 13623 and DNV (which are
identical). Hence, the mill test pressure difference compared to
this standard depends on D/t.

The type and number of ultrasonic probes shall be sufficient to ensure that the base material, or the weld and the area
adjacent to the weld, is:

scanned from both directions approximately parallel to

longitudinal weld axis for flaws oriented transverse to the

fully covered by ultrasound beams that are approximately

It may be necessary to include tandem, TOFD and/or focused
probes in order to enhance the probability of detection or characterisation of flaws.
