For design and fabrication of piping systems for ENI Div.

Exploration&Production, the Manufacturer shall adopt, as provided by
“Piping Project Specifications”, materials included in ANSI/ASME
reference codes. The Manufacturer shall prepare, for each supplied
material, a particular material appraisal (PMA) containing the technical
support (technical considerations, supplementary tests results, etc.)
