EN ISO 24200:2022 PDF

Overview

EN ISO 24200:2022 - “Petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries - Bulk material for offshore projects - Pipe support (ISO 24200:2022)” is a harmonized CEN/ISO standard that specifies unified requirements for metallic pipe supports used on topside systems of fixed and floating offshore oil & gas projects. The document defines requirements for design (shape and dimensions), material selection and strength for a range of common pipe support types and applies to design temperatures from −46 °C to 200 °C.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and applicability
  • Topside systems for fixed or floating offshore installations.
  • Metallic pipe supports only; applicable pipe-size range varies by support type.
• Support types covered
  • Clamped shoe, welded shoe, U-bolt, U-strap
  • Bracing for branch connection, trunnion, stanchion
  • Guide supports (guide, hold‑down, guide & hold‑down, line‑stop)
• Design and material considerations
  • Unified specifications for shape, dimensions and strength to ensure compatibility across projects.
  • Material selection criteria suitable for design temperatures between −46 °C and 200 °C.
  • Key parameters and size/dimension guidance are provided for each support type.
• Selection and application guidance
  • Support selection guidelines to match support type to pipe size, load endurance and service conditions.
  • Application notes to enhance maintainability, integrity and fabrication efficiency.
• Structure of the standard
  • Terms/definitions, normative references, detailed chapters on individual support types with key parameters, dimensions and application recommendations.

Practical applications

• Standardizes pipe support designs for offshore topside piping systems to improve:
  • Interoperability between projects and suppliers
  • Fabrication efficiency and reduced lead times
  • Cost control through reduced engineering effort and material optimization
  • Maintainability and integrity of piping systems in harsh offshore environments
• Useful for specification, procurement and QA of pipe supports used in topside piping on offshore platforms, FPSOs and other floating or fixed production units.

Who should use this standard

• Offshore piping designers and engineering firms
• Owners/operators in petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries
• Fabricators, shipyards and suppliers of pipe supports
• Procurement teams and standards/QA departments
• Integrity, maintenance and installation teams working on topside piping
