API SECTION 2 - BASIC DESIGN 2.1 General 2.1.1 (Substitution) This Standard is designed to default to the equipment types most commonly supplied to PETROBRAS, and that have a high probability of meeting the objective of at least 5 years of uninterrupted service while complying with specified operating conditions and with emission and safety regulations. The equipment (including auxiliaries) covered by this Standard shall be designed and constructed for a minimum service life of 20 years. 2.1.2 (Comment) Usually, steam turbine supplier/manufacturer is not considered by PETROBRAS as the main equipment vendor (mostly assigned to the supplier of driven equipment) and thus the scope of responsibility defined in 1.4.37 of this Standard will only apply to those orders where steam turbine manufacturer is referred to as the vendor. When referred to as supplier of manufacturer, its scope of responsibility will be considered as agreed and stated on the contract with main equipment vendor. 2.1.4 (Addition) Unless otherwise specified, turbines shall be designed to enable a further upgrade in order to deliver 110 percent of originally rated power (within originally specified range of speeds) under originally specified steam conditions. 2.1.4 (Comment) PETROBRAS may eventually require that such 10 percent increase in rated power be quoted as an option of the original proposal.

Whenever feasible, turbines shall be suitable for field performance test and for internal cleaning while in operation. For PETROBRAS guidance, turbine supplier/vendor shall include in the proposal a preliminary study concerning test and cleaning likelihood, whether or not the setup of a special arrangement is required and shall list any additional measures that PETROBRAS should implement in order to enable the test and/or cleaning to be performed. Performance parameters and limitations, including any required precautions, shall be mutually agreed upon by PETROBRAS and turbine supplier/vendor. 2.1.7 (Addition) Even when none of such actions is specified, main equipment vendor shall include in installation and maintenance manuals, diagrams and procedures for hot and cold alignment of shafts, couplings and flanges. Allowances and tolerances shall be included as well. 2.1.8 (Addition) Turbine supplier/equipment vendor is required to note on the data sheets the minimum space required for equipment disassembly and the heaviest maintenace weight. See proper fields in Construction Features. 2.1.9 (Addition) Turbine components that are very similar among each other (such as wheels, shafts, seals and seal glands, sleeves, nozzle rings, stationary blades and casings) shall be indelibly identified with the order of assembly and to which sub-set they belong (e.g.: stage/wheel number, coupling end, etc). Lifting lugs or eyebolts shall be provided for any equipment or component that weighs more than 30 kg (66 lb). 2.1.11 (Addition) Tubes shall have an outside diameter of 19 millimeters (3/4 inch). Number of tubes shall be established according to velocity criterion. 2.1.11 (Comment) Regarding Table 1, the use of such design criteria for water-cooled heat exchangers is preferred, but it is recognized that under certain rating conditions full compliance designs may not be feasible. Whether such criteria is used or not, cooler design and performance are of turbine suppliers/equipment vendors concern and responsibility.
