General Information

The Engineering Encyclopedia is a collection of Saudi Aramco specific, technical

material for use by Saudi Aramco employees to enhance their knowledge and
understanding of the Saudi Aramco Engineering Standards. This material is intended
for the exclusive use of Saudi Aramco's employees. This encyclopedia is not
mandatory. It shall not be used nor referenced:

• In any purchase order

• In any contract

• In any other document sent outside Saudi Aramco

• By any company doing commercial business with or for Saudi Aramco.

Where reference is made to mandatory engineering requirements, such as those in

SAES, SAMSS, SAEP, Standard Drawings, etc., and conflicts and deviations exist,
those mandatory requirements take precedence over the information in the
Engineering Encyclopedia.

If there are general questions about the use of the Engineering Encyclopedia, contact
