Foreword
PETROBRAS Technical Standards are prepared by Working Groups - GTs
(consisting of PETROBRAS specialists and specialists from PETROBRAS Subsidiaries), are
commented by PETROBRAS Units and PETROBRAS Subsidiaries, are approved by the Responsible
Subcommittees - SCs (consisting of specialists belonging to the same specialty, representing the
various PETROBRAS Units and PETROBRAS Subsidiaries), and ratified by the CONTEC Plenary
(consisting of representatives of the PETROBRAS Units and PETROBRAS Subsidiaries). A
PETROBRAS Technical Standard is subjected to revision at any time by the Responsible
Subcommittee and must be reviewed every 5 years to be revalidated, revised or cancelled.
PETROBRAS Technical Standards are prepared in accordance with PETROBRAS Technical
Standard N - 1. For complete information about PETROBRAS Technical Standards see PETROBRAS
Technical Standards Catalog.

1.4.17 (Substitution)
System settle-out pressure is the highest predicted static pressure to which the compressor
and its piping appurtenances will be submitted whenever the system (plant or unit to which
such equipment is to be connected) is not running. This static pressure build-up is normally
developed in low-temperature services due to an increase in the process gas temperature
(up to the ambient temperature) after system shut-down.
1.4.23 (Substitution)
Unit responsibility refers to the technical responsibility for coordinating the general
arrangement of the whole train to be supplied (driver and driven equipment - including gears,
clutches and couplings, as applicable to each case), as well as power, torque and speed
requirements, direction of rotation, and so forth; for analyzing noise, lateral and torsional
vibration data; for designing, laying out and supplying piping and appurtenances, controls
and instrumentation, cooling, heating, lubrication and sealing systems and for supervising
and coordinating all required tests and material reports, preparation for shipment, shipment
and field assembly, pre-commissioning, commissioning, start up, pre operation and field
acceptance test of all equipment within the scope of this Standard, as required by the
contracted scope of supply.
1.4.24 (New)
Hazardous service, when so stated on the data sheets, shall apply to all parts of compressor,
seal system, piping, instruments and auxiliary equipment that are to (or may eventually) be in
contact with the process gas, and refers to the following fluids and operational conditions:

Tubes shall have an outside diameter of 19 millimeters (3/4 inch). Number of tubes shall be
established according to velocity criterion, and quality material of the tubes.
2.1.5 (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 vendor’s concern and responsibility.
2.1.6 (Addition)
Vendor is required to note on the data sheets the minimum space required for equipment
disassembly and the heaviest maintenance weight. See proper fields in “Construction
Features”.
2.1.7 (Addition)

seals and seal glands, sleeves, diffusers and casings) shall be indelibly identified with the
order of assembly and to wich sub-set they belong (e.g.: stage number, suction side,
coupling end, etc). Lifting lugs or eyebolts shall be provided for any equipment or component
that weighs more than 30 kg (66 lb).
2.1.10 (Substitution)
The whole train furnished by the vendor (compressor, driver, gear and auxiliary equipment)
shall conform to the requirements of API Standard 615, ISO Standards 3740, 3744 & 3746,
and, unless otherwise specified, to the maximum allowable sound pressure level of 85 dB
(A), slow-response, measured at 1 m (3.28 ft) from the equipment surfaces. Unless
otherwise specifically stated on the data sheets, noise level tests need not be performed. On
the other hand, bidder/vendor shall guarantee that equipment actual sound pressure level
will remain within allowable limits, informing in his proposal the expected or guaranteed
maximum sound pressure level of quoted equipment and including copies of noise level test
certificates performed on similar equipment.
2.1.14 (Addition)

N-2626 REV. A ENGLISH JUN / 2002
2.6.18.2 (New)
The blade natural frequencies shall not coincide with any source of excitation from
10 percent below minimum governed speed to 10 percent above maximum continuous
speed. If this is not feasible, blade stress levels developed at any specified driven equipment
operation shall be low enough to allow unrestricted operation for the minimum service life
defined in 2.1.1. Blades shall be designed to withstand operation at resonant frequencies
during normal warm-up. The vendor shall state in the proposal the speeds below the
operation range corresponding to such blade resonances.
Note: Excitation sources include fundamental and first harmonic passing frequencies of
rotating and stationary blades upstream and downstream of each blade row, gas passage
splitters, irregularities in vane and nozzle pitch at horizontal casing flanges, the first ten rotor
speed harmonics, meshing frequencies in gear units.
2.6.18.2.1 (New)
Whenever coincidences are impossible to avoid, detuning of blades shall be discussed with
PETROBRAS during proposal stage, i.e., any exception to above paragraph will need
specific approval by PETROBRAS prior to the placement of purchase order.
2.6.18.3 (New)
Proposed blade designs must have at least 8 000 trouble-free operating hours on similar
conditions. The bidder shall always include both Campbell and Goodman diagrams, for all
blades, in the proposal, backed by demonstrated experience in the application of identical
blades operating with the same source or frequency of excitation that is to be used in the
proposed unit. The bidder shall indicate on the diagrams all acceptance margins. Due to the
characteristics of some special purpose applications (normally, “Taylor-made”) the proposed
set of blades (all rows, for both rotor and stator assemblies) may not have such experience
demonstrated, although strongly preferred by PETROBRAS.
2.6.18.4 (New)
All Campbell diagrams shall show the blade frequencies that have been corrected to reflect
actual operating conditions. Where applicable, the diagrams for shrouded blades shall show
frequencies above and below the blade lock-up speed and shall specify the speed at which
blade lock-up occurs.
2.7.1 General

a) two pairs of embedded sensors shall be placed in the thrust pads (one pair per
side - active and inactive) assembled at 180 º apart;
10
N-2626 REV. A ENGLISH JUN / 2002
2.7.4.7 (Addition)
When replaceable thrust collars are used, two axial-position probes shall be installed facing
the shaft stub. If specified, a third probe (wired, but not connected to the monitor) shall be
installed facing the collar in order to allow for periodical checks of collar fixation and relative
position to the shaft.
When integral thrust collars are used, either arrangement is acceptable: two sensors facing
the shaft stub or one sensor facing collar and the other facing the shaft stub.
2.8.1 (Addition)
Whenever compressor suction pressure (even for transient or startup conditions) is lower
than atmosphere, an auxiliary oil pressurization system for seals shall be provided,
independently of reference gas.
2.8.2 (Substitution)
Shaft seals and shaft sleeves shall be accessible for inspection and replacement without
removing the top half of the casing of an axially split compressor or the heads of a radially
split unit. Whenever feasible, this requirement shall apply to overhung designs as well.
2.8.3 (Addition)
Whenever feasible, seals shall be designed as self contained units (cartridge-type) which can
be preassembled, preset and tested before installation.
2.8.3 (Comment)
Seal oil (or seal gas) consumption will be an important parameter to determine equipment
choice. Compressor vendor and/or seal manufacturer shall state in proposal data sheets the
expected or guaranteed maximum leakage rates (seal oil and process and/or seal gas(es),
daily consumption of contaminated oil, and so forth) of the quoted seal, both at shop testing
and at job site, under specified operating conditions.

expected or guaranteed time to compressor shutdown, during which PETROBRAS is allowed
to safely proceed with its operation in the event of primary seal failure).
2.8.3.5 (Addition)
a) Seal gas injection pressure control system shall be supplied by compressor vendor.
b) Unless otherwise specifically stated on the data sheets, gas compressors shall be
provided with dry gas seals. An inert gas such as nitrogen is required as seal buffer gas for
hazardous, flammable services (e.g., FCC wet-gas compressor).
Air as buffer for hazardous, flammable services shall not be used unless it has
been specifically required (stated on the data sheets) or approved (whenever
recommended or requested by the vendor) by PETROBRAS for that particular
application.
2.9 Dynamics
2.9.2.3 (Substitution)
Unless otherwise specified, vendor shall perform a lateral analysis for each machine which
shall take into consideration the damped unbalanced response analysis of all components of
the train.

shutdown sequences, tests, etc) and interlocks as required for proper equipment operation.
Unless specified as a mandatory requirement (usually for unspared equipment), CPU
redundancy shall be quoted as an option, for both custom or standard panels. All specified
instrumentation points shall be within one single local panel and fully interfaced with plant
remote DCS.
3.4.3.3 (New)
If local panel is unfitted with a reprogramming interface, all necessary devices and systems
shall be furnished in order to allow for such reprogramming be accomplished (hardware,
software, connections, instructions and procedures, etc).
14
N-2626 REV. A ENGLISH JUN / 2002
3.4.5.2.1 (Comment)
Testing of shutdown devices while in operation will only be considered when recommended
by vendor and equipment protection is not suspended during simulation. Self analyzing
systems that will detect faulty transmitters or microprocessor fault and automatically trip the
equipment (instead of transferring control and protection to redundant systems) should not
be used. Whenever redundancy is not an available option, the use of such standard systems
for critical process equipment need PETROBRAS specific approval.
3.5.1 General
3.5.1.5 (Addition)
