3.1.4
articulated choke and kill line
I A choke and kill line assembled as a unit, with rigid pipe, swivel unions and end connections, designed to accommodate specified relative movement between end terminations.
NOTE Articulated lines used for purposes other than choke and kill lines are outside the scope of this document.
3.1.5
blind flange
A flange with no center bore, used to close off completely a flanged end or outlet connection.
3.1.6
body
Any portion of API equipment between end connections, with or without internal parts, that contains well bore pressure.
3.1.7
bonnet
A pressure-containing closure for a body, other than an end or outlet connection.
3.1.8
buffer chamber
A chamber installed downstream of the chokes to allow manifolding of the bleed lines together.
3.1.9
calibration
Comparison and adjustment to a standard of known accuracy.
3.1.10
casting (noun)
An object at or near finished shape obtained by solidification of a substance in a mold.
3.1.11
casting (verb)
Pouring molten metal into a mold to produce an object of desired shape.
3.1.12
check valve
A valve that permits fluid to flow freely in one direction and contains a mechanism to automatically prevent flow in the other direction.
3.1.13
chemical analysis
Determination of the chemical composition of material.
3.1.14
choke
Equipment used to restrict and control the flow of fluids.
3.1.15
chokelkill line
A high-pressure line that allows fluids to be pumped into or removed from the well with the BOPs closed.
3.1.27
equipment
Any single completed unit that can be used for its intended purpose without further processing or assembly (e.g. a valve, choke, cross, tee, spool, etc.).
3.1.28
equivalent design and construction (flexible lines)
Design and construction is regarded as equivalent if it is based on the same design methodology and stress criteria, same number of reinforcing layers, same nonmetallic materials, but physical size of reinforcement (e.g. size of tendon, pressure armor, or reinforcing cable) may be different for different flexible line sizes and pressure ratings.
3.1.29
fabrication weld
A weld joining two or more parts.
3.1.30
fit (noun)
The geometric relationship between parts.
NOTE This would include the tolerance criteria used during the design of a part and its mating parts.
3.1.31
flange
A protruding rim with holes to accept bolts and having a sealing mechanism used to join pressure-containing equipment.
3.1.32
flexible line
An assembly of a pipe body and end-fittings.
NOTE I The pipe body comprises a combination of materials that form a pressure—containing conduit.
NOTE 2 The pipe structure allows large deflections without a significant increase in bending stresses.
NOTE 3 Normally, the pipe body is built up of one of the two construction types shown in Figure 8 as non-bonded and bonded
flexible lines.
3.1.33
form (noun)
The essential shape of a product including its component parts.
3.1.34
function
The operation of a product during service.
3.1.35
heat (cast lot)
Material originating from a final melt.
3.1.36
heat (remelted alloys)
The raw material originating from a single remelted ingot.
3.1.37
test, vent, pipe plug, and gauge connections
Holes drilled and tapped into equipment through which internal pressure can be measured or through which pressure can be applied to test the sealing mechanisms.
