Engineering & Design Basis:
Equipment must be designed with a long life cycle in mind, prioritizing reliability in harsh environments. NORSOK R-001: The Ultimate Guide to Mechanical Equipment
One of the defining features of R-001 is its focus on life-cycle costs. The standard encourages the selection of equipment that offers the best balance between initial investment and long-term reliability. This is achieved through rigorous requirements for material selection, corrosion protection, and ease of maintenance. For instance, the standard provides detailed guidance on the use of stainless steels and titanium in corrosive environments, ensuring that equipment can withstand the harsh conditions typical of the North Sea.
