Offshore Pressurized Containers: Meeting the Rigorous DNV2.7-1 and IEC60079-13 Standards

​Introduction
Offshore environments demand the highest levels of safety and reliability, especially when it comes to pressurized containers. TLS Offshore Containers ensures its products not only meet but exceed these expectations by complying with two critical standards: DNV2.7-1 and IEC60079-13. This blog post will delve into these standards and how TLS's commitment to them translates to superior offshore pressurized containers.
 
DNV2.7-1 Standard: The Cornerstone of Offshore Container Safety
DNV2.7-1, developed by Det Norske Veritas (DNV), is a globally recognized standard for offshore containers. It covers design, materials, fabrication, testing, and inspection, ensuring containers can withstand the harsh conditions of offshore environments. Some key aspects of the DNV2.7-1 standard include:

• Structural Integrity: The standard sets strict requirements for the strength and durability of containers, considering factors like pressure, temperature, and external loads.
• Material Selection: Only materials with proven resistance to corrosion, fatigue, and other forms of degradation are permitted.
• Fabrication and Welding: The standard outlines stringent procedures for welding and fabrication to ensure the structural integrity of the container.
• Testing and Inspection: Containers undergo rigorous testing, including pressure testing, leak testing, and non-destructive examination, to verify their compliance with the standard.

 
IEC60079-13 Standard: Ensuring Electrical Safety in Hazardous Areas
IEC60079-13 is an international standard that addresses the design, selection, and installation of electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres, commonly found in offshore environments. Key aspects of the IEC60079-13 standard include:

• Classification of Hazardous Areas: The standard defines different zones based on the likelihood and duration of the presence of explosive gases or dusts.
• Equipment Selection: Electrical equipment must be selected and certified based on the specific hazardous area classification.
• Installation and Maintenance: The standard provides guidelines for the safe installation and maintenance of electrical equipment in hazardous areas.
