NORSOK, NACE, API & PED Compliant Fasteners for Oil & Gas & Pressure Equipment Projects

Introduction

Oil & Gas, offshore and pressure equipment projects often require compliance with specialized industry standards beyond general ASTM specifications.

Uni Circle Fasteners Sdn Bhd (UCF) supports supply of fasteners aligned with:

  • NORSOK M-650

  • NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156

  • API Requirements

  • PED (Pressure Equipment Directive)

  • AD 2000

  • Sour Service Applications

  • Offshore Platform & FPSO Specifications


NORSOK Fasteners

NORSOK standards are commonly specified for:

  • Offshore platforms

  • Subsea equipment

  • Norwegian Continental Shelf projects

  • High-corrosion marine environments

These projects require enhanced material integrity, corrosion resistance, and full traceability to meet offshore operational demands.


NACE & Sour Service Applications

In hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) environments, fasteners must comply with NACE requirements to prevent:

  • Sulfide stress cracking

  • Hydrogen embrittlement

  • Premature material failure

We support sourcing of compliant materials suitable for:

  • Refineries

  • Gas processing plants

  • Offshore sour service environments

  • Petrochemical facilities

Material selection and certification are critical in ensuring long-term performance in corrosive conditions.


API Bolting Applications

For upstream and downstream Oil & Gas operations, API-aligned bolting may be required for:

  • Wellhead equipment

  • Pressure-containing components

  • Pipeline flanges

  • Valve assemblies

API compliance is commonly specified in project documentation for energy sector applications.


PED & AD 2000 Pressure Equipment Applications

For European-regulated or pressure vessel projects, compliance with PED and AD 2000 may be required.

These standards are commonly specified for:

  • Heat exchangers

  • Pressure vessels

  • Boilers

  • Industrial piping systems

Documentation, traceability, and conformity assessment are essential in meeting regulatory and inspection requirements.


Supporting Critical Applications

These compliance frameworks are particularly relevant for:

  • Heat exchanger stud bolts

  • Pressure vessel bolting

  • High-temperature turbine fasteners

  • Super Duplex offshore bolting

  • Alloy 660 (A286) high-temperature applications
