GOST R ISO 15547-1-2009 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R ISO 15547-1-2009 — "Нефтяная и газовая промышленность. Пластинчатые теплообменники. Технические требования" (Russian adoption of ISO 15547-1). The document contains technical requirements for plate-and-frame (plate-type) heat exchangers intended for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, including mechanical design, materials selection, fabrication, inspection, testing and shipment preparation.

Abstract

This standard is the Russian national adoption (identical/IDT) of ISO 15547-1:2005 and specifies requirements and recommendations for gasketed, semi‑welded and welded plate-and-frame heat exchangers used in petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas applications. It addresses structural and operational requirements, testing (including pressure and fire tests where applicable), inspection, materials and marking.

• Edition / version: GOST R ISO 15547-1-2009 (national adoption, identical to ISO 15547-1:2005, edition 1 — 2005).
• Number of pages: 26 pages (typical published pagination matches the ISO original).

Scope

The standard applies to plate-and-frame (plate-type) heat exchangers used in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries. It covers mechanical design calculations, material selection, fabrication and welding requirements, flange and nozzle loads, gasket and plate design, inspection and testing procedures (including hydrostatic and, where applicable, fire tests), marking and preparation for shipment. It is intended for gasketed, semi‑welded and fully welded constructions.

Key topics and requirements

• Design and mechanical strength requirements for plate-and-frame assemblies (loads, moments, nozzle supports).
• Materials selection and compatibility for plates, gaskets and frame components.
• Fabrication and welding rules, including minimum weld and overlay thicknesses for welded joints.
• Requirements for nozzles, flanges, bolting and alignment of bolt holes.
• Testing and inspection: hydrostatic/pressure testing, leak limits, optional fire testing for hydrocarbons and acceptance criteria.
• Documentation, drawings, marking, inspection records and shipment preparation.
• Guidance on gasket selection, ageing and test methods for gasket materials (durability/chemical resistance tests).

Typical use and users

Used by equipment manufacturers (plate heat exchanger vendors), engineering procurement and construction (EPC) companies, plant mechanical designers, inspection and quality teams, maintenance and reliability engineers in oil, gas and petrochemical plants, and regulatory or certification bodies reviewing compliance with GOST/industry requirements. The standard is commonly included in purchase specifications and vendor data sheets for plate-type exchangers.

Related standards

Related documents and predecessors include ISO 15547:2000 (withdrawn; replaced by parts 1 and 2), ISO 15547-2:2005 (Part 2 — brazed aluminium plate-fin plate-type exchangers) and equivalent/adopted national versions (EN ISO 15547-1, API STD 662-1 noted as equivalent/related). National GOST R adoption text is declared identical (IDT) to ISO 15547-1:2005.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST R ISO 15547-1-2009 is the Russian national adoption (IDT) of ISO 15547-1:2005, providing technical requirements for plate-and-frame (plate-type) heat exchangers used in petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers mechanical design, material selection, fabrication and welding requirements, nozzle and flange provisions, testing and inspection procedures (including pressure tests and prescribed leak/acceptance criteria), gasket guidance and preparation for shipment for gasketed, semi‑welded and welded plate-and-frame heat exchangers.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Equipment manufacturers, EPC contractors, plant mechanical and process engineers, inspection and QA/QC personnel, and maintenance/reliability teams in oil, gas and petrochemical sectors. It is used to set procurement and inspection requirements for plate-type exchangers.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The GOST R adoption is published as GOST R ISO 15547-1-2009 and is treated as an identical adoption of ISO 15547-1:2005. National records and standards distributors list it as active (introduced into the GOST system effective 1 Jan 2011). Users should check national standards registries for any later amendments or corrigenda (e.g., known editorial correction to clause 7.7.3 was noted by Rosstandart and a corrigendum process was referenced).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 15547 is published in parts. Part 1 (this document) covers plate-and-frame exchangers; Part 2 covers brazed aluminium plate-fin plate-type exchangers. The 2005 revision split the earlier ISO 15547:2000 into parts 1 and 2.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Plate-and-frame, plate-type heat exchanger, gasketed exchanger, welded plate exchanger, petroleum/petrochemical/natural gas, mechanical design, inspection, testing, GOST R, ISO 15547-1.
