Full title and description

SP RK 3.05-101-2013 — Магистральные трубопроводы (Trunk / Main Pipelines). A Republic of Kazakhstan set of rules and requirements for the design, construction, testing and safe operation of main (trunk) pipelines transporting gas, oil and petroleum products. The document includes technical, constructional and safety provisions and has been issued with subsequent amendments (notably an amendment dated 01 April 2019).

Abstract

This regulatory standard establishes mandatory design principles, route and right-of-way requirements, material and welding specifications, corrosion protection, testing and commissioning procedures (including hydrostatic testing), seismic and crossing requirements, environmental and safety measures, and operational rules for main pipelines in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is intended to ensure reliability, safety and environmental protection throughout pipeline life‑cycle.

• Number of pages: Approximately 113 pages (complete normative text with appendices and mandatory tables/figures).

Scope

Applies to planning, design, construction, testing, commissioning and maintenance of main (trunk) pipelines for transport of natural gas, crude oil and petroleum products within the Republic of Kazakhstan. The standard covers route selection and categorisation of pipeline sections, structural and material requirements for pipes and fittings, welding and joining workmanship, corrosion protection systems, hydrostatic and mechanical testing regimes, seismic and crossing solutions, environmental protection measures and safety distances to buildings and infrastructure.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification and categories of pipeline routes and adjacent land-uses; minimum safety distances and right‑of‑way rules.
• Design loads, pressure regimes, wall thickness calculation and allowable stresses for pipes and fittings.
• Materials, welded construction requirements, non‑destructive testing and quality control for fabrication and field welding.
• Corrosion protection: external coatings, cathodic protection design and monitoring requirements.
• Crossing and transition solutions (rivers, roads, railways, utility corridors) and requirements for supports, anchors and sleeves.
• Hydrostatic testing, pressure testing procedures, acceptance criteria and documentation for commissioning.
• Seismic design considerations, settlement and geotechnical requirements for pipeline routing and supports.
• Inspection, maintenance, monitoring and emergency response provisions for safe operation.
• Environmental protection measures during construction and operation (soil, water and habitat protection; restoration obligations).

Typical use and users

Primary users are pipeline system designers and engineering consultancies, project and civil contractors, pipeline operators and owners, regulatory compliance officers, safety auditors, environmental specialists and government technical committees responsible for construction, operation and oversight of oil, gas and product transmission pipelines. The standard is used in design documentation, permitting, construction supervision and pre‑commissioning testing.

Related standards

Commonly referenced companion documents include national and sector codes such as SN RK / СП РК series on main pipelines and related systems (for example SN RK 3.05-01-2013 and SP RK 3.05-103-2014), technical regulations and sector standards for welded steel pipes and coatings, international and regional standards on pipeline design, and specific technical standards for testing and corrosion protection (national ST/МЕМСТ and applicable GOST/ISO/API norms used in project practice).
