Dnv-rp-f118 -
DNV-RP-F118 provides a structured, statistically based framework for validating Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) systems, shifting focus toward Probability of Detection (PoD) and accurate sizing in pipeline welds. It ensures technical confidence in detecting critical defects by requiring rigorous performance demonstrations, which can be optimized through simulation technologies like CIVA.

DNV-RP-F118
| Standard | Focus | Key difference | |----------|-------|------------------| | | Integrated riser system on floating units | Most rigorous for fatigue and accidental loads; explicit treatment of FLS and ALS; preferred by European and Asian operators. | | API RP 2RD | Design of risers for floating productions | More prescriptive, less probabilistic; widely used in US Gulf of Mexico but recognizes F118 for fatigue. | | ISO 13628-7 | Completion/workover risers | Narrower scope (intervention risers, not production risers). | | DNVGL-ST-F201 | Dynamic risers (general) | A standard (higher safety level) than RP; F118 is often the companion guide to ST-F201 for floating unit interfaces. | dnv-rp-f118
