Foreword
This NACE standard recommended practice is a guide for selecting corrosion-resistant materials
for the supply, storage, pumping, and injection of water encountered in oilfield operations where
external or subsea exposure to salt water is not a consideration. These recommendations are
also applicable to metals used in conjunction with carbon dioxide (CO2) injection systems.
Special metallic materials are required for many water-handling systems; however, a thorough
evaluation of the water in each operation should be conducted to determine whether such
materials are required. The materials and metal property requirements given in this standard are
based on a review of field data. Each system should be evaluated to determine the applicability
of the stated material. This standard is intended to aid manufacturers, suppliers, and users of
oilfield equipment in the selection of materials.
This standard was originally prepared in 1975 by NACE Task Group T-1F-7, a component of
NACE Unit Committee T-1F on Metallurgy of Oilfield Equipment. This standard was revised in
1991 and revised again in 1998 by Task Group T-1F-27, and is published by NACE International
under the auspices of Group Committee T-1 on Corrosion Control in Petroleum Production.
In NACE standards, the terms shall, must, should, and may are used in accordance with the
definitions of these terms in the NACE Publications Style Manual, 3rd. ed., Paragraph 8.4.1.8.
Shall and must are used to state mandatory requirements. Should is used to state that which is
considered good and is recommended but is not absolutely mandatory. May is used to state that
which is considered optional.
