SAES-A-134 refers to the Saudi Aramco Engineering Standard External Corrosion Protection Requirements
Coastal areas with high salinity (within proximity to the sea) where salt spray significantly accelerates metal degradation. 3. Integration with Other Standards saes-a-134
High-risk areas requiring specific barrier coatings to prevent moisture entrapment between the substrate and insulation. Soil & Splash Zone Protection: SAES-A-134 refers to the Saudi Aramco Engineering Standard
: Guidelines for structures exposed to the air, using specific protective coating systems. Soil & Splash Zone Protection: : Guidelines for
| Feature | Onshore (SAES-A-134 Onshore) | Offshore (SAES-A-134 Offshore) | |---------|-------------------------------|--------------------------------| | Coating | 3LPP or FBE (minimum 400 µm) | Concrete weight coating + FBE | | Trenching | Required for HDD crossings | Required in scour zones & shore approaches | | Vents/Blowdowns | Required every 20 km | Not typical (riser relief valves) | | Corrosion allowance | 3 mm (sweet) / 6 mm (sour) | 3 mm + CP system |
Requirements for structures buried in the ground or located in the "splash zone" of offshore platforms where water and air meet.
: It is frequently cited as the governing standard for external surface preparation and the application of protective coatings to prevent corrosion in buried or atmospheric conditions. Integration with Other Systems
