Standard Subsea
Connection Systems
Through standardized processes, common core
components, and qualified, field-proven assemblies,
OneSubsea can deliver standard subsea connection
systems anywhere globally within 6 months.
These highly configurable solutions are designed to bring
greater efficiency and reliability to subsea operations,
enabling project viability and helping you meet a range
offunctionality requirements while driving down capex.

Versatile and efficient OneSubsea clamp
systems (OCSs) ensure that there is a
connection solution for every application.
■Proprietary dual metal gasket (DMG)
■Compact design that reduces weight
and cost of structures
■Reduced jumper installation time
■ROV fly-to-place tooling that eliminates
the use of downline
■In situ insulation capability
■High load capacity
■Accommodation of rigid,
flexible, or multibore jumper
configurations
■Subsea seal replacement
and hub cleaning ability
■Backseat testing capability
■Wet parking capability
Advantages Flexible Functionality
Quality Control
The QC requirements for our connection systems
are in accordance with API Specifications 6A and
17D. Facilities are certified per API Q1, strategic
subcontractors are certified to ISO9001, and body
forgings are certified to DNV 3.2. This approach
facilitates preengineering of materials, which
enables preordering and, in certain cases, stocking
them to secure lead time and protect schedule.
Surveillance by customers is available during
factory-acceptance testing.
The standard connection system is built from a suite of preauthored quality control, material, welding,
and coating specifications that simplify and expedite our execution processes. OneSubsea works
with approved vendors to ensure that they can manufacture the required components, enabling high
confidence in quality and lead time.
Materials
All material specifications used conform to
API 6A and API 17D and were chosen on a
component-by-component basis. Pressure-
containing components additionally conform
to DNV GL recommended practices (RP)
for steel forgings for subsea applications
(DNVGL-RP-0034). A range of standardized
material options is available based on
component criticality, manufacturability,
andenvironmental compatibility.
Welding
Our welding procedure for subsea connection
systems conforms to API 6A, ASME IX, ASME
B31.3, ASME B31.8, and NACE MR0175 / ISO
15156. Adhering to proven, tested, and
repeatable processes enables OneSubsea to
■standardize welding specifications within and across
productlines and vendors
■provide a superior engineering design that meets
or exceeds industry specifications at a lower cost
■deliver increased value by enhancing the product
without incurring added costs.
There is one overall coating
procedure comprising two
preferred subsea coating
options—one for temperatures
up to 122degF [50degC] and
one high-temperature system for
up to 302degF [150 degC]. The
standard coating specification
gives the requirements for surface
preparation, selection of coating
materials, application procedures,
and inspection of protective
coatings to be applied on the
standard connection systems.
