with regard to design, selection, and supply of Control and Instrumentation

Cables for onshore facilities.

1.2 Scope

This standard specifies the minimum requirements of ADMA-OPCO for

procurement of Control and Instrumentation cables for onshore facilities where

flame retardant or fire resistance cables are required. The cable supply shall comply

with particular requirements specified in the cable data sheet in Appendix–A. Any

deviation from this Standard shall be identified by Supplier and shall require written

approval from ADMA-OPCO. The Onshore facilities require cables for both

aboveground and underground installations. The aboveground installation requires

armoured cables whereas underground installation requires both multi layer sheath

and armoured cables to provide hydrocarbon resistance.

The requirements specified in this document shall be followed in all the projects for

ADMA-OPCO, except where specific deviations are obtained from ADMA-OPCO.

For such cases, a project specific cable specification shall be developed addressing

all such deviations.

1.3 Cover age

This Standard covers Control and Instrumentation cables for onshore facilities

including flame retardant and fire resistant cables.

1.4 E xclusions

This specification excludes the requirements of power and earthing cables for

instrumentation equipment. Refer ADMA-OPCO Standard STD-140 for Low

Voltage Electrical Cables for further details.
