FOREWORD
The Iranian Petroleum Standards (IPS) reflect the views of the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum and are
intended for use in the oil and gas production facilities, oil refineries, chemical and petrochemical
plants, gas handling and processing installations and other such facilities.
IPS are based on internationally acceptable standards and include selections from the items
stipulated in the referenced standards. They are also supplemented by additional requirements
and/or modifications based on the experience acquired by the Iranian Petroleum Industry and the
local market availability. The options which are not specified in the text of the standards are
itemized in data sheet/s, so that, the user can select his appropriate preferences therein.
The IPS standards are therefore expected to be sufficiently flexible so that the users can adapt
these standards to their requirements. However, they may not cover every requirement of each
project. For such cases, an addendum to IPS Standard shall be prepared by the user which
elaborates the particular requirements of the user. This addendum together with the relevant IPS
shall form the job specification for the specific project or work.
The IPS is reviewed and up-dated approximately every five years. Each standards are subject to
amendment or withdrawal, if required, thus the latest edition of IPS shall be applicable
The users of IPS are therefore requested to send their views and comments, including any
addendum prepared for particular cases to the following address. These comments and
recommendations will be reviewed by the relevant technical committee and in case of approval will
be incorporated in the next revision of the standard.

SECTION 1
1. SCOPE
Note:
This standard specification is reviewed and updated by the relevant technical committee on
Sep. 2012. The approved modifications by T.C. were sent to IPS users as amendment No. 1
by circular No 357 on Sep. 2012. These modifications are included in the present issue of
IPS.
1.1 General
This Specification contains the minimum requirements for offshore cranes to be used in, production,
drilling and exploration facilities and new ventures, wherever applicable.
No deviation from this specification is permitted without explicit approval of the Company.
The intended deviations shall be clearly indicated and separately listed in the vendor’s proposal.
Compliance with the requirements of this specification does not relieve the Vendor of the
responsibility for furnishing a unit of proper design, strength, workmanship and materials to suit the
specified operating conditions. (Mod.)

working load at fully extended boom position and shall be witnessed by third party
inspection and/or purchaser’s representative.
b) Motion test
During the overload test, each motion in turn shall be maneuvered in both directions and
the crane shall sustain the load under full control. The crane shall prove itself capable of
dealing with the overload and specified speed without difficulty. (Add.)

July 1995 IPS-M-GN-330
8.1.5.4 All bearings shall be adequately lubricated. Plain bearings or their shafts shall have oil or
grease grooves. All lubrication nipples should be of similar size and type and shall be readily
accessible. Where access for lubrication is difficult, bearings shall be such that lubrication is
required as infrequently as possible or facilities for lubrication from a remote position shall be
provided. A lubrication diagram shall be provided.

11. CONTROLS
12.1 General
Cab lighting, either natural or artificial, shall provide a level of illumination that enables the operator
to observe the operating controls. The operator’s cab shall be mounted on the rotating portion of the
crane and have safe access to the driver’s cabin.
Cab shall be self ventilated by means of adjustable opening and in case of special environmental
condition shall be equipped with heating and/or Cooling System. Free height inside cab shall not be
less than 2 meters. Cab shall be provided with door lockable from outside and with emergency
escape opening. (Mod.)

July 1995 IPS-M-GN-330
12.2 Windows
A windshield wiper should be provided on the front window. Means shall be provided for cleaning
windows from inside the cab unless exterior platforms are provided. (Mod.)
12.8 Seat
An adjustable operator’s seat with backrest shall be provided. The seat should be arranged and
constructed to minimize operator fatigue, and shall have means for ventilation. (Add.)
13.1.5 The connections between the sections of lattice strut jibs and sections of fly jibs shall be
designed so that they can only be disconnected by an operator standing out from under the section.
This may be achieved by the use of pins which can only be inserted from inside the jib so that an
operator must stand outside of the jib to drive them out. (Add.)

limited to the following.
a) Installation preparation instructions which should provide:
1) Vertical and horizontal forces and torsional and overturning moments applicable
to each recommended configuration. The data should indicate whether governing
forces are due to in-service or out-of-service winds, the applicable wind velocity,
and whether the wind has been taken perpendicular or diagonal to the crane boom
head.

service conditions.
3) Anchorage arrangements.
4) Crane dimensional data.
b) Erection and dismantling instructions which should provide:
1) Weight and dimensions for components and subassemblies.
2) Recommended lifting attachment points.
3) Center of gravity location for nonuniform components and subassemblies.
4) The method and recommended sequence of assembly and disassembly of
components and subassemblies. Warnings should be given alerting erection
personnel when member strength or stability requires particular methods or
sequencing.
5) Details, including diagrams where necessary, of critical component connections
describing and identifying bolts, pins, and other parts needed, the method of
assembling the joint, the torque or tension to be applied to prestressed (traction)
bolts, the point in time of the erection process for applying torque or tension, and
the means for retaining pins, and etc.
c) Operating instructions, limitations, and precautions.
d) Maintenance requirements and recommendations including identification of those
members or locations that should be periodically observed, or tested, for the purpose of
detecting the onset of metal fatigue, the loosening of prestressed (traction) bolts, or wear
affecting the ability of the crane to support rated loads.
e) Repair recommendations including advice on welding procedures. The type of metal
used for load sustaining members shall be identified (see Section 13).
f) Design characteristics affecting safety, such as:
1) Location, proper settings and adjustments, and functioning of limiting and
indicating devices.
