The standard may also influence material selection and fabrication practices to ensure compatibility with the external protection system. For example, it might require:
The similarity in naming often leads to confusion with the ASME SA-134 specification. It is vital to distinguish this standard, which covers a specific type of steel pipe, from the Aramco corrosion standard. saes-a-134
