If that is true, why isn N.A. Brz more universally used?
That’s easy! COST. A lot of the platform projects we work on do not expect to be in service beyond five years. It is difficult therefore to convince the owners, let alone the engineering company responsible for limiting the capital expenditure of the platform, to budget the use of N.A.Brz. However based on the amount of column pipe service we are aware of, through our various service technician contractors, N.A.Brz might be more cost effective than is realized. The additional cost for the Fire Pump Co’s Badenoch Bronze will pay for itself twice over the first time the pump is pulled.
