You cannot "convert" an ASME design to NORSOK. You must design for NORSOK from the start.

R-001 doesn't just care if it works; it cares if it works safely. Enclosed rotating parts are mandatory.

Equipment must undergo rigorous manufacturing tests to verify performance under simulated operational loads before being deployed. Why It Matters
