Efforts should be made to utilize SAWE standard definitions. However, this project specific document may take into consideration specific terminology used in client specifications and terms common to governing bodies with jurisdiction. Where there is conflict between SAWE recommended terminology and client terminology, work with the client to come to a consensus on what definitions will be used. The agreed upon definition shall be recorded in the Weight Management Definitions document prior to it being issued for project use.   Purpose   To ensure consistency across all weight management documents, a centralized Weight Management Definitions document has been created. This document starts with weight management terms as defined in ISO 19901-5: 2003. Additional terms commonly used for weight management but not defined by ISO are also defined herein and, to the extent possible, have been defined per their most common industry usage.      ]]> Scope   At the onset of each project, a similar, weight management specific, definitions document should be issued to clarify weight management terminology to be used on that project.

Each coordinate system will include a defined origin, specified axes of rotation, and a sign convention to establish uniformity in weight property data collection and reporting. The use of a standard coordinate system will minimize the possibility of error due to differences in coordinate systems used by suppliers, designers, builders, regulatory bodies, or owners. These coordinate systems will be used in the determination of centers-of-gravity. They will also be used to determine mass moments of inertia as they relate to the three rotational degrees of freedom: roll, pitch, and yaw for floating structures.

Purpose

A shared or common set of coordinate system will make data transfer between different weight engineering groups on a program or project simpler.  A common center of gravity system should be employed by designers and fabricators of the facility.  ]]> Scope The scope of this Recommended Practice is to establish acceptable three-dimensional center of gravity coordinate reference systems for offshore facilities.
