TS ISO 1998-99

TS ISO 1998-99 is the general and index part of the petroleum industry terminology series. It provides a structured point of entry to the terms used across the series and helps users relate Turkish and English equivalents within the same technical vocabulary. In terminology standards, the main value is consistency: reducing ambiguity, aligning naming practices, and making technical communication easier to follow.

This part acts as a navigational framework for the ISO 1998 series rather than a process standard or an equipment specification. The petroleum sector uses a broad technical vocabulary covering crude oil, products, operations, measurement and trade. An index-oriented part helps users locate the relevant term in the main subject sections and better understand how concepts are grouped and related.

What this index part contributes to the series

In terminology work, index sections are used to organise terms by subject, connect equivalent designations and make it easier to reach the correct definition in the relevant part. That is the practical role of TS ISO 1998-99: it supports navigation through the other parts of the series and promotes more consistent use of technical language. Its scope remains limited to the important terms included in the series; it should not be read as an exhaustive dictionary of every possible petroleum term.

• Provides a general and index structure for petroleum industry terminology.
• Presents Turkish and English equivalents for the terms in the series.
• Offers a reference framework that points to the other ISO 1998 parts.
• Supports consistent naming and quick technical reference.
• Covers important terms in the series, not every possible term.
