This Recommended Practice (RP) provides general guidance on valve selection for the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI), which includes refineries and petrochemical, chemical, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants and their various associated processes. Selection guidance is...
ABSTRACT This report presents the findings and recommendations from the second year of an American Petroleum Institute (API) research study aimed at updating the API Specification 14A Verification Test Procedure for surface-controlled subsurface safety valves (SCSSV)....
According to the Request for Proposal API 11V2 Verification Test #1 by Mr. Kenneth L. Decker, Chairman of the API 11V2 Work Group, the purpose of this test is to note the ability to determine if the Test Site Recommendations can be verified, rather to verify that the system complies...
ABSTRACT This report presents the findings and recommendations from the third year of an American Petroleum Institute (API) research study aimed at updating the Specification 14A Verification Test Procedure for surface-controlled subsurface safety valves (SCSSV). Specification 14A was...
This recommended practice (RP) provides recommendations for evaluation of a manufacturer's valve construction and quality management system for the purpose of determining a manufacturer's capability to provide new valves manufactured in accordance with the applicable standards listed...
This standard covers inspection, examination, supplementary examinations, and pressure test requirements for resilient-seated, nonmetallic-seated (e.g. ceramic), and metal-to-metal-seate
Recommended Practice 11V7 applies to repair, testing, and setting gas lift valves and reverse flow (check) valves. This is a recommended practice to present guidelines related to the repair and reuse of valves; these practices are intended to serve both repair shops and...
Test site recommendations (Section 3): This section outlines the equipment needed for testing valves to determine the following: a. Valve flow coefficients (Cv). b. Pressure drop ratio factor (Xt). c. Gas-lift valve performance curves. Gas-lift valve probe...
General This specification defines the requirements for the design, manufacturing, assembly, testing, and documentation of ball, check, gate, and plug valves for application in pipeline and piping systems for the petroleum and natural gas industries. This specification is not...
This Recommended Practice is intended to set guidelines for continuous flow gas lift installation designs using injection pressure operated valves. The assumption is made that the designer is familiar with and has available data on the various factors that affect a design. The...
This International Standard provides the minimum acceptable requirements for subsurface safety valves (SSSVs). It covers subsurface safety valves including all components that establish tolerances and/or clearances which may affect performance or interchangeability of the SSSVs. It...
1. INTRODUCTION Subsurface safety valves (SSSVs) are required by law in most offshore producing wells. The purpose of the valves is to shut off well flow in the production tubing below the mudline in the event disasters, such as explosions or fires, disable surface shutdown devices....
This specification is applicable to all valve springs, ready for installation, which are manufactured from alloy spring steel. Mission / Theme. Not applicable. Classification. Not applicable. Note: Nothing in the specification, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations unless a...
