Description

1.1 One of the means of assuring positive wellstrean shutoff is the use of the wellhead surface safety valve (SSV) or underwater safety valve (USV). It is imperative that the SSV/USV be mechanically reliable. It should therefore be operated, tested and maintained in a manner to assure continuously reliable performance.

1.2 The purpose of this Recommended Practice (RP) is to provide guidance for inspecting, installing, operating, maintaining, and onsite repairing SSVs/USVs manufactured according to API Spec 6A (17th Edition or later), Clause 10.20 or API Spec 14D (withdrawn). Included are procedures for testing SSVs/USVs.

1.3 This RP covers guidelines for inspecting, installing, maintaining, onsite repairing, and operating SSVs/USVs. Nothing in this RP is to be construed as a fixed rule without regard to sound engineering judgment nor is it intended to override applicable federal, state or local laws.
