 Downhole Completion Equipment

Notes :

 `Flow wetted’ is defined as those components with an ID that is in direct

contact with the flowing production fluid. External components in stagnant
areas of the valve may be `wetted’ (i.e. in contact with produced fluids), but
are not subjected to fluid flow movement. The material listed identify the
general corrosion resistance for that category of components. Materials with
better corrosion resistance may also be used within that category.
 If the API Class of Service is 3 or 3S PARVEEN has met the metallurgical
requirements (metallurgical conditions, heat treatments, maximum hardness.
Etc.) for materials per NACE Standard MR-01-75. The operator is
responsible for appropriate application per NACE MR-01-75.
 Before performing any secondary operations, users must ensure that all
supplemental tools, accessories and associated operating manuals are
available. Some supplemental tools require additional accessories that are
listed in that tool’s operating manual.

Conventionally used acid inhibitors for alloy steels such as L-80 , may not be
effective on higher alloys used for safety valve materials. Incompatible treatments
could adversely effect the corrosion and cracking resistance of valve materials. These
adverse effects are more likely to occur in Martensitic alloys such as 17-4PH stainless
steel. Acidizing treatments must be judiciously selected and implemented to ensure
that the valve’s components are protected from surface finish damage and to
optimize the valve’s long term performance.
During the performance of an acidizing job, PARVEEN recommends protecting the
safety valve with a lock mounted pack-off sleeve. While it is possible to acidize
through a safety valve without adversely affecting it’s operaton , the safest and
recommended procedure is to install a packoff sleeve with sealing elements across
the valve during these operations.
If the safety valve must be acidized through, the preferred method is to spot the acid
at a desired well depth below the safety valve location. This will ensure the acid
contracting the safety valve will be a diluted concentration produced from the well
soon after its introduction. As an alternative , the acid solution may be pumped down
, however , it should only remain at safety valve depth for the minimum time
possible. PARVEEn recommends thoroughly flushing the tubing with a neutral fluid
after the acidizing treatment. If there are questions about acidizing treatments and
material compatibility , contact your metallurgist or PARVEEN representative to verify
the material compatibility of the valve before proceeding.
Response time
Response time is the time it takes for the SCSSV to close after the surface pressure
is released. It is affected by control line length , control line internal diameter, and
fluid viscosity and other valve related variables. Friction pressure losses may occur in
extended control line lengths and/or restricted ID’s , which can slow response times.
Consider low viscosity fluids when long control lines are involved (subsea or remoter
satellite wells ) or where moderate-to-long , heavy wall control line is used (1/4 in
OD x 0.65 in wall o heavier).
 Downhole Completion Equipment

Installation :
The SCSSV incorporate a ¼ in connection for adaptation of commonly used hydraulic
lines. The most common type of fittings used is the double ferrule compression type.
Two sets of jam nuts , from ferrules and the back ferrules are supplied with each
safety valve. One may be used for testing and other for running. Once the ferrules
are tightened in place they become permanently affixed to the control line.
 1. Cut the control line so that it is square and free of burrs.
 2. Remove the thread protector cap from the hydraulic port.
 3. Circulate fluid through the control line to insure that no metal particles are
transferred to the valve hydraulics.
 4. Run the control line jam nut onto the control line
 5. Run the back ferule oto the control line.
 6. Slide the front ferrule onto the control line with the tapered end facing the
short end of the control line.
 7. Inspect the control line port of the valve to insure that it is clean and free
of debris.
 8. Insert the end of the control line into the control line port until it is
shouldered. Hold it in place.
 9. Slide the jam nut down the control line and thread it into the control line
port manually until it is finger tight.
 10. From finger tight , tighten the jam nut to 23 ft-lb.
 11. Back out the jam nut and remove the control line from the control port.
Inspect the ferrules to insure proper swage onto the control line.
 12. Retighten as in steps as 9 through 11.
Control Line / Hydraulic
Fitting Material Compatibility :
The materials must be compatible with the control line material and the material of
the valves body. It consists of five individual elements : the control line , the control
line jam nut , the front and back ferrules and the valve precision machined port. All
jam nuts provided must be anti gall thread coating. The common ferrule materials
are listed below with their compatible control line materials. To use material

Recommended Hydraulic pressure

Under normal conditions, the hydraulic seals are exposed to differential pressure for
long periods. Parveen recommends minimizing these differential pressures in order
to maximize the life of the seal. Therefore, minimum and maximum recommended
surface hydraulic pressure should be determined by the following equations.
Minimum Recommended Hydraulic Operating
Pressure (Surface)
Pso.. (min) = Pt+Po+Psf+Ph
Maximum Recommended Hydraulic Operating

Pt = Tubing Pressure at Valve Dopth
Po = + Opening Pressure (Zero Bore)
Ph = Hydraulic Pressure of the Hydraulic Fluid
Psf = Safety Factor to Ensure the Valve is Fully Open (400 psi)
Since the opening pressure may vary slightly form valve to valve, obtain this number
form the safety valve receiving report or functional test report.
Maximum Allowable Hydraulic Pressure (Surface Test Only)
Test Pressures up to 10000 psi should only be applied when necessary to test control
line components. Do not expose hydraulic seals to high differential pressure for long
periods.
11.0 Valve installation Procedure
Caution:
The control line fitting must be free of any and all contaminates. Whenever a control
port plug or control line fitting is removed or installed, flush the fitting, the plug, and
the control line with a clear, no-residue aerosol cleaner. Visually inspect every aspect
of the components to ensure that all possible contaminants have been removed.
Prior to installation, ensure that all joints on the safety valve are tight. Check the
safety valve ID for obstructions.
1. Visually inspect the valve to ensure the ID is clear of obstructions.
 Downhole Completion Equipment

2. Install the tubing retrievable safety valve (with flow couplings if used) on the
well tubing. Install the valve with the control line connection at the top.
3. Test the hydraulic control line and connection. No leakage is permitted. The
control fluid is critical and should be agreed upon by the original equipment
manufacturer and the operator. See the Hydraulic Control Line Fluid section of
this manual.
4. Purge the control line as follows.
 Connect a pump directly to the hydraulic control port of the safety valve.
Operate the valve several times to purge all the air from the hydraulic
chamber.
 Connect the pump to the end of the control line spool and pump a
sufficient amount of fluid to ensure that all the air is out of the line, and
the fluid has an unobstructed flow.
 Connect the control line to the safety valve and operate the valve several
times.
5. Test the control line by pressurizing it to the rated, working pressure of the
valve, the working pressure of the wellhead, or the working pressure of the
tree, whichever is loss. Hold this pressure for five minutes to verify that there
is no pressure loss. After holding the pressure for five minutes, bleed the
pressure to zero. The control line tubing must withstand the maximum
anticipated operating pressures and environmental conditions of the well.

Note: Do not set joint testing devices inside of the safety valve.
6. Pressurize the control line and open the safety valve.
7. Run the well tubing with the safety valve and the control line into the well
casing. When a continuous control line is used, maintain the control line
pressure while the tubing is being run into the well. Secure the control line to
the tubing with a minimum of two devices (clamps or bands0 per joint. Place
these devices immediately above and below the tubing string connections.
8. The minimum control line hold open pressure is equal to the sum of the
tubing pressure at valve depth, plus the opening pressure of the safety valve,
plus a safety factor of 400 psig, minus the hydrostatic head of the fluid in the
control line. See the Recommended Calculations section for the calculation
method and formula.
9. Once the tubing is in the well and properly spaced out, securely connect the
hydraulic control line to the surface control system.
10. Pressure test the control line to ensure proper operation of the valve in all
typical circumstances. The acceptance criterion is no indication of leakage.
11. Close the safety valve and test for closure mechanism in accordance with the
local, state, and federal regulations. PARVEEN suggests that this testing use
acceptance criteria no less stringent than those of API-14-B or ISO 10417.

Operating Requirements

This manual is designed to provide operating personnel with the information

necessary to operate service and maintain this product.

In-Service Testing of SCSSVs

Parveen recommends testing the valve at least once every six months. Local
government regulations, field conditions, and operator standards and specifications
may require more frequent testing. Before testing, build a pressure differential of
500 psi or 50% of SITP (whichever is less) across the flapper sealing mechanism.
This differential is adequate to properly test the valve and keep the equalization time
to a minimum after testing. Higher differentials can be used, however equalization
times will increase and the higher pressures generally do not identify looks that
would not also appear under the lower pressures.
Use the following procedure when testing the valve.
1. Record the hydraulic control line pressure, the flowing wellhead pressure
(FWHP), and the flowing wellhead temperature (FWHT) of the well.
2. Isolate the well to be tested from the control system.
3. Shut in the well at the wellhead. (For the purpose of this test, it is assumed
the wellhead is leak free.)
4. Record the shut in Tubing Pressure (SITP) of the well.
5. With the hydraulic control line blocked in, monitor the hydraulic control line
pressure for five minutes. A pressure drop may indicate a leak in the control
system.
6. Completely bleed off the hydraulic control line pressure to the valve. Block in
the control line system and monitor it for five minutes for pressure buildup.
Any pressure buildup may indicate a hydraulic leak.
7. Bleed the pressure from the wellhead to a minimum of 500 psi below SITP, or
50% of SITP (whichever is less) and shut in the well.
Note:

Bleeding off more pressure is acceptable, but will increase the time required
to equalize and return the well to production.

8. Monitor the SITP for a minimum of five minutes.

9. In the event that a pressure increase measures in excess of the test
acceptance rate criterion defined in API 148 or ISo 10417, consult the
troubleshooting chart in this manual.
10.If the testing is successful, return the well to production using the Valve
Equalizing and Opening Procedure found in this manual.
 Downhole Completion Equipment

Valve Equalizing and Opening Procedures

Caution: Do not exceed the maximum hydraulic control line pressure of the
wellhead.
Use the following steps in order to equalize and open this safety valve.
1. Shut in the well a the wellhead.
2. Pressure the tubing above the valve until the pump pressure levels out
indicating equalization across the closure mechanism.
3. Once equalized, refer to section 10.2 to calculate the Minimum Recommended
Hydraulic operating Pressure 9Surface).
Valve Closing procedure
Use the following steps to close the safety valve.
1. Record the hydraulic control line pressure and isolate the control system from
the well to be tested.
2. Shut the well in at the wellhead. Allow a minimum of 5 minutes for
stabilization.
3. Bleed the hydraulic control line pressure to shut the safety valve. Allow
sufficient time to ensure valve closure.
Pass-Through Operations (Service Tool Strings)
This TRSCSSV is compatible with common through tubing service tools. Users must
confirm compatibility with the tubing mounted equipment the tools must work within
or pass through. Service tools should not have sharp external shoulders facing up or
down. If abnormal hesitation or weight loss is encountered when running through the
TRSCSSV, SEE THE Troubleshooting Section.
Closure Against Flow Procedure
It is recommended that closure against flow should only be performed during the
troubleshooting process. Closing the flapper in this manner may improve flapper
sealing by dislodging or crushing debris. This process can impose high loading on the
operating components of the vale, and should be used only when absolutely
necessary. In general, the recommended closing procedure outlined in API RP14B or
ISO 10417 should be followed. The well flow rate and frequency of these closures will
determine the impact of this procedure on valve durability. If, after completion of
troubleshooting steps one and two it is found that there is a need to close the valve
against flow, the following procedure is recommended:
Note:

For optimum effectiveness, the hydraulic pressure must be bled as rapidly

as possible. Any surface control modifications that can increase the speed of
the bleed-off should be implemented.
 Downhole Completion Equipment

Closure Against Flow Procedure

1. With the well not flowing , open / close the valve 3 times and record the
operating pressure trace and the open / close pressures for the later
comparison.
2. Hydraulically open the valve using the normal hold-open pressure.
3. Flow the well at the applicable gas or liquid rates specified within the
verification Test section of API 14A/ISO10432.
4. Close the valve against the flow by quickly releasing the hydraulic control
pressure.
5. Test for closure mechanism leakage. It there is a pressure increase ,
measure to determine. If it is in excess of the test acceptance rate
criterion defined in API 14B or ISO 10417.
6. If after three attempts of step 5 , the the measured leakage is still
unacceptable , refer to step 4 of the Closure Mechanism Leakage
Troubleshooting Chart.
7. Equalize across the flapper. With the well not flowing , open/close the
valve 3 times and record the operating pressure trace and the open/close
pressures or the pressure trace is indicated stop the procedure and
contact PARVEEN.
Functional Testing :
Perform functional testing on each SCSSV in accordance with API specifications ,
Federal , State and local governmental regulations as well as specific , operator
company requirements , may also apply. At a minimum testing should mee the
requirements specified in API.
Note : In preparation for performing functional tests, all test personnel are
encouraged to review all of the steps , Notes, Cautions and Warnings in operating
manual.
Permanent Lockout and Secondary Communication Actuation Procedures
General Information :
The SCSSV provides two methods of permanent lockout in the event problems occur
that prevent the proper operation of the safety valve. The specific tools required for
these operations are listed on the engineering ata sheet on this manual.
Method I provides secondary control fluid communication for secondary valve
operation in conjuction with a permanent lock-open system.
Method II displaces the flapper from the wellbore without secondary communication.
Note : All slickline tools used in these operations are to be assembled and
verified per the current drawings.
 Downhole Completion Equipment

Before attempting any lockout procedure , the differential pressure across the flapper
must be reduced to zero. To reduce the differential pressure apply pressure to the
tubing above the safety valve. Equalization is evident when the rate of pressure
increase slows significantly.

Run a blank tool string with a no-go the same size of the safety valve to verify
unrestricted access to the safety valve’s no-go. This string will verify the accessibility
of the valves lock open mechanism of the required lock open tool.
This slickline work requires the use of a standard tool string , which includes
mechanical jars and stem weight above the lock out tool. For smaller valves ( 2.3/8
in , 3.1/2 in ) use of 100 lb of stem. For larger valves ( 4.1/2 in – 7 in ) use 200 lb of
stem. This additional weight will increase the efficiency of the lock out tools
operation.

Note : These are examples of the effective weights. They do not allow for
possible opposing forces. For example , in higher pressure applications , the
pressure differential on the wire in the lubricator can significantly reduce
the effective weight of the tool String. Consideration must be given to the
net weight of the tool string versus the differential pressure of the well.

Caution:

The application of 1000 psi above SITP to the tubing is required during the
lockout process. Ensure all components are rated for the required
pressures.
Lockout procedure with secondary hydraulic communication.

Method 1 provides for permanently locking the SCSSV in the open position and
simultaneously providing secondary communication in one slickline trip. Use this
method when installing a slickline retrievable SCSSSV in the TRM with a minimum
number of slickline trips.

Caution: Use this method only if hydraulic integrity exists. If the control
system pressure cannot be maintained and the leak is diagnosed, do not use
method 1. A secondary SCSSSV will not function in this scenario.
Selective lockout tool:

1. Perform the steps detailed in the general section of this procedure.

2. With the no-go dogs in the running position, lower the selective, lock-open
tool through the safety valve. Do not allow the no-go of the tool to pass below
the flapper of the SCSSSV.
3. Pull the tool back up past the no-go. This will set the no-go dogs in the no-go
position.
 Downhole Completion Equipment

Non- selecting Lockout tool:

3a.Lower the complete tool string through the tubing until the no-go dogs contacts
the nipple profile in the safety valve. Tap down lightly to confirm the proper location
of the tool in the safety valve.
Caution: From this point forward, do not apply any upward pull or jarring on
the lockout tool until the lockout is complete. Upward pulling or jarring may
cause a mis-run.
4. Apply 500 psi above SITP to the hydraulic control line, if possible, in order to
maintain a positive differential from the hydraulic to the tubing pressure.
5. Jar down on the tool 5-8 times in order to shear the tool shear pins between
the no-go sub and the hydraulic ram. This engages the o-ring and expands
the locking dogs.
6. Apply and maintain 1000 psi above the SITP to the tubing above the lockout
tool.
7. Jar down aggressively 30-40 times. This shears the shear bolts and the shear
plug in the safety valve. When the bolts are sheared, the pressure differential
across the tool will shift the flow tube travel of the safety valve may be seen.
The hydraulic control pressure should equalize with the SITP to indicate that
secondary communication has been achieved. The tubing pressure should
also drop off as the o-ring no longer seals against the ram indicating that the
tool has been stroked sufficiently to lockout the valve.

Warning: Use caution when bleeding pressure off from above the tool
string. If a negative pressure differential is created, the tools may be blown
up the hole.
8. Slowly bleed off the tubing pressure above the safety valve to the SITP.
9. Pick up on the tool string and return it to the surface. If the tool is equipped
with tattletales. Note the position of the snap ring. If the ring is in the top
groove on the hydraulic ram, there was sufficient travel to lock the valve
open.
10. Perform the permanent lockout verification methods as setailed in this
manual.

The flow tube exercise tool allows for shifting the flow tube into the closed position if
the safety valve is stuck open due to scale build up. The exercise tool sets a lock in
the recess of the flow tube and shifts it upward using slickline methods. This tool
assembly consists of the flow tube exercise tool, extension bars, and no-go sub.
Refer to the data sheet for part numbers.
The length of the extension bar is designed so the locking dogs of the exercise tool
will be below the flow tube lock recess when the no-go sub contacts the no-go
shoulder in the hydraulic chamber housing or communication nipple. The completes
flow tube exercise tool attached to the bottom of a conventional
 Downhole Completion Equipment

slickline tool string (weight bars and mechanical jars) and lowered through the
tubing until the safety valve or communication nipple is reached.

Do not use the valve hydraulic to open and close the valve during the flow tube
exercise process.
1. With the locking dogs in the running position , lower the flow tube exercise
tool down to the no go. Lightly tap downward to confirm the proper location
of the tool in the safety valve.
2. Lift up on the tool string 6 to 12 inches and then drop to shear the pin
securing mandrel to cap.
3. Slowly lift up on the tool string. As the locking dogs reach the flow tube
recess, they will extend and engage in the recess. The ratches will engage the
threaded section of the mandrel and lock the dogs in the expanded position.
Continue pulling upward until approximately 500 lb, registers on the weight
indicator.
4. Slowly lower the tools and jar upward to shift the flow tube into the closed
position.
5. Continue to jar upward to shear the pins securing the shear pin insert to the
body. The expander sleeve will then shift upward and allow the dogs to
retract. The tool can then be pulled out of the hole.
6. If the locking dogs cannot fully expand into the recess, the ratohels will not
engage the threaded section of the mandrel. Upward jarring will shear the
pins securing the expander sleeve to the mandrel. The expander sleeve will
drop and allow the dogs to retract. The tool can then be pulled out of the
hole.
7. In the event that the mandrel and expander sleeve will not shift upward,
downward jarring will shear the ratchets from the mandrel. This will shift the
expander sleeve downward and allow the dogs to retract. The tool can then
be pulled from the hole.
8. Perform the verification methods as detailed in this manual.
9.
Permanent lockout procedure without hydraulic communication:

The penetration type SCSSSV lockout mechanism enables the SCSSSV to be

permanently locked open without activating the secondary communication feature.
This is accomplished by physically deforming the flow tube while it is in the open
position and not allowing the valve to close. This lockout tool is hydraulically and
mechanically activated. Refer to the data sheet for part numbers. There is a specific
hydraulic relationship between the lockout tool and the safety valve. Since hydraulic
pressure is used to force the flow tube down, tubing pressure inside the valve
dictates the amount of pressure required to shift the flow tube down. Use the
following formula to determine this pressure before running the lockout tool.
 Downhole Completion Equipment

ph = ((po + pt) / ratio) +1000 psi

where
ph = hydraulic pressure differential required to operate the lockout tool.
po = Opening pressure of the safety valve.
pt = Shut in tubing pressure at the valve
Ratio = Relationship between the valve and the tool
(see the engineering data page)
1000 psi = safety factor

Before attempting the lockout procedure, the differential pressure across the flapper
must be reduced to zero. This can be accomplished by applying pressure to the
tubing above the safety valve. Equalization is evident when the rate of pressure
increase slows significantly.

1. Ensure the pressure across the flapper is equalized. Determine the hydraulic
pressure required to operate the lockout tool using the preceding formula.
Make sure that the wellhead equipment will withstand the required hydraulic
pressure.
2. A minimum of 300 lb of stem is required to run the lockout tool. Make sure
the penetrators are correctly oriented; ther should be a slight angle 10º to
15º, from perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the valve. Lower the
complete tool string through the tubing until the no-go shoulder in the safety
valve stops the tool’s shoulder.
3. Tap down lightly to confirm contact between the no-go on the tool string and
the no-go shoulder on the nipple.

Note:

Do not prematurely shear the pins by beating down too hard. Usually the weight of
the tool string is sufficient to engage the no-go shoulder.

4. Apply the pressure calculated in step 1. Maintain this procedure while jarring
down with the full weight of the tools string 30 times.
5. Bleed off the hydraulic pressure above the tool string. Return the tool to the
surface. The safety valve is locked out of service.

Permanent Lockout verification methods:

Method I verification:

To verify that communication for the secondary valve has been established, pump
hydraulic fluid into the control line. If the communication feature is properly
activated, pressure will rapidly fall off to the SITP. Perform method I and II
verification steps. Method I and II verification
 Downhole Completion Equipment

Slickline Verification

Note: The slickline tool string should contain as few shoulders as possible to avoid
hanging the tools in the well.
Slowly lower a blank slickline tool string completely through the safety valve and
return it to the surface. The tool string must pass freely through the valve in both
directions.

Flow verification:

Slowly open the wing valve to initiate well flow. Gradually open the wing valve to full
normal production.

Recommended Suppliers:

Cleaning fluid
Use appropriate cleaning solvents. Since solvents of these type do not leave an oil
film, it is essential that the thread and seal lubricant is applied as specified. Wear
rubber gloves when using cleaning solvents.

Seal Lubricant

Use dow corning 3451 to install spring energized Teflon seals.

Thread Lubricant

Use lubricant (molybdenum disulfide) for body joint threads.

Thread Sealant/Adhesive

Use a thread sealant/ adhesive (Red loctite 271) where specified. See the text for
proper application.

Hydraulic Fluid

PARVEEN recommends using a hydraulic fluid that exhibits viscosity and lubricity
properties at typical downhole temperatures. PARVEEN can provide
recommendations for specific hydraulic fluids that are approved for use in safety
valves.

Disassembly Procedure :

Note :

When using a strap wrench, chain wrench, or wise during the following procedure,
do not secure the jaws or strap over the thread areas.
1) install the valve in a torque machine and break both body joints.
2) Install the valve in a large vise stand, gripping the valve on the spring
housing (19). Support the hydraulic chamber housing with a hack stand.
3) Insert the spring compressor rod into the bore of the safety valve. Push the
rod through the safety valve until the end of the rod in beyond the lower
nipple 920). Make up the end plate and nut onto the compressor rod.
Compress until the valve is in a light contact.
4)
Disassembly Procedure:

Warning: There is an element of danger involved in removing the hydraulic

chamber housing. The spring tension, acting on the hydraulic chamber
housing, requires that a spring compressor assembly will contain the force
of the power spring so the spring tension can be safely relaxed. Exercise
caution and be aware of the possibility of injury to personnel. Remove the
spring compressor from the safety valve once the hydraulic chamber
housing has been removed from the spring housing, and the spring tension
has been relaxed.

4. Remove the hydraulic chamber housing (1), the flow tube (7), and the power
spring (10) from the spring housing (19). As the hydraulic chamber housing is
removed, gradually release the tension on the spring compressor wheel
5. With the lower nipple (20) supported by the jack stand, remove the lower
nipple from the spring housing(19).
6. Remove the flapper housing (14), the seat insert with O-ring (11), and soft
seat (15), from inside the spring housing (19).
7. Drive the flapper pin (16) out of the flapper housing (14) using a punch.
When the flapper pin is removed, the flapper (18), the flapper spring (17),
and the flapper spacers (if applicable)(26) can be removed.
8. Remove the power spring (10) from the one piece flow tube (7).
9. Unhook the piston (5) from the spring stop (9) and remove the one-piece flow
tube (7) and the attached parts from the hydraulic chamber housing (1).
10. Remove the spring stop retainer (8) and the spring stop (9) from the one-
piece flow tube (7).
11.If the shear bolts (21) and shear plug (6) have been sheared, remove the
lockout rod (24), the lockout plug (25), and the lockout sleeve (2) from the
hydraulic chamber housing (1).
 Downhole Completion Equipment

Note: The shear plug and shear bolts have been assembled using Loctite.
Heat will loosen the grip of the thread sealant. Be careful not to shear the
bolt or the plug with excessive torque.
Warning: The shear bolt and shear plug will be hot after heat is applied.
Take the proper precautions to prevent injury to personnel prior to
removing them.
12. If the shear bolts (21) are intact and still attached to the chamber housing,
apply heat to the shear bolts (21) and shear plug (6) with an electric heat
gun. Carefully remove the shear bolts from the chamber housing (1). Remove
the lockout sleeve (2) and attached items.
13. Carefully remove the piston (5) with T-seal from the hydraulic chamber
housing. Once the piston (5) with T-seal from the hydraulic chamber housing,
remove the piston T-seal set (3).
Note: Flapper spacers (26) will only be found on safety valves that are
larger than 3.5 in.
Reassembly Inspection
1. All components should be cleaned with appropriate solvents and free of
any foreign material.
2. Visually inspect for damaged components.
3. Visually inspect all threads and screw holes to insure they are clean and
free of burrs.
4. Visually inspect all coatings to insure they are intact.
Body Joint Threads
These inspection techniques apply to the Hydraulic Chamber Housing, Spring
Housing, and Lower Nipple.
1. Inspect the thread flanks to ensure there are no sign of tears or galling.
Remove burrs and minor thread flank irregularities with an emery cloth.
2. Inspect the burnished contact band on the internal and external seal angles.
This contact band denotes the thread seal land.
Note: Damage in the form of galling, grooving, or nicks on the burnished
seal surface is unacceptable and will require repair at a Parveen
manufacturing facility.

Hydraulic Chamber Housing

Hydraulic Piston Bore

1. If the valve has been in service, inspect & insure the lapped seal band of the
Piston Head is free of damage. If damaged, use fiber optics to inspect the
chamber housing’s static seal angle should have a 16 RMS finish and be free
of defects. If either the seal angle or bore is damaged, the chamber housing
must be discarded or returned to Parveen for repair or replacement.

2. If the shear bolts and shear plug have been sheared, it will be necessary to
remove the remaining portion of thr Shear bolts & plug. Drill a small hole
through the remaining portion of the Shear Bolts and use an E-Z OUT for
removal. The Shear Plug must be removed using an E-Z OUT.
3.
Spring Housing

1. Inspect the seal land in the ID of the spring housing where the seal set on the
seat insert is located. The seal land should have a 32 RMS finish and have no
defects.

Assembly Procedure

NOTE: When using a strap wrench, chain wrench, or vise during the
following procedure, do not secure the jaws or strap over the thread areas.
When tightening or torquing the joints, place the wrench or torque jaw
away from the thread.

1. Place the hydraulic chamber (1) in the vise and clean the piston bore with
alcohol.
2. Make up the piston assembly.
 Visually inspect the piston T-seal set (3) under magnification. The T-
seal must be free of any imperfections, cuts or tears.
 Visually inspect the seal land on the piston (5) for damage.
 Assembly the piston T-seal set (3) onto the piston (5). Measure the
T.I.H. at the piston. The T.I.R. must not exceed .005 in. If the wiper
ring (4) has been removed, replace the wear ring into its slot.
 Apply a light coating of Dow Corning 3451 lubricant.
3. Insert the piston assembly into the piston bore of the hydraulic chamber
housing (1).
4. Apply Molybdenum disulfide to the threads of the shear plug (6). Apply Loctite
271 to the shear bolts (21) and the shear plug (6). Install them along the
lockout sleeve (2) into the hydraulic chamber housing (1).
With a pung, peen two sides of the lockout sleeve where the shear bolt heads
are located to prevent the sheared head from falling into the valve upon
lookout.
5. Apply Loctite 271 to lockout plug (25) and install it & the lockout rod (24) into
the lockout sleeve (2).
6. Make the flapper & seat assembly.
 Install the flapper (18) the flapper pin (16), the flapper spring spacers (26),
and the flapper spring (17) onto the flapper housing (14).
 Peen both ends of the pinhole in the flapper housing at two locations to hold
the flapper pin in place. Install the soft seat (15) onto the seat insert (11).
 Apply Loctite 271 on the seat insert (11) threads. Install the O-ring seal with
backups (12,13) onto seat insert. Next insert the seal insert onto the flapper
housing (14).
 Apply Dow Corning 3451 or equipment lubricant on the entire O-ring seal
assembly.

Note: Do not hammer on the flapper section.

7. Slide the flapper assembly into the lower end of the spring housing (19). Use
a rubber mallet to install the flapper assembly until it bottoms out against the
shoulder in spring housing.
8. Install the spring housing (19) in a vise. Liberally coat the body joint threads
and the seal angles of the spring housing, the hydraulic chamber housing (1)
and the lower nipple (20) with molybdenum disulfide. Apply a moderate
coating joint compound on the body joint of the lower nipple (20) & the
hydraulic chamber housing (1).
9. Install the lower nipple (20) onto the spring housing (19). Snug this joint
which will be torqed later.
10. Slide the power spring (10) into the spring housing (19).
11. Install the spring stop (9) & the spring stop retainer (8) onto the floe tube
(7).
12.
Warning: There is an element of danger involved in installing the hydraulic
chamber housing. The spring tension acting on the spring housing, requires
that a spring compressor assembly be used.

13. Attach the piston assembly to the spring stop (9) and push the piston/flow
tube assembly completely upward. Slide the chamber housing /flow tube
assembly into the spring housing (19) and over the dowel rod.
14. Take the hydraulic chamber housing (1) out of the vise and install the valve in
a torque machine. Make up both joints and torque per Parveen specifications.
15.
Body Joint torque Specifications

The torque requirements, surface preparation, surface finish requirements, and

makeup procedures for safety valves are closely controlled. The body joint make-up
and torque requirements vary with the valve’s OD and material properties.
