General information
1.1
Minimum requirements:
• Each valve and check valve must be identified with a unique serial number
that will remain with the equipment until it is removed from service.
• Each piece must be inspected and pressure tested as per this guideline at
least once every twelve (12) months unless otherwise required on a more
frequent basis.
• The results of the inspection and pressure test must be documented. The
documentation (either a paper copy or electronic copy) must be kept on file
at the operating location for one year or until the next inspection.
• Any piece not meeting the requirements of this guideline must be taken out
of service and repaired or destroyed.
1.2 Annual inspection requirements
1.2.1 Visual inspection

• Ensure that the component was manufactured by an approved supplier
according to the current version of Well Services QHSE Standard 05, or that
an exemption approved by Well Services headquarters is in place.
• Ensure that for check valves, it was manufactured by Grant or FMC for
dart-type or FMC, SPM, or Wood Machine for flapper-type check valves or
that an exemption approved by Well Services HQ is in place.
• Remove any flapper-type check valve manufactured by Wheatley from
service.
• Ensure that the valve has not been welded for any reason.
• Verify that the valve has a band with a serial number or that the serial
number is stamped onto the body of the valve; if there is no band and the
serial cannot be seen stamped onto the valve's body, perform the necessary
research to identify the valve's serial number.
Private
• Inspect the internal bore of the valve for erosion or corrosion. If the valve
shows any signs of erosion or corrosion, test the point of concern with the
ultrasonic thickness tester.
• Make sure the flapper or dart assembly is complete and is free to move
on check valves.
• Verify that the flapper sealing rubber is bonded to the flapper for this type
of valve.
• Check for cracks in the root of the 1502/1002 (4-in) acme thread or any
other damages to this thread. If there are any concerns, perform an MPI
of the union.
• Inspect the outside of the valve for surface damage such as dents, gouges,
or unusual flat spots. Remove the valve from service if there is any external
damage.
• Check for cracks in the 90-degree angle on the back side of the male hub. If
there are any concerns, perform an MPI of the union.
• Remove the seal rubber and check its condition and the condition of the
sealing face. Replace any seal rings that show damage of any kind. If the
sealing face is pitted or otherwise damaged, remove the valve from service.
• Without grinding them, check to see if the hammer lugs on the wing nut can
be dressed and still remain within acceptable limits. See Figure 1-3, part A.
1.2.2 Wall thickness inspection

1. Verify that the ultrasonic tester is current on its annual calibration and that it
has been calibrated at least once that day by following the manufacturer’s
procedure.
2. If required for the specific ultrasonic thickness tester, remove paint, grease,
rust, and other materials from the area to be tested.
3. Measure the wall thickness at the desired areas designated in Figure 1-1 and
any other areas indicated during the visual inspection.
4. Compare the results of the wall thickness tests to the minimum wall thickness
for the components as shown in Table 1-1 (p. 1-4).
5. Remove from service and destroy any components that show a wall thickness
equal to or less than the minimum wall thickness.

1.2.3 Union inspection

1. Verify that all go/no-go gauges are current on their calibrations.
2. Thoroughly clean all parts of the union.
3. Clearly identify that the wing is made by FMC or SPM. If not and no
exemption approved by Well Services HQ is in place, remove from service
and destroy the component.
4. If the wing is 2-in and is marked “TEST” instead of “CWP,” remove the wing
and destroy it.
5. Grind the hammer lugs on the wing to match Figure 1-3 (p. 1-6), part B, and
measure L; if any lug matches Figure 1-3, part C, or has L equal to or less
than Lm (see Table 1-2 (p. 1-6)), remove the wing and destroy it.
6. Screw gauge #1 into the wing until it is hand-tight.
7. Backing out gauge #1 while pulling on it, count the number of turns until it
releases from the wing; if gauge #1 turns more than 1 turn before releasing,
remove the wing and destroy it.
8. Slide gauge #2 into the wing; if it enters the wing completely, remove the
wing and destroy it.
9. Dismantle the wing completely.
10. If the wing is an FR design, ensure that the segments and male hub are also
the FR design. Do not use gauges #5 or 6 to inspect FR parts.
Private
11. Using gauge #5, check in three places around the circumference of the male
hub that the hook does not fit; if the hook does fit with the gauge level with
the hub on 2 out 3 places, remove the valve from service and destroy it.
12. Slide each of the segments through gauge #5 to ensure that there is no
visible clearance on surfaces A or B; if there is any clearance, destroy the
segment.
Figure 1-2: Inspecting the segment using gauge #5.
13. Measure the surface B of all three segments, ensuring that they are the
same height; any differences in heights must be investigated to ensure that
FMC or SPM segments are being used in the respective unions.
14. Screw gauge #3 onto the thread until it is hand-tight.
15. Backing out gauge #3 while pulling on it, count the number of turns until it
releases from the thread; if gauge #3 turns more than 1 turn before releasing,
remove the valve from service and destroy it.
16. Slide gauge #4 onto the thread; if it slides over the thread to the mark on the
gauge, remove the section of the valve with the thread and destroy it.

1.2.4 Pressure test

1. Reassemble the valve correctly.
Note
You must use OEM parts to reassemble Grant dart-type check valve.
Because of obsolescence, when parts are no longer available, remove the
valve from service and destroy it.
2. In a pressure test bay or other protected environment, fill the valve with
water and pressure test it to +/-2.5% of its rated working pressure for, at
least 3 minutes.
3. If there are no leaks and the pressure drops off no more than 2.5% of its rated
working pressure within the 3 minutes, the valve has passed the inspection.
4. If the pressure decreases from the initial test pressure and stabilizes, the
pressure can be increased one time to reach the rated working pressure.
5. If there are visible leaks or the pressure drops off more than 2.5% of its rated
working pressure within the 3 minutes, release the pressure and return the
valve for repair and retesting.
Differential testing of plug valves (pressure testing from both sides of the
closed valve) is a maintenance procedure and is not a requirement of Well
Services QHSE Standard 23, InTouch content ID# 3313701.
Each high-pressure valve must be tested in the open position to make sure the
valve body holds the pressure at the maximum working pressure.
Check valves (dart and flapper) are required to be pressure-tested to working

pressure two times. These two tests include:
1. A test against the checking assembly (opposite to the normal direction of flow)
2. A test in the direction of flow for body integrity
1.2.5 Documentation
Documentation must conform to the requirements stated in Section 23.8.6 of
Well Services Standard 23, InTouch content ID# 3313701. For check valves,
include both pressure test charts with the documentation.
Private
Potential Severity: Catastrophic

Potential Loss: Assets, Personnel, Process, Reputation
Hazard Category: Pressure
NEVER weld on treating equipment.

1.2.6 Banding
Identification banding must conform to the requirements stated in Section 23.8.7
of Well Services QHSE Standard 23, InTouch content ID# 3313701.
1.2.7 Painting
Paint the treating equipment according to the requirements stated in Section
23.8.8 of Well Services QHSE Standard 23, InTouch content ID# 3313701.
Paint the indicator bars on the bonnet of the valve a different color from the valve
so that it can clearly be determined whether the valve is in the open or closed
position.
