23.6 Definitions
Term Definition
treating equipment Any components exposed to pressure from the well or from the
discharge of any high pressure pump, including, but not limited to,
plug valves, straight joints, bull plugs, pressure sensors, coiled
tubing wellhead equipment, etc.
23.7 General requirements

Never use any treating equipment components that are not approved for use in
Well Services QHSE Standard 05: Wellsite Operations, InTouch content ID#
3313681, in sections 5.11.1.1 and 5.11.1.2.
Immediately remove from service any items that do not pass the inspection
criteria. If these items cannot be repaired such that they meet these inspection
criteria, permanently isolate and destroy them.
Private
23.7.1 Interchangeability concerns

Some components from different manufacturers are built to different tolerances

and may have different designs. To avoid potentially catastrophic consequences,
use only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) approved parts to repair or
rebuild any pressure containing equipment components.
Never install an SPM swivel elbow into an FMC triple step elbow – the SPM
male matches up with the FMC female but the load is not sufficiently supported
in all three ball races.
Never use the fatigue-resistant (FR) parts with the standard male end parts. The
use of these parts, or mixing of parts, can result in a line failure under pressure.
23.7.2 Inspector qualifications

Only use qualified inspectors to perform inspections on treating equipment.
To be deemed qualified, inspectors must:
• Have received formal training on this standard

• Be familiar with the specifications of the treating equipment that is to be
inspected
Private
• Have received formal training on the inspection equipment to be used

• Have evidence of an on-the-job assessment within the last 12 months by
a qualified supervisor or manager, demonstrating full understanding and

implementation of the relevant Well Services QHSE Standard 23 guidelines
and procedures.
23.7.2.1 Third-party inspectors

Only use third party inspectors that are prepared to follow all the requirements
in Well Services QHSE Standard 23. When correctly managed, the use
of competent third party inspectors is preferred. Well Services local line
management retains full responsibility for the complete implementation of Well
Services QHSE Standard 23.
23.7.3 Inspection equipment

Always use the equipment to perform inspections that is fit for the intended
purpose. Take into consideration the accuracy limits imposed by the
manufacturers before selecting equipment.
Never use equipment to perform inspections that is not current on the required
calibration and maintenance. Do not use equipment that has been damaged and
repaired, or modified locally, without the manufacturer's approval.
Calibrate inspection equipment using competent certification bodies. Ensure

documentation is available at the location to demonstrate that the equipment is
current on calibration. Calibrate equipment according to the following schedule:
Pressure gauges Annually

Ultrasonic wall Annually
thickness gauges Also perform and document a daily verification of the calibration using a
calibrated step block
Thread gauge kits Every 3 years
Other equipment According to the manufacturer's recommendations
If third party inspectors define shorter calibration time frames, follow their
schedule.
Private
Inspection process
23.7.4
Perform inspections in a systematic manner that follow the process in Figure

23-1, to ensure all applicable steps are completed for every inspection. Use
dedicated workstations for each step in the process.
Figure 23-1: Treating iron inspection flow chart
23.8 Inspection requirements

Inspect all treating components every 12 months unless required more often
based on the result of the following risk assessment.
Private
Perform the following risk assessment at least once a year, or more frequently if
job conditions change. The risk assessment can be performed separately for
different service lines within a district.
1. Answer the questions on the Conditions Questionnaire (Table 23-1) and

the Preparation Questionnaire (Table 23-2) by circling the correct answers
to the questions. If you are unsure of the correct answer, select an answer
with a higher risk.
2. Determine the Condition Level (-1 to -5) by noting the highest-ranked
column containing a circled answer. For example: even a single circled
answer in column -5 fixes the hazard at Level -5.
3. Determine the Preparation Level in the same manner as the Condition
Level.
4. Determine the risk code by referring to Figure 23-2. Select the square
corresponding to the Condition Level and the Preparation Level
determined on the questionnaires.
5. Based on the level of risk identified, and using the information in Table 23-3,
define the frequency of the treating equipment inspection.

23.8.1 Visual inspection

Thoroughly clean all components before performing the visual inspection.
Verify that the component was manufactured by an approved supplier as defined

in Well Services QHSE Standard 05: Wellsite Operations, in section 5.11.1. Also
ensure that the component has a serial number.
Remove from service and destroy any components from non-approved suppliers.
Perform a complete visual inspection to identify points of erosion, corrosion, or

external damage such as gouges or dents. Areas requiring special attention are
the ends of NPST connections, swivel elbows, and tee and lateral junctions.
Perform an ultrasonic thickness test in any specific area of concern on
components in addition to those areas required by this standard.
Examine closely the male and female union ends to detect the possibility of a
crack, particularly at the roots of the threads. Use Magnetic Particle Inspection
(MPI) to confirm the presence of a crack.
Inspect the condition of the lugs (also called ears) of the wing nut to see if
they can be dressed and still remain within acceptable limits. See Figure 23-3
(p. 23-11), part A.
23.8.2 Wall thickness test

Measure the wall thickness of all components using an ultrasonic thickness
tester. Each component of treating equipment has specific points of inspection
defined in the guidelines.
Remove from service and destroy any components that show a wall thickness
equal to or less than the defined minimum wall thickness.
If the measured wall thickness is within 10% of the minimum wall thickness,
evaluate the operating conditions of the component to determine a replacement
plan.
Private
23.8.3 Union inspection

Inspect all 1502 and 4-in 1002 unions using the appropriate gauge kits and
following procedure Well Services S23 P01: Using Gauge Kits for Inspection.
The gauge kit is used to check the following items:
• Thread condition and wear of the wing nut

• Thread condition and wear on the female thread half
• Wear on the backside of the male hub where the wing nut rests
• Wear of the wing nut segments
Remove from service and destroy any components that fail the thread gauge
inspection.
Inspect the ends of the NPST straight joints using the appropriate no-go gauge.
If the gauge enters the NPST straight joint at all, remove it from service and
destroy the joint.
23.8.3.1 Wing inspection

Grind down any damage on the lugs on the wings to the configuration shown
in Figure 23-3, part B. Remove any wings that have one or more lugs that are
damaged to the point shown in Figure 23-3, part C, or that are equal to or less
than the dimensions shown in Table 23-4.

Figure 23-4: FMC wing with forged datecode. The forged “14” means that after December 2014,
this wing must be inspected per Standard 23 and cannot be used for sensors or bullplugs.
The datecode is the last two digits of the year (such as 2014 for the wing above).
After December of that year, the wing can no longer be used on sensors or
bullplugs. It can be used with other treating equipment after passing inspection
per this standard and S23G12.
Note
A datecode of “10” has an expiry date of Dec 2014. The first run of coded wings
from 2010 has a manufactured date of “10” instead of an expiry date.
23.8.4 Non-destructive test

In some areas, local authorities or regulations may require the use of
non-destructive testing as part of the inspection of high-pressure equipment.
In these situations magnetic particle or dye penetration can be used.
Non-destructive testing of all components is not a requirement of this standard.
Remove from service and destroy any components that have cracks.
Private
23.8.5 Pressure test

Pressure test all treating equipment components to their maximum working

pressure a minimum of every 12 months, or more frequently based on the risk
assessment in section 23.8 (p. 23-6). Do not exceed the rated working pressure.
It is not a requirement of this standard to pressure test single-piece wellhead

components that cannot be attached easily to the testing apparatus, such as
flanged adapters, cement head quick coupling to casing adapters, and other
wellhead adapters.
Always test the equipment with water. Ensure that all the air has been removed.
23.8.5.1 Acceptance criteria for the pressure test

Consider the pressure test successful if it meets the following criteria:
• No visible leaks
• Pressure is stabilized and holds steady within +/- 2.5% of the rated working
pressure for at least 3 minutes.
If the pressure decreases from the initial test pressure and stabilizes, the
pressure can be increased one time to reach the rated working pressure.
23.8.5.2 Pressure testing equipment and safety requirements

Always use components to perform pressure testing that comply with this
standard and Well Services QHSE Standard 05.
Perform the pressure test using an air operated test pump. The type of test pump
recommended is a Haskel Model D14-125 or equivalent. Ensure that the pump
has a functional pressure relief valve, set and tested at no more than 500 psi
over the expected test pressure. Point the vent line from the relief valve toward
the ground or away from any personnel.
Except for the connection directly from the pump, do not use NPT connections
on the discharge side of the pump. Only use autoclave fittings.
Use pressure gauges such that the test pressure falls with in 25% to 75% of the
range of the gauge. Do not use gauges where the test pressure is being read on
the high or low end of the gauge range.
Private
Isolate the test area and protect the operator from the high-pressure components
in case of a line failure. Ensure that the operator sees the pressure gauge at
all times.
When a pressure-test bay is used, follow the requirements of Standardized OFS

Pressure Test Bay Design Module, InTouch content ID# 4454923. When a
pressure-test bay is not used for the testing, keep all non-involved personnel at
least 60 ft from the test area.
During testing, display a warning sign, in red, in English and the most common
local language, marked as follows:
DANGER - HIGH PRESSURE TEST KEEP CLEAR
Place notices in break rooms and dressing rooms to notify all personnel that
pressure testing is taking place.
23.8.6 Documentation
Fully document all inspections. Records of inspections are required to be
retained for the life of the equipment. Paper documentation is permitted
however electronic documentation is preferred. Regardless of which method of
documentation is used, the following information must be retained:
• Serial number
• Inspection date
• Results of all inspection steps performed:
– Visual inspection results

– Wall thickness readings
– Thread gauge pass or fail
– Pressure test chart
– Name of the person performing the inspection
– Clear indication if the component passed inspection or not
Each piece of treating equipment must be identified with a unique serial number.
This number will be associated with the component until it is removed from
service. Never reuse a serial number.
New FMC wings with a forged datecode do not need to be serialized when
placed in service if they there are used only on sensors or bullplugs and the
expiry date has not been reached.
Private
Potential Severity: Catastrophic

Potential Loss: Assets, Personnel, Process, Reputation

Hazard Category: Pressure
NEVER weld on treating equipment.
In addition to the above, all Pressure Containing Equipment Critical must have a
Certificate of Conformity (CoC) available at the district regardless of the date it
was purchased. Additionally, each CoC issued after July 31, 2011 shall contain
the following information as a minimum:
• Serial Number of the Pressure Containing Equipment Critical

• Description of the Pressure Containing Equipment Critical
• Schlumberger PO#
• Statement attesting that the product is manufactured to meet API Spec
6AVendor
• API Shop License # (as applicable).
23.8.7 Banding
Install a stainless-steel band on every piece of treating equipment. If location
requirements specify that a color-coded band is used, it must comply completely
with the color coding in Table 23-6. Where a band is not feasible (such as for
bull plugs, loose wings, valves etc), stamp the required information on the body
of the component. The following information is to be recorded on the band or
component:
• Serial number (example: 0123456789)

• Pressure rating (example: 15k)
• Type of service (standard or sour gas examples: STD, SG)
• Next inspection date (example: DD 0711).
Note
XXXing out of the old date on bands is not permitted. A new band is required
on all equipment. XXXing is permitted on component stamping.

November Brown P800
December Black P900
When treating equipment is placed in service for the first time, the next-inspection
due date (DD) can be calculated from the date the equipment is being placed in
service. For clarification: all used iron inspected will calculate the next-inspection
DD from the date of the inspection and not from the date it was put back into
service.
New FMC wings with a forged datecode do not need to be serialized or banded
when placed in service if they there are used only on sensors or bullplugs and
the expiry date has not been reached.
23.8.8 Painting
Before placing the treating equipment or component back into service paint
standard treating equipment Schlumberger Blue and paint flowback treating
equipment and components yellow. Always ensure that the information contained
on the band is readable and is not painted over.
Paint a 4-in (100-mm) colored band on the female end of the treating equipment
or component. Where it is not feasible to do this on items such as bull plugs,
valves, loose wings, etc, ensure that a visible band or stripe of the required
color is painted onto the equipment.
Private
The painted color band/stripe must comply with the color coding shown in Table
23-7. The quarter and year are determined by the quarter in which the next
inspection is required.
