Full title and description

ISO 10432:2004 — Petroleum and natural gas industries — Downhole equipment — Subsurface safety valve equipment. This International Standard specifies minimum acceptable requirements for subsurface safety valves (SSSVs) and the components that affect their performance and interchangeability.

Abstract

ISO 10432:2004 provides minimum acceptable requirements for subsurface safety valves (SSSVs). It covers SSSVs and components that establish tolerances and/or clearances which may affect performance or interchangeability, and addresses repair operations and interface connections to flow-control or other equipment while excluding connections to the well conduit; redress activities are explicitly outside its scope.

Key bibliographic and lifecycle details above are taken from the ISO record for ISO 10432:2004; the publication was last reviewed and confirmed in 2022 and therefore the 2004 edition remains the current ISO publication.

Scope

Defines requirements for SSSV equipment used in petroleum and natural gas production. The standard applies to SSSVs and associated components that affect valve performance or interchangeability, and it addresses repair operations and interface connections to flow-control equipment. It does not cover the connections to the well conduit and explicitly excludes redress activities. ISO 10432 is focused on equipment specification rather than system-level installation practices (the related ISO 10417 deals with systems, design and installation).

Key topics and requirements

• Minimum acceptable performance and design requirements for subsurface safety valves (SSSVs).
• Specification of components, tolerances and clearances that affect valve performance and interchangeability.
• Requirements and guidance related to repair operations for SSSV equipment (repair scope as defined within the standard).
• Interface and connection requirements to flow-control and related equipment (connections to the well conduit are excluded).
• Reference to lifecycle and conformity considerations (inspection, testing and documentation requirements implied by equipment specification).

The items above summarize the principal technical content and obligations placed on manufacturers and service providers by the standard.

Typical use and users

Primary users are oil and gas operators, SSSV manufacturers, completion and well-intervention service companies, testing laboratories, and regulatory or conformity-assessment bodies concerned with well integrity and downhole safety equipment. Industry vendors and service companies commonly reference ISO 10432 alongside API and other industry documents when designing, testing and qualifying subsurface safety valves.

Related standards

Closely related documents include ISO 10417:2004 (Subsurface safety valve systems — design, installation, operation and redress) which addresses system-level matters and references between the two standards are explicit; industry API specifications and recommended practices for SSSVs (for example API Spec 14A and related API guidance) are also commonly used alongside ISO 10432 in practice. ISO 10432 superseded earlier editions from 1993 and 1999.

Keywords

subsurface safety valve, SSSV, downhole equipment, well integrity, petroleum and natural gas, valve interchangeability, repair, inspection, ISO/TC 67/SC 4.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10432:2004 is an ISO International Standard that specifies minimum acceptable requirements for subsurface safety valves (SSSVs) used in petroleum and natural gas operations.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers SSSV equipment and components that affect performance or interchangeability, repair operations as defined in the standard, and interface connections to flow-control or other equipment; it excludes connections to the well conduit and does not cover redress activities.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Operators, equipment manufacturers, completions and intervention service companies, test and inspection bodies, and regulatory or conformity-assessment organizations concerned with downhole valve safety and specification. Industry vendors also reference the standard alongside API specifications.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2004 edition (Edition 3) is published and — according to ISO’s lifecycle record — was last reviewed and confirmed in 2022, so the 2004 edition remains the current ISO publication. Earlier editions (1999, 1993) were withdrawn and replaced by the 2004 edition.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes. ISO 10432 is part of a set of ISO documents addressing subsurface safety valves and downhole equipment under ISO/TC 67/SC 4; ISO 10417:2004 is a closely related standard that covers SSSV systems (design, installation, operation and redress). Industry standards such as API Spec 14A are also commonly used in conjunction.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Subsurface safety valve (SSSV), downhole equipment, valve specification, interchangeability, repair, well integrity, petroleum and natural gas.
