TRMAXX Surface-Controlled Subsurface Safety Valves

Name: TRMAXX
Brand: 果冻传媒

Overview

General service, self-equalizing, premium rod-piston flapper valves

TRMAXX™ surface-controlled subsurface safety valves are hydraulically actuated from surface by using a control line to transmit hydraulic signals to the valve. These tubing-pressure sensitive, standard spring valves have been rigorously tested and qualified per the requirements of API Spec 14A. They are suitable for a range of subsurface environments, including both

The robust design of TRMAXX valves is optimized for reliability and longevity. The premium dynamic seals of the hydraulic actuator enable seamless operation. Nonelastomeric rod-piston seals and static end stops ensure the pressure integrity of the hydraulic system whether the valve is in the open or closed position. A field-proven metal-to-metal flapper closure mechanism is used to isolate the wellbore, controlling flow to surface when closed.

FAQs

How are the valves qualified?

The valves are validated to API Spec 14A V1-R, but their performance exceeds the certification requirements.

Flapper leakage: API Spec 14A allows leakage up to 5 ft³/min. The acceptance criterion for TRMAXX safety valve flapper systems is 150 times more stringent.

Hydraulic actuator integrity: API Spec 14A allows up to 5% drop in applied hydraulic pressure; for 10,000-psi hydraulic pressure, the acceptable leakage is 500 psi. TRMAXX safety valve actuators allow <1% drop, as confirmed by rigorous tests.

Slam closure: The valve's flapper system has been successfully slam tested at high flow rates that exceed the Annex K requirements of API Spec 14A.
