Product Overview: The Surface Safety Valve (SSV) is an essential ground-level emergency shutdown safety system designed to protect wellhead infrastructure and secure oil and natural gas production and transportation. Available in both hydraulic and pneumatic actuation modes, this API 6A certified valve provides fail-safe, immediate shutdown capability under severe operating pressures up to 20,000 PSI.
Key Features & Advantages:
Fail-Safe Automatic Protection: Engineered to rapidly isolate wellheads and manifolds during pressure anomalies, system failures, or surface emergencies.
Dual Actuation Options: Available in pneumatic and hydraulic configurations to integrate seamlessly with existing emergency shutdown (ESD) control panels.
Sour Service & Harsh Media Compatible: Built for heavy-duty exposure to crude oil, natural gas, drilling mud, and highly corrosive H₂S and CO₂ sour environments.
Severe Temperature Resilience: Operates dependably across extreme temperature ranges from -46°C to +121°C (LU Temperature Class).
API Spec 6A Certified: Complies with strict industry standards across PSL1 to PSL4 specification levels.
