Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
This International Standard was developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore
structures for petroleum and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 4, Drilling and production equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10432:1993) and includes the changes in API 14A,
ninth edition, 1994, and its Supplement dated December 1997.
Annex B and Annex E form a normative part of this International Standard. Annexes A, C, D and F are for
information only.

Introduction
This International Standard has been developed by users/purchasers and suppliers/manufacturers of subsurface
safety valve equipment intended for use in the petroleum and natural gas industry worldwide. This International
Standard is intended to give requirements and information to both parties in the selection, manufacture, testing and
use of subsurface safety valve equipment. Further, this International Standard addresses requirements that set the
minimum parameters with which the supplier/manufacturer must comply to claim conformity with this standard.
Users of this International Standard should be aware that further or differing requirements might be needed for
individual applications. This International Standard is not intended to inhibit a supplier/manufacturer from offering, or
the user/purchaser from accepting, alternative equipment or engineering solutions. This may be particularly
applicable where there is innovative or developing technology. Where an alternative is offered, the
supplier/manufacturer should identify any variations from this International Standard and provide details.
Upon publication of ISO 16070, Petroleum and natural gas industries — Downhole equipment — Lock mandrels
and landing nipples, as an International Standard, the requirements for lock mandrels and landing nipples in this
International Standard 10432 will be superseded.

equipment — Subsurface safety valve equipment
1 Scope
This International Standard was formulated to provide the minimum acceptable requirements for subsurface safety
valve (SSSV) equipment. It covers subsurface safety valves, safety valve locks, safety valve landing nipples and all
components that establish tolerances and/or clearances which may affect performance or interchangeability of the
SSSV equipment. Safety valve locks, safety valve landing nipples and SSSVs manufactured by different facilities or
manufacturers may be supplied as separate items.
NOTE Limits: The subsurface safety valve is an emergency safety device, and is not intended or designed for operational
activities, such as production/injection reduction, production stop, or as a backflow valve.

for a period of ten years after SSSVs of that size, model and type are discontinued from the manufacturer's product
line. SSSV equipment conforming to this International Standard shall be manufactured to drawings and
specifications that are substantially the same as those of the SSSV equipment that has passed the verification test.

Design requirements shall include but not be limited to those criteria for size, test and operating pressures, material,
environmental and other pertinent requirements upon which the design is based. Design documentation shall be
clear, legible, reproducible and retrievable.
4.2.3  Design documentation shall be reviewed and verified by a qualified individual other than the individual who
created the original design.
4.2.4  Changes to the design acceptance criteria which may affect verification test performance or interchange-

ISO 10432:1999(E)
4.2.5  SSSV equipment manufactured in accordance with this International Standard shall conform to one or more
of the following classes of service:
 Class 1: standard service. This class of SSSV equipment is intended for use in wells which do not exhibit the
detrimental effects caused by sand or corrosive agents.
 Class 2: sandy service. This class of SSSV equipment is intended for use in wells where a substance such as
sand could be expected to cause SSSV equipment failure. Class 2 SSSV equipment shall also meet the
requirements for Class 1 service.
 Class 3: stress corrosion cracking service. This class of SSSV equipment is intended for use in wells where
corrosive agents could be expected to cause stress corrosion cracking. Class 3 equipment shall meet the
requirements for Class 1 or Class 2 and be manufactured from materials which are resistant to stress corrosion
cracking. Within this service class, there are two divisions, 3S for sulfide stress cracking service and 3C (see
note) for chloride stress cracking service. Metallic materials, suitable for a 3S environment, shall be in
accordance with NACE MR0175.
NOTE Metallic materials suitable for Class 3C service are dependent on specific well conditions. No national or
international standards exist for the application of metallic materials for this class of service.
 Class 4: weight loss corrosion service. This class of SSSV equipment is intended for use in wells where
corrosive agents could be expected to cause weight loss corrosion. Class 4 equipment shall meet the
requirements for Class 1 or Class 2 and be manufactured from materials which are resistant to weight loss
corrosion (see note).
NOTE Metallic materials suitable for Class 4 service are dependent on specific well conditions. No national or international
standards exist for the application of metallic materials for this class of service.
4.3 Functional considerations
SSSV design shall permit prediction and repeatability of rates, pressures or other conditions required for closure.
4.4 Design considerations
4.4.1  The manufacturer shall establish rated working pressures of SSSV equipment within the requirements of this
International Standard. These rated working pressures are commonly 20,7 MPa, 34,5 MPa, 41,4 MPa, 69,0 MPa
and 103,5 MPa (3 000 psi, 5 000 psi, 6 000 psi, 10 000 psi and 15 000 psi). Temperature effects on all the materials
used in the manufacture of SSSV equipment shall be considered in establishing the rated working pressure. The
design shall take into account the effects of pressure containment and pressure-induced loads. Specialized
conditions shall also be considered such as pressure testing with temporary test plugs.
4.4.2  The manufacturer shall establish internal yield pressure, collapse pressure and minimum tensile strength
ratings, excluding end connections.
4.4.3  SSSV equipment design shall take into consideration the effects of temperature gradients and thermal cycles
on all components. The upper temperature limit shall be the lowest high-temperature rating of any component of the
SSSV. The lower temperature limit shall be the highest low-temperature rating of any component of the SSSV.
Derating of metal mechanical properties shall be in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code
Section II, Part D, Material Properties.
4.4.4  SSSV equipment design shall take into account the effects of retained fluid(s) on all components. SSSV
equipment design shall consider the effects of sand, chlorides, corrosion inhibitors and other chemicals routinely
encountered in oil and gas production.
4.4.5  Component and subassembly interchangeability shall be required within each manufacturer's service class,
size, type and model, including pressure rating of SSSV equipment. This shall extend to all facilities of the
manufacturer. Components shall be designed or identified to avoid the use of non-interchangeable parts.
4.4.6  Additive dimensional tolerance shall be such that proper operation of the SSSV equipment is assured. This
requirement applies to factory-assembled equipment and to replacement components.
