API 17F for Surface Equipment Qualification
API 17F for Surface Equipment Qualification
(OP)
Hello All,
I see that the Testing section (section#9)of API 17F standard specifically states below
"The following requirements are only applicable to subsea equipment"
My question is where can I find the qualification test requirements for the Surface equipment? This is strange because the above sections of the standard discuss about the design of surface equipment, however, the testing section doesn't list out the qualification requirements for the same.
Can anyone throw some light on this please?
Thanks
karthik

In other words, while API 17F gives some requirements for the surface equipment, such equipment is to be designed, built, and tested to other standards.

Thanks for the response.
Now that it is clear that API 17F doesnt have a whole lot of test requirements for the surface equipment, I will try and find other applicable standards that can detail the testing requirements for surface control equipment
Thanks
