Interventek’s 20K Revolution Valve Passes API-17G Shear and Seal Qualification
Interventek's 20,000psi In-Riser Shear and Seal Revolution Valve

FrontRow's associate company, Interventek Subsea Engineering, has successfully completed the current API-17G specification shear and seal test procedure with their new 20k (20,000psi) subsea in-riser Revolution valve. The testing fulfilled the requirements for Service Specification Level (SSL) liquid and gas.

Independently witnessed and verified, the trials demonstrated the safety valve was able to surpass the challenging demands of the imminent API-17G standards for a wireline/ coiled tubing class shear and seal valve. The valve successfully completed six cut sequences comprising slickline, braided cable and coiled tubing with braided cable, followed by low and high-pressure liquid and gas seat tests after each sequence. The full test program was completed with no disassembly or redress at any point.
