SCOPE
This COMBINED NS-1™ specification specifies the minimum quality and inspection requirements to be applied in
the manufacture of Wrought Low Alloy Steel Production Packers – Tubing Retrievable.
It applies to:
• SOUR service conditions, employing low alloy steel (e.g. 41XX).

• All operating temperatures.
• All sizes and Rated Working Pressures(RWP = Max Differential Pressure from Above, Below and Internal.)
The matrix of this COMBINED NS-1™ provides a quality template that can be applied to any make and type of
Production Packer (Tubing Retrievable). This COMBINED NS-1™ specification in combination with the manu-
facturer’s parts list(s) and drawing(s) completes the product quality specification.
When ordering spare parts or sub-assemblies, the applicable quality requirements shall be those specified for
the components supplemented by the relevant requirements called out for the complete assembly.
Design verification, approval and other design related parameters are specifically excluded from this COMBINED
NS-1™ specification
NS 1 Page 2
SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements are supplementary to, and shall be applied in conjunction with, the Quality Subspeci-
fications specified in the matrix of this COMBINED NS-1™ specification:
1. WELDING
No fabrication welding shall be performed.
No repair welding shall be performed.
2. MATERIAL TESTING
(Ref. Sub-Spec. 10.1 & Sub-Spec. 10.4)
2.1 Chemical Analysis

Chemical analysis shall be carried out on a heat basis-demonstrating conformance to the
manufacturer’s applicable material specification for all elements contained therein.
2.2 Mechanical Testing

Mechanical testing to ASTM A370 shall, as a minimum, establish yield strength, tensile strength,
elongation and reduction in area on a heat basis, representative of any heat treatment that may have
been applied.
Note: Reduction in area is not required on cast steel materials.
3. HARDNESS TESTING
(Ref. Sub-Spec. 70.1)
3.1 Hardness tests shall be carried out on each finished part, and shall meet the requirements of NACE
MR-01-75.
3.2 Hardness testing of parts may be carried out at an earlier stage of machining in the following cases:
i. Where the diameter to wall thickness ratio is such that it can adversely affect the accuracy of the
hardness measurements.
ii. Where hardness testing would destroy the finished part.
4. SURFACE HARDENING – SLIPS

4.1 Surface Hardening Procedure Specifications
Surface hardening shall be performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s documented surface
hardening procedure.
NS 1 Page 3
The manufacturer’s surface hardening procedure specifications shall describe all the essential
variables and controls pertinent to the special process, including as a minimum:
• The material grade, including chemical analysis and mechanical properties of the slip(s). The
material grade, chemical analysis and mechanical properties of the flat test specimen(s), when
utilised, shall be identical to the slip(s).
• The specified dimensions of the slip(s) being qualified. The flat test specimen, when utilised,
shall be representative of the slip(s) dimensions.
• Surface hardening method (i.e. heat treatment process, temperature, time etc.).
• Process verification; Time, temperature, technique for measuring surface hardness, case depth
and core hardness and acceptance criteria.
Upon request, the manufacturer shall demonstrate that the surface hardening procedure meets the
design requirements of the product.
If the manufacturer desires to use a flat test specimen in place of a sacrificial production slip then the
surface hardening procedure shall be qualified per 4.2 to verify that the flat test specimen provides an
accurate representation of the actual slip(s) properties.
4.2 Flat Test Specimen Qualification Tests
For each type and size of slip utilised, a representative (corresponding) flat test specimen shall be
included with the same surface hardened batch.
Each slip and its corresponding flat test specimen shall be cross sectioned (metallographic method)
and micro hardness tested to determine the surface hardness, case depth and core hardness.
The results of both the slip tests and flat specimen tests shall meet the specified surface hardness,
core hardness and case depth, and shall not differ from each other by more than 2 RC points nor
more than 10% depth of hardness.
Procedure qualification test records shall be made available on request.
4.3 Production Slips
Each production batch of slips shall be verified to meet the requirements of the manufacturer’s
specification.
When a flat test specimen is used, it shall be processed with the production batch of slips and
verified to meet the acceptance criteria of the manufacturer’s specification.
The minimum surface hardness requirement for either the slip or the flat test specimen shall be 52
RC (77 HRA).

5. COMPLETE ASSEMBLY TESTING

5.1 The internal parts of each assembled packer shall be hydrostatically tested. During testing a locking
device shall be applied to the packer to prevent activation of the main sealing unit. Hydrostatic
testing shall be carried out to the manufacturer’s procedures and specifications with the following
minimum requirements:
The hydrostatic test shall consist of three parts:
• the primary pressure holding period of 3 minutes minimum duration.
• reduction of the pressure to zero.
• the secondary pressure holding period of 5 minutes minimum duration.
The timing of the holding periods shall not start until the test pressure has stabilized, the equipment
and measuring devices have been isolated from the pressure source and the external surfaces of the
equipment thoroughly dried.
There shall be no leakage or reduction in indicated pressure.
5.2 Test Pressures
5.2.1 The hydrostatic test pressure shall not be less than the packers internal rated working pressure
(i.e. the maximum internal differential pressure).
5.2.2 Should the packer design prohibit utilisation of test fixtures to prevent packer activation,
sub-assembly testing shall be conducted where feasible to the full rated working pressure, or a
lower ’PLUGGED’ TEST pressure rating as defined below.
Subsequently the assembled packer shall be tested to 80% of the minimum packer activation
pressure. For packer designs that have a lower ’PLUGGED’ TEST pressure rating than the
working pressure rating, then the packer should be tested to the packers ’PLUGGED’ TEST
pressure rating. In such cases both the working pressure and the ’PLUGGED’ TEST pressure
rating shall be clearly identified on both the packer and the associated documentation.
INFORMATIVE NOTE:
Definition of ’PLUGGED’ TEST pressure rating: A pressure rating which does not exceed the
internal yield rating or the tensile rating of the connecting members.
NS 1 Page 5
6. FUNCTIONAL TESTING
6.1 Functional testing shall be carried out to the manufacturer’s specification but shall include the
following as a minimum:
• Each packer assembly shall be internally drifted throughout its entire length using a cylindrical
drift mandrel.
• The drift mandrel shall conform with the size and tolerances (i.e. length and diameter
requirements) specified in ISO 11960, latest revision, unless otherwise specified in the purchase
order.
Note: The above drifting requirements do not apply to hone bore permanent packers. The
dimensions of the honed bore shall be verified in accordance with Quality Sub-Spec. 90.1.
