SCOPE
This GENERAL NS-1™ specifies the minimum quality and inspection requirements applied to wrought Low Alloy
Steel Landing Nipples for Surface Controlled Subsurface Safety Valves, with Integral Hydraulic Port.

It applies to:

• SOUR service conditions, employing low alloy steel (e.g. 41XX).

• All sizes and Rated Working Pressure of 20.7 MPa (3,000 psi) through 103.4 MPa (15,000 psi) inclusive.

This NS-1™ shall be applied in conjunction with ISO 10432. If in conflict the requirements of this NS-1™ shall
prevail.

Design verification, and other design related parameters are specifically excluded from this NS-1™.

SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements are supplementary to, and shall be applied in conjunction with, the Quality Subspeci-
fications of this NS-1™:

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.

3. HARDNESS TESTING
(Ref. Sub-Spec. 70.1)

Hardness tests shall be carried out on each finished part, and shall meet the requirements of NACE MR0175.

4. HYDROSTATIC TESTING
(Ref. Sub-Spec. 100.2)

4.1 The hydrostatic test pressure shall be calculated by applying a fibre stress value of at least 80% of
the specified minimum yield strength.

4.2 Where the test pressure is limited by the threaded end connections, it shall be calculated using the
following formula:

P = (2 . f . Yp . t) / D

Where:
P = hydrostatic test pressure, in (MPa)
f = a factor of 0.8 of specified minimum yield strength
Yp = specified yield strength for the pipe body (MPa)
t = nominal design wall thickness adjacent to thread connection (mm)
D = nominal outside diameter of the connecting thread (mm)

4.3 As a minimum, the hydrostatic test pressure shall not be less than the equipment rated working
pressure.

4.4 Test pressure shall be held for not less than five seconds. Ten percent (10%) of the order quantity,
with a minimum of one (1) shall be held at test pressure for not less than ten (10) minutes. 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.

4.5 There shall be no leakage or reduction in indicated pressure.
