 Application Basics
Maximum Fail-Safe Setting Depth
FC - FS
FSSD =
MFG

Schlumberger Private
Where: *FS = 0.15FC
FSSD = The fail-safe setting depth of the valve.
FC = The minimum closing pressure in psi.
FS = The safety factor in psi.
(*The safety factor should never be less than 75
psi)
MFG = The Maximum fluid gradient in psi/ft.

 Application Basics
Recommended Hydraulic Pressure
Minimum recommended Hydraulic Operating Pressure (Surface)

Where: PSO (min) = Pt + Po + Psf - Ph

PSO (min) = Minimum Recommended Hydraulic.

Schlumberger Private
Operating Pressure
(surface)
Pt = Tubing pressure at valve depth.
Po = Opening pressure (zero bore)
Psf = Safety Factor to ensure valve is fully open
(400 psi)
Ph = Pressure of the hydraulic fluid.
