EVS-EN ISO 17078-2:2008

This part of ISO 17078 provides requirements for subsurface flow-control devices used in side-pocket mandrels (hereafter called flow-control devices) intended for use in the worldwide petroleum and natural gas industry. This includes requirements for specifying, selecting, designing, manufacturing, quality-control, testing and preparation for shipping of flow-control devices. Additionally, it includes information regarding performance testing and calibration procedures. The installation and retrieval of flow-control devices is outside the scope of this part of ISO 17078. Additionally, this part of ISO 17078 is not applicable to flow-control devices used in centre-set mandrels or with tubingretrievable applications. This part of ISO 17078 does not include requirements for side-pocket mandrels, running, pulling, and kickover tools, and latches that might or might not be covered in other ISO specifications. Reconditioning of used flow-control devices is outside of the scope of this part of ISO 17078.
