S.C.S.S.V. Leakage Rate

This document contains a formula for calculating leakage rates of SCSSVs and plugs, along with tubing specifications. The API formula is provided to calculate leakage rate (Q) based on pressure increase (DP), test time (DT), and tubing volume (V) above the valve or plug. Tubing sizes from 2 3/8" to 4 1/2" are listed with weights, internal volumes, and example leakage rate calculations.
