Free sample question from API 617
Sections of an API 617 casing are approved for testing at different pressures. What does the standard then require?
- A. Independent tests only
- B. Independent tests of each section, each held for a minimum of thirty minutes without leaks or seepage
- C. One test with every section held at its own pressure at the same moment ✓
- D. A single test at the highest of the section pressures applied simultaneously across the whole casing
- E. A combined test followed by an independent retest of any section that showed seepage past a closure
Approve testing of casing sections at different pressures and the test still happens in one go: every section pressurized to its own figure at the same moment. API 610 allows the sections to be taken separately instead. API 617, 8.3.2.7
