Test<strong>in</strong>g and ma<strong>in</strong>tenance:<br />

The <strong>valve</strong>s are not tested. A well workover is required for replacement.<br />

Failures regard<strong>in</strong>g leakage through<br />

the <strong>valve</strong>s and external leakage.<br />

The distribution of failure modes is<br />

Comments and leakage paths:<br />

The external leakage of these <strong>valve</strong>s is through the material, actua<strong>to</strong>r or seals and <strong>to</strong> the<br />

surround<strong>in</strong>gs. Internal leakage goes thru the <strong>valve</strong>.<br />
