Product & Technical <strong>Data</strong><strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Brayco</strong> <strong>Micronic</strong> LV/200Synthetic subsea production control fluidDescription<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Brayco</strong> <strong>Micronic</strong> LV/200 is a low viscosity third generation synthetichydrocarbon control fluid specifically formulated for use as the control mediumin subsea and surface production control systems. The product meets theenvironmental requirements for use in closed loop subsea production controlsystems.<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Brayco</strong> <strong>Micronic</strong> LV/200 has been developed and qualified under asystem with ISO 9001 accreditation for Research and Development.ApplicationThe fluid incorporates all the features that are required for operation in a widerange of equipment and are stable for operation at the high temperaturesfound in the well bore. <strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Brayco</strong> <strong>Micronic</strong> LV/200 is currently rated foruse at 200°C, making it suitable for use in High Pressure/High Temperaturewell heads and down-hole choke applications.<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Brayco</strong> <strong>Micronic</strong> LV/200 represents a significant development insynthetic hydrocarbon control fluid technology, having a viscosityapproximately 50% lower than previous <strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Brayco</strong> <strong>Micronic</strong> subseacontrol fluids.<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Brayco</strong> <strong>Micronic</strong> LV/200 is fully compatible and miscible in allproportions with the <strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Brayco</strong> <strong>Micronic</strong> SV/200, 864HT/200 and 865grades. However it should be appreciated that any mixture containing <strong>Castrol</strong><strong>Brayco</strong> <strong>Micronic</strong> LV/200 will have an intermediate lower viscosity, and thismay affect system response characteristics.<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Brayco</strong> <strong>Micronic</strong> LV/200 must never be mixed with control fluids ofdifferent base types such as water glycol based fluids (e.g. <strong>Castrol</strong> TransaquaHT) or mineral oils (such as the <strong>Castrol</strong> Hyspin range). Contamination of<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Brayco</strong> <strong>Micronic</strong> LV/200 by either of these types of products willseriously affect the product performance.Visit our Website for more information – www.castrolsubsea.comReference: PD/LV/02 1 of 6

As with all elastomer compatibility testing, performance of materials can varybetween manufacturers. The data reported above refer to “standard”compounds recognised by industry. In critical applications it is advisable tocarry out additional testing on specific materials obtained from the componentmanufacturer.Seal Materials to be avoidedEthylene Propylene rubbers (EPR, EPDM) are not compatible with <strong>Castrol</strong><strong>Brayco</strong> <strong>Micronic</strong> LV/200. These materials must be changed out fromequipment that is to be used with <strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>Brayco</strong> <strong>Micronic</strong> SV/200.Health and SafetyThe wearing of impervious PVC (or other suitable material) apron and gloves,together with eye protection is recommended. Contaminated clothing shouldbe changed immediately and thoroughly cleansed before re-use. This appliesespecially to under garments.Material safety data sheets are available for all <strong>Castrol</strong> subsea products fromwww.castroloffshore.comOr by contacting the address below.<strong>Castrol</strong> Offshore, Pipers Way, Swindon, Wiltshire SN3 1RE, England.,Telephone: Enquiries+44 (0)1793 512712, Technical Enquiries +44 (0)118 984 3311, Fax +44(0)1793 453218DisclaimerAll reasonable care has been taken to ensure that the information containedin this publication is accurate as at the date of printing.
