1. Development of a specification
API 10 F Float Equipment
Development of a specification

2. History Work Group formed during winter meeting – 2012
Initial Meeting – April 2012
16 participants –
5 manufacturers
6 operators
3 service companies
2 consultants

3. History Current Document
Performance Testing of Cementing Performance Equipment
Scope of Work Group
Develop a specification for testing of cementing float equipment to allow for monogramming of the equipment.

4. Work in Developing the Specification
Changed current equipment naming convention to more user friendly designations
Increased number of categories for time for forward flow, flow rates, temperatures and pressures. Includes designations for autofill equipment
Established performance pass / fail requirements
- evaluates allowable volume of fluid that may pass through the closed equipment during a back pressure test

5. Areas Specified
All evaluation areas have established criteria (+ / - values) which yields an auditable criteria
Flow Rates Flow period
Pressures Temperatures
Equipment Orientation Test Fluid Properties

6. Other Requirements Standard Reporting Form
Photos of equipment following testing
Requirement for a 5 year Cycle
A Design and Development Review, Verification, and Validation according to API Specification Q1 shall be conducted at least once every five years.

7. Where are we? Document has been through three letter ballot rounds
No negative responses for last two ballots
Learned at June 2016 meeting that Monogramming of the equipment would not be allowed
Meeting with Austin Freeman to discuss reasons for decision

8. Why no Monogram? Performance Specification
Lacks material specifications
No scaling statement

9. Proposed Additions
Require material of construction to be specified in the quality document attached to the monogram
Requirement already in place to report material of construction on report form
Statement on what constitutes a change
Alteration of holding systems for valves
Changes in materials
Include scaling statement within the specification
Allows scaling without additional testing
Similar to other specifications

10. Where do we go ?
Are the proposed additions and changes sufficient to allow for application of the monogram
If not, what is required
