Safety Valve Sizing MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate SSSV dimensions, flow coefficients, and pressure drops.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for sizing Subsurface Safety Valves (SSSV). It allows engineers to determine the required calculate_valve_id to accommodate specific flow rates, calculate the calculate_flow_coefficient for existing valves, and predict energy loss using calculate_pressure_drop. It also includes validate_well_safety_margin to ensure operating conditions respect erosion velocity and pressure limits.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_flow_coefficient

Calculates the valve's flow coefficient based on existing physical parameters

calculate_pressure_drop

Predicts the energy loss (pressure reduction) as fluid passes through a valve of a known size

calculate_valve_id

You can optionally provide an erosion velocity limit. Determines the required internal diameter of the SSSV to accommodate a specific flow rate without exceeding safety limits

validate_well_safety_margin

Checks if the current valve configuration meets safety requirements regarding erosion and pressure limits

What is the required valve ID for a liquid flow of 500 units at 2000 psi upstream?

The required minimum internal diameter is 2.45 inches with an expected velocity of 12.3 ft/s.

Calculate the pressure drop for a 3-inch valve with a flow rate of 1000 and upstream pressure of 3000.

The predicted pressure drop is 150 psi, resulting in a downstream pressure of 2850 psi.

Is my current valve configuration safe for a flow rate of 800 and an erosion limit of 50?

Yes, the configuration is safe with a safety margin of 15.2.

You can use the `calculate_valve_id` tool by providing the flow rate, fluid type, and upstream pressure.
