The Subdrill DSV™ Test Stand provides a quick, easy, pre-defined and safe method of testing Drill Stem Valves prior to installation in the string, without requiring the Rotary Table, Rig Tongs or Iron Roughneck.

Now standard protocol with a number of drilling contractors, the Subdrill DSV Test Stand has been designed with speed, efficiency and safety in mind. By utilising the DSV™ Test Stand, Drill Stem Valve testing can be carried out quickly and safely off-line in parallel with BOP testing or drilling. In addition, it is estimated that the operator will save approximately 2-3 hours during a routine rig BOP test.
