I would like to learn what's difference on underwater safety valve (USV), surface safety valve (SSV), sub-surface safety valve (SSSV) and subsea valve. I am working on a design for underwater safety valve to follow up API 6A application, how to set up the depth of water? if the all calculation will be same as surface safety valve (SSV)?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
