Full-open valve is the best performing valve available for the tough conditions seen in today’s drilling environment. The single-piece, solid-body construction of this valve provides the strength and rigidity needed for high-pressure drilling operations in the 5,000- to 7,500-psi (34.5- to 51.7-MPa) range. Both the valve and the seat are manufactured from heat treated, forged-alloy steel.
The forged, solid valve-body construction, of this valve, with thick, rigid seat, provides durability at high pressures.
• The streamlined valve guide legs reduce turbulent flow through the valve for improved performance.
• The seat design simplifies maintenance and evenly distributes pressure loads around the fluid-cylinder valve taper.
• Various insert styles and materials are available to suit any drilling condition.
• Carbon-steel valve springs are standard. A long-life, stainless-steel upgrade is available.
• Large metal-bearing area on the valve seat seal surface promotes longer service life.
