Float valves
About the product
Float valves are placed in the drill string to prevent backflow of drilling fluid and pressure waves towards the surface. They act as a non-return valve and protect the interior of the string during circulation or in the event of a kick.
Deep Drill supplies various types of float valves, tailored to your drilling conditions and desired flow characteristics. Our valves are suitable for high pressures, speeds and chemically aggressive drilling fluids.
Float valves are available for hire and sale and are supplied with test certificates.
