DRILL PIPE FLOAT VALVES
Baker SPD manufactures a complete line of float valves, repair kits, and puller assemblies to accommodate a
wide range of drilling situations and operating conditions, including H2S and steam service. These Drill Pipe
Float Valves provide added blowout protection at the bottom of the drillstring, prevent flowback when joints are
added, and keep cuttings out of the drillpipe to prevent bit plugging while making connections.
Baker SPD
MODEL F DRILL PIPE FLOAT VALVES
BAKER SPD MODEL F VALVES

BENEFITS AND FEATURES
A fast-acting plunger valve opens when the kelly is pulled out of the hole, then closes, eliminating breakage of
a wet joint. The plunger type valve also prevents flowback when adding joints and keeps cuttings out of the drill
pipe, preventing bit plugging while making connections. The likelihood of having to pull a wet string with its
attendant safety hazards and expensive down time is eliminated.
CONSTRUCTED FOR LONG LIFE

Models F and FC Drill Pipe Float Valves are made of low carbon steel suitable for most applications including
H2S conditions. It is designed and constructed with minimum number of parts-all highly resistant to wear to give
long trouble-free service.
EASILY SERVICED
Normally, the only service required is replacement of the valve seal. This can be accomplished in seconds without special tools. The valve guide at the lower end of the valve stem is simply raised, compressing the spring
and allowing for removal of the entire inner portion of the valve. Baker SPD Drill Pipe Float Valves are easily
installed by simply lubricating the side seals and sliding them into the cavity in the float sub or drilled out drill
collar. Care must be taken in positioning the float valve in the drilling string. If it is placed too far from the top of
the hole and the pipe is not filled while running in, hydrostatic pressure could cause damage to the drill pipe or
the float valve. If the pipe is filled while running in, the float valve can be placed just above the bit, if desired.
BAKER SPD NOW OFFERS TWO NEW DRILL PIPE FLOAT VALVE CONFIGURATIONS
The Model FA offers all the standard features of the Model F Float Valve with the added feature of a port which
allows a fluid path through the center of the valve. This feature allows for an automatic partial filling of the drill
pipe during run in. This valve is used when monitoring the bit head for gas pressure and/or gas pockets, allowing
measurement of differential pressure when required. The Model FA is available in all sizes.
The Model FI also offers all the standard features of the Model F Float Valve with the added feature of an integral
baffle plate at the top of the float valve. For operations where a baffle plate is always used for instrumentation
or fluid control the integral baffle plate configuration offers and economical option. The Model FI is only available
in sizes 4R and 5F-6R.

MODEL FC AUTOMATIC FILL VALVE

The Model FC Automatic Fill Valve is ideal to use when
drilling deep wells. The automatic feature on the
Model FC allows the drillpipe to fill from the bottom,
thereby removing the mess, hazards, and lost time from
filling. When running in the hole, the automatic fill feature
eliminates the ram effect preventing the downhole
pressure surges that can cause formation damage.
The Model FC is slotted on the stem to accept a low
carbon automatic fill key assembly that is automatically
released by fluid circulation releasing the plunger for
complete closure.

The Heavy Duty Model F Drill Pipe Float Valve is

designed with a high alloy steel body that increases the lift
of the Drill Pipe Float Valve. It provides high impact resistance and is dimensionally identical to the standard Baker
Drill Pipe Float Valve, allowing interchangeability of the
trim. This type of Drill Pipe Float Valve is recommended
for use with downhole mud motors.
Baker SPD
MODEL G DRILL PIPE FLOAT VALVES
BAKER SPD MODEL G VALVES

BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Flapper Valves for G Models are made of normalized, carburized, quenched, and tempered alloy steel to resist
wear and erosion. The flapper valve opens fully during circulation providing an unrestricted bore through the
valve thereby effectively prolonging the life of the valve and drill collar as there is no diversion of fluid against
the drill collar ID.
CONSTRUCTED FOR LONG LIFE

Dampeners have been provided at the three most common points of wear due to vibration. The shock absorber
has been placed at the bottom of the valve cage to prevent valve to bit wear. The flapper valve is provided with
a resilient bumper to prevent wear between it and the valve cage or drill collar ID. The hinge pin is coated to
protect against wear from vibration. Like all Baker SPD Drill Pipe Float Valves, G Models are designed for long
life, fast installation, (no tools are required), and trouble free operation.
EASILY SERVICED
Particular attention should be given to the hinge pin, spring, and rubber parts. Since the seal is not in the fluid
flow pattern it receives little wear and seldom is replaced. When replacing the seal, the handle of the float valve
puller may be used to remove the seal retainer, and after installation of a new seal, used to reinstall the seal
retainer. To remove, insert the handle of the float valve puller into the upper end until the beveled edge of the
handle seats on the beveled edge of the seal retainer. The seal retainer can then be knocked out. In this instance, the seal retainer should also be replaced.
Note: Caution should be used to prevent the valve face from being damaged.

The Model G Flapper Type Full Open Valve incorporates a specially designed flapper which opens quickly
and fully to provide a completely unrestricted bore through
the valve. The Model G is especially good for use with
highly abrasive fluids. When circulation stops, the flapper
closes instantly to prevent cuttings from entering the drill
string and plugging the bit. The valve opens when the first
joint is raised out of the hole assuring the first joints drain
and are not pulled wet. This saves mud and avoids safety
hazards and down time. The flapper-type valve complements primary blowout prevention equipment to provide
complete internal pressure control.

MODEL GC AUTOMATIC FILL

FLAPPER VALVE
10

The Model GC Automatic Fill Flapper Valve uses a low
carbon steel automatic fill key assembly that allows the
pipe to fill from the bottom, reducing run in time by eliminating the need to fill the string from the top. When running in the hole, the automatic fill feature eliminates the
ram effect preventing the downhole pressure surges that
can cause formation damage. The valve can be run in either the closed position or the automatic fill position. The
fast acting flapper valve opens when the kelly is pulled out
of the hole reducing the possibility of pulling a wet string
along with the associated safety hazards. Mud spill-over
on the rig floor is also eliminated. These timesaving features allow the Model GC to quickly pay for itself.

MODEL GB AND GBA DRILL PIPE FLOAT VALVES

MODEL GB AIR DRILLING VALVE

The Model GB Air Drilling Valve is designed for air drilling
only. It is identical to the Model G except the spring has
been removed and the beveled design of the guide greatly
reduces the danger of hanging up on the float valve when
retrieving tools below it.
The Drill Pipe Float Valve is installed near the top of the
drillstring. Escaping air is channeled under the flapper
valve, forcing it closed, and preventing loss of pressure.
Note: In order to lose as little air as possible from the drillstring when a joint is made up, it is recommended that the
float valve be moved up in the drillstring each time a new
bit is installed. Caution must be exercised, however, to
keep the valve at least one joint below the kelly; otherwise, the valve could be blown out of the drillpipe by
trapped pressure when the kelly is removed.

RECUTTING BODY OR BORING OUT DRILL COLLARS

Models F and G Drill Pipe Float Valves are identical in outside dimensions and use the same float sub or boredout drill collar. Float subs are made in lengths from 14 in. to 30 in. depending on size and type, and designed
for two recuts, two on either end or one on each end. Each time the tool joint box is recut, however, the shoulder
of the lower end of the body bore must be cut back to maintain dimension A. The body bore length permits
approximately 1/4 in. travel of the valve, and this travel should be maintained when the body is recut. Bodies
longer than the standard 3 ft in length allow more recuts and can be furnished on special order.
