VAM Drilling is a major manufacturer of

drilling safety valves, including Kelly valves,
retrievable drop-in check valves and inside BOP
valves. Each of these valves is available in three
different versions:
Standard. Suitable for normal drilling
conditions. The valve body is made of AISI
4145H-modified alloy steel, heat-treated to 285341 Brinell hardness and a minimum impact
strength value of 42J as per ASTM 370 Charpy
V-Notch, at -10C. Inner surfaces of bodies are
treated to enhance mud corrosion resistance
and maintenance operations.
H2S Trim. This version has been designed for
low H2S concentration. Internal parts are made
of corrosion-resistant materials matching the
NACE MR0175 standard, fitted in a standard
body.
NACE Version. The NACE version fully
meets the NACE MR0175 standard to resist
higher H2S concentration. The body is made of
UNS S17400, heat-treated to meet both NACE
