Pipe Tester Valve

Pressure tests pipe above the valve while running in hole

APPLICATIONS The pipe tester valve (PTV) is similar to the
■■ Pressure testing pipe string single-ball safety valve (SBSV), but it is
when running in hole normally run closed and opens permanently
■■ Running a cushion in when the disc ruptures. This tool is useful for
production-type tests production-type tests to allow running in dry
and pressure testing the pipe string. When
BENEFITS this valve is used with the SBSV, one flow Seal
■■ Enables one flow test and one shut-in test and one shut-in test can be performed
test to be performed with a minimum with a minimum of tools. Valve Valve
number of tools, streamlining the closed open
test procedure PTVs are also commonly used in HPHT tests
for pressure testing the BHA. Connected
■■ Permanently locks open Ball valve
immediately above the seal assembly, the PTV
to increase safety operator
enables pressure testing of every connection
