1、Operation and application

Full bore safety valve is hand control valve in the drill string

circulating system ， it's an effective tool to prevent blowout, well kick.

The design of full bore safety valve accord with API SPEC 7-1

requirement, use the safety valve between the bottom of kelly and top of

drill pipe or down side of the kelly saver sub. During the drilling

operation to avoid blowout and vicious accident happen, should be

connect the safety valve in the drill string.

Full bore safety valve is simple construction, easy maintenance ball

valve, the valve with full bore and big full bore feature, that reduce

greatly the drilling fluid erosive wear to the key parts. Full bore safety

valve adopt separated structure, when same connecting guarantee large

drift diameter requirement and meet API specification.

1.1、Application overview

Full bore safety valve is one important drill string internal

prevention blowout tool, install it on the upper of drill pipe is called top

safety valve, install it on the bottom of drill pipe is called bottom safety

valve. Rotating ball valve with a special wrench to achieve valve opening

and closing. When the overflow or blowout occur, close full bore safety

valve, cut off the drill tool inner channel to achieve drill tool internal

blowout prevention purpose.
