Technical Summary

An Evolution in Float Valve Technology

SafeFloat™ is a next generation float valve designed specifically to perform in today's modern, complex drilling environments.

Among other technical evolutions in drilling, requirements for the position of the float in the string and in the housing has changed in modern steerable motor assemblies. The patented SafeFloat™ addresses that change and includes features designed for increased flow rate and pressures. The DTI SafeFloat™ valve provides additional assurances for well control safety.
