Multi-Function Kelly Cock Valve: 3-in-1 Well Control Solution

Multi-Function Kelly Cock Valve: 3-in-1 Well Control Solution

The Conventional Valve Limitation

Standard kelly cocks require:

-Separate check valve above kcock for full protection → added connections & failure points

-No circulation capability once closed → requires valve removal for killing operations

-Limited functionality in high-pressure differential environments

Our multi-function valve delivers:

✅ Integrated check/shutoff/circulation in single compact design

✅ 45MPa pressure differential operation

✅ -50°C to 190°C temperature range

Triple-Function Technology

1. Floating Ball Valve Mechanism

FunctionMechanical ActionApplication
Pressure ReliefBall floats open with pressure equalizationEasy stabbing during connections
Shutoff90° rotation seals flow pathEmergency well control
CirculationPartial rotation enables controlled flowKill operations without removal

2. Advanced Materials Package

Body: API 4140/4145H steel with quench & temper treatment

Internals: 718 alloy & 17-4PH for H2S service (NACE MR0175)
