ITT Engineered Valves
Fabri-Valve Drilling Fluid Valve
The Figure C45 Drilling Fluid Valve (DFV) is designed specifically for today's drilling fluid systems with heavy duty replaceable seats. The full port design offers 40% greater flow than a butterfly valve and replaces a butterfly valve with no dimensional changes, reducing pump damage caused by back pressure and volume restrictions. Easily replaceable seats provide bubble tight shut-off from 0-150 psi (10.3 bar), and PTFE Graphite braided packing with a first row of Kevlar packing acting as a wiper protects the packing from abrasive drilling fluid.
