Back-Pressure Valve

Maintains CT fluid column in low-bottomhole-pressure wells

APPLICATIONS The back-pressure valves (BPV) primary function is to maintain the fluid

Values are based on 80,000 lbf/in2 strength steel at 70 degF [21 degC] and a single-load case. At temperatures above 250 degF [121 degC], ratings are reduced by 7%; at 350 degF [177 degC], ratings are reduced by 12%.
Users should determine the actual operating and load parameters for their own applications.
