Abstract: A high pressure check valve for an intensifier cylinder and secured in the end of the cylinder so as to reduce the stress on the check valve due to cyclic loading.
Abstract: A check valve for wireline operations is employed in oil well drilling where a high pressure is encountered in a well. The check valve permits a wireline to extend through the check valve and a ball chamber therein. The ball chamber has a check ball therein that rests between the wireline and a non restrictive flow passage open to the well, so that upon loss of the wireline the fluid or gas tending to escape forces the ball to block the wireline opening.
