  • Patent number: 10302218
    Abstract: A drill stem safety valve actuator that eliminates the need for a hydraulic union. The actuator can include a mounting sleeve that can be affixed to the valve, that can further have a pinion gear that can rotate a ball valve. The actuator can include a rack sleeve slidably disposed on the mounting sleeve, having a rack configured to engage the pinion wherein sliding the rack sleeve linearly along the length of the mounting sleeve rotates the pinion, thus, the ball valve.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 16, 2016
    Date of Patent: May 28, 2019
    Assignee: Hi-Kalibre Equipment Limited

  • Patent number: 7426938
    Abstract: A choke valve having flow trim components, namely a tubular cage and a flow collar or plug, and related components, designed and arranged for reduced fracturing. The invention includes a protective tubular sleeve, or insert cartridge in which the side ports are located to overlap with the intersection of axes of the inlet and outlet bores, but to avoid direct impingement of fluid along the axis of the inlet bore. In the cage, at least a pair of main flow ports are located to overlap with the intersection of the axes of the inlet and outlet bores, and are aligned with the side ports of the tubular sleeve or cartridge to communicate directly with the side ports. In this manner fluid may enter the choke valve through the inlet bore and pass through the main flow ports at reduced pressure and continue out through the outlet bore, without direct impingement on the side wall of the flow trim components.
