Introduction
FORUM SPD is the original manufacturer of Baker Drill Pipe Float Valves. Committed to continuous
improvement and production of quality products for optimum performance and reliability, Forum Drill Pipe
Float Valves have become an industry standard with their superior engineering, quality, construction and
dependability in service.
FORUM SPD manufactures a complete line of Float Valves, Repair Kits, and Puller Assemblies to
accommodate a wide range of drilling situations and operating conditions, including H2S and Steam
Service. These Drill Pipe Float Valves provide added blowout protection at the bottom of the drillstring,
prevent flowback when joints are added, and keep cuttings out of the drillpipe to prevent bit plugging
while making connections.
Note: It is recommended that if multiple Drill Pipe Float Valves are run in the same string, they be separated.
However the Model GS may be stacked.

QUALITY CONSTRUCTION
FORUM / SPD Drill Pipe Float Valves have been designed,
manufactured, tested, and certified in accordance with accepted
engineering, manufacturing, and quality assurance standards
including, but not limited to, the following documents or publications.
American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI)
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
American Society for Metals (ASM)
American Welding Society (AWS)
Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA)
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)

RATED OPERATING PRESSURE

Model F Drill Pipe Float Valves rated 7,500 WP.
Model G & GS Drill Pipe Float Valves rated 7,500 WP.

CAGES & GS
Cage construction of the various Models F and G includes ductile iron, and there is an option for low alloy steel cage in some
Model F sizes. Hardness levels of these are at or below 22 Rockwell C to resist hydrogen sulfide stress cracking when used for
H2S applications. The Model GS cage is made from low alloy steel. Stainless Steel available upon request.

SPRINGS
Models F and G utilize high alloy springs for all applications.

eliminates the ram effect preventing the downhole
pressure surges that can cause formation damage.

The Heavy Duty Model F Drill Pipe Float Valve is

designed with a low alloy steel body that increases the
life of the Drill Pipe Float Valve. It provides high impact
resistance and is dimensionally identical to the standard
Forum Drill Pipe Float Valve, allowing interchangeability of
the trim. This type of Drill Pipe Float Valve is recommended
for use with downhole mud motors.
Note: Not recommended for Air Drilling.

The Model FA is available in all sizes.

The Model FI is only available in sizes 2F-3R, 3F,

Model FS & FAS // Float Valve

The Model FS and FAS offers many of the standard features
of the non-ported and ported Model F Float Valve. The
Model FS/FAS was designed for mud motor applications.
This application requires a short length and high fluid
velocity. The FS and FSA Float Valve is only 6 inches
long and has carbonized surface treatment. The side seal
is an O-Ring with back-up rings which allows for a
7500psi pressure rating. See the chart on page 8 for
dimensional information.

Currently the only size available is

3.30OD x 6 long.

Model G and GA DPFV

Flappers for Model G/GA are made of normalized, carbonized, quenched, and tempered low alloy steel to resist wear and
erosion. The flapper valve opens fully during circulation providing an unrestricted bore through the valve thereby effectively
prolonging the life of the valve and drill collar as there is no diversion of fluid against the drill collar ID.

Product Family No. 48015

Product Family No. 48016

The Model G Flapper Type Full Open Valve incorporates

a specially designed flapper which opens quickly and fully
to provide a completely unrestricted bore through the valve.
The Model G is especially good for use with highly abrasive
fluids. When circulation stops, the flapper closes instantly to
prevent cuttings from entering the drill string and plugging
the bit. The valve opens when the first joint is raised out
of the hole assuring the first joints drain and are not pulled
wet. The flapper-type valve complements primary blowout
prevention equipment to provide complete internal
pressure control.

The Model GA Differentail Pressure Monitoring Valve is

identical to the Model G except for a hardened1/4 in.
diameter tungsten carbide orifice bean insert in the flapper
to provide automatic partial filling of the drillpipe during
running in. This valve is used when monitoringthe bit head
for gas pressure and/or gas pockets, allowing measurement
of differential pressure when required.

Model GB // Air Drilling Valve

Product Family No. 48017

The Model GB Air Drilling Valve is designed for air drilling

only. It is identical to the Model G except the spring has

been removed and the beveled design of the guide greatly
reduces the danger of hanging up on the float valve when
retrieving tools below it.

SPECIAL INSTALLATION
The Drill Pipe Float Valve is installed near the top of the

drillstring. Escaping air is channeled under the flapper

valve, forcing it closed, and preventing loss of pressure.
Note: In order to lose as little air as possible from the
drillstring when a joint is made up, it is recommended that
the float valve be moved up in the drillstring each time a
new bit is installed. Caution must be exercised, however, to
keep, the valve at least one joint below the kelly; otherwise,
the valve could be blown out of the drillpipe by trapped
pressure when the kelly is removed.

The Model GC Automatic Fill Flapper Valve uses a low carbon steel automatic fill key assembly that allows the pipe
to fill from the bottom, reducing run in time by eliminating

the need to fill the string from the top. When running in the

hole, the automatic fill feature eliminates the ram effect

preventing the downhole pressure surges that can cause

formation damage. The valve can be run in either the closed

position or the automatic fill position. The fast acting flapper

valve opens when the key is pulled out of the hole reducing
the possibility of pulling a wet string along with the associ-

ated safety hazards. Mud spill-over on the rig floor is also

eliminated. These timesaving features allow the Model GC
to quickly pay for itself.

Model GS & Gas Drill Pipe Float Valves

Product Family No. 48058 and 48059 (Model GS);
48056 and 48057 (Model GAS)
Forum SPD now offers new designs in its Forum Drill Pipe
Float Valve product line. The Model GS and GAS Drill Pipe
Float Valves offer optimum performance and reliability for
jobs that require high flow and erosion resistance. Made of
alloy steel tempered for H2S applications, the GS and GAS
feature a unique flapper relief to reduce flapper spring and
pin wear. The Model GS is provided with a non ported
flapper and the Model GAS has a ported flapper.
Model GS and GAS are available in four Drill Pipe Valve
standard configurations as noted in the table below.
There are also three non standard configurations;
3.38 x 2, 4F Short, and 4.8 x 2.94. The nonstandard sizes

RECUTTING BODY OR BORING OUT DRILL COLLARS

Model F and G Drill Pipe Float Valves are identical in outside dimensions and use the same float sub or bored-out drill collar.
Float Subs are made in lengths from 14 in. to 30 in. depending on size and type, and designed for two recuts, two on either end
or one on each end.
Each time the tool joint box is recut, however, the shoulder of the lower end of the body bore must be cut back to maintain when
the body is recut. Bodies longer than the standard 3 ft. in length allow more recuts and can be furnished on special order.

1.000

Following in the tradition of Baker Drill Pipe Float Valve,

Forum SPD is introducing a float valve sized for coil tubing
application. The CTFV has the basic features of a Model GS
float valve, but sized for coil tubing bottom hole assemblies
and subs.
Cap and cage are corrosion resistant 9 Chr. 1 moly
alloy steel.
Flapper is surface hardened for long life.
Cage design allows stacking for redundant
sealing.

Product Family No. 48093
This puller design is used to remove float valves from the
top of the sub. The valve Top puller consists of a two
prong fork, when squeezed together and pushed against
the head of the valve dart, it can be moved down. The tang
at ends of the fork will then engage the cage and allow the
float valve to be pulled. To release the puller, slide the
separator clip away from the valve. Squeeze the forks
together to allow puller to be removed from valve.
