Rotary Hydraulic Actuators

Our parented Rotary Hydraulic Actuators are designed to operate our Drill Stem Safety Valves (DSSV) for mud saving operations, but additionally can be sized to provide enough torque to function our valves under maximum bore pressures in case of emergency. Using hydraulic racks and pinions, we can provide high torque, compact, rugged actuation solutions for top drive manufacturers. With over 2000 units sold to date, these actuators are designed to provide maintenance free operations in harsh drilling conditions. Combined with our patented Dual Ball Valve technology, we can help top drive manufacturers, and operators reduce mud loss during operations, increase drilling uptime, minimise stack height and all without compromising their ability to provide blow out prevention. Design features include:

• Low maintenance, bearing supported hydraulic sealing system accepts hydraulic, or air over hydraulic lines.
• Hydraulic pressure is not required to maintain position.
• Actuator is fail-last design – it will not change position unless specifically operated, even under the most severe operating conditions.
• Compact, low profile design.
• High torque hydraulic rack and pinion configuration can be sized to operate valve up to maximum bore pressure if required.
• Rugged exterior mounting system allows the actuator to be stripped from the valve in either
• Available in six sizes and adaptable to a wide variety of DSSVs.
• Reliable, field proven, serviceable design

Tubing Safety Valves

Hi-Kaibler’s line of high performance safety valves are used by the well service industry to prevent fluid loss and as protection against well pressure fluctuations. Our unique design allows for positive sealing under load in gas environments, making these valves the superior choice for snubbing applications as well. Design features include:

• Full drift bore design.
• Positive, gas tight sealing in both directions.
• High torque body connection ensures seamless operation in the toughest conditions.
• Low torque operation even when closing or opening under maximum bore pressure.
• Gas tight stem seal even under maximum pull.
• Fully NACE compliant.
• Available with a wide variety of sizes and end connections.
• Reliable, field proven, serviceable design.

Inside Blow Out Prevention

Hi-Kalibre Inside Blow Out Prevention (IBOP) valves are a dart type IBOP used to control or prevent back flow or blow out when the Drill Stem Safety Valve (DSSV) is disconnected from the drill pipe. These valves feature a unique one piece body incorporating our patented upper seat and lock ring design. The one piece body provides strength with the minimum possible stack height, while eliminating cumbersome torque body connections. In turn this makes our valves completely field serviceable. Design features include:

• Patented upper seat and split ring design.
• Field serviceable valve, as valve assembly or dis- assembly does not require making or breaking a high torque connection.
• Durable urethane low pressure seal backed by high pressure metal to metal seal, spring energized to ensure positive sealing in any condition.
• NACE trim.
• Available in a wide variety of sizes and end connections.
• Reliable, field proven, serviceable design.

Drop In Retrievable Check Valves

Hi-Kalibre Drop-In Retrievable (DIR) Check Valves are a dart type check valve incorporating a low pressure soft seal over a high pressure metal to metal sealing mechanism. This offers extended service life and reliability over ball type checks. A replaceable body liner made from long wearing stainless steel protects the internals of the carbon steel body from erosion and incorporates the mating component to the drop-in tool’s latching mechanism. This is in contrast to competitors’ designs where the entire body must be replaced when erosion and/or corrosion compromise the latching mechanism.

The design of our DIR check valves allows high capacity down hole flow while preventing backflow from the well. The DIR tool is easily deployed or retrieved with the provided tooling, and uses standard wire line connections. Design features include:

• Drop-In check tool is easily deployed and latched with pressure by being pumped down from above.
• Replaceable, field serviceable body liner.
• Low pressure polymer seal backed by high pressure metal to metal seal, spring energized to ensure positive sealing under any conditions.
• Easy to use disassembly and remote retrieval tools provided in lockable tool box which houses the Drop-In check.
• NACE trim.
• Available in a wide variety of sizes and end connections.
• Reliable, field proven, serviceable design.

Ball Valves

Hi-Kalibre produces our own line of high pressure, high performance quarter turn ball valves. Our rugged, reliable ball valve design is available with a wide variety of flanged and bolted connections for virtually any application. These valves are typically used in ball valve manifolds, choke and kill assemblies, mud line applications and can be hydraulically actuated for remote operation.

• Soft seat design allows both low and high pressure sealing.
• Low torque operation at maximum pressure.
• Forged body and bonnet construction.
• Wide variety of sizes and flanged connection options.
• Fully NACE compliant.
• Reliable, field proven, serviceable design

Check Valves

Hi-Kalibre Check Valves are an inline, piston type check which will work in any orientation – horizontal, vertical or slant line. These checks have high volume flow in the forward direction, and produce gas tight sealing in the reverse direction. Design features include:

• Wide variety of size and end connection options.
• Forged body and bonnet construction.
• Durable polymer low pressure seal backed by high pressure metal to metal seal, spring energized to ensure positive sealing in any condition.
• Works in any orientation: horizontal, vertical or slant.
• Fully NACE compliant.
• Available in a wide variety of sizes and end connections.
• Reliable, field proven, serviceable design

Safety Swivel™

Hi-Kalibre Equipment’s patented Safety Swivel TM is used primarily for gas well service and sand clean out operations. Our innovative combination of our reliable and proven Tubing Safety Valve with an integral swivel is so unique and advantageous to service rig operators that we have patented a method of sand clean out based on it. This technology is licensed to each user and allows sand clean out and service operations to be conducted more efficiently and more safely than ever before. Design features include:
