Mud Valve

DEMCO DM 7500 PSI Gate valve

The Cameron DEMCO DM 7500-psi gate valve meets the tough, 7500-psi working pressure demands of deep well drilling. The DEMCO 7500-psi gate valve comes to this market with proven technology from the industry leader. When the market demanded a 7500-psi drilling mud valve, the DEMCO 7500-psi gate valve was introduced to meet the challenge. This is fitting since the DEMCO gate valves (2000 to 5000 psi) continue to be the premium drilling mud valves of choice, as they have been for more than 30 years.

The DEMCO 7500-psi gate valve is available in sizes 2″ to 6″ (50 mm to 150 mm) with butt-weld end or flanged end connections. Engineered specifically for the high pressure requirements of deep well drilling, the DEMCO 7500-psi gate valve is chosen for the following drilling applications:

Standpipe manifolds
Pump manifold block valves
High-pressure drilling-system block valves
High-pressure frac service

The addition of DMA gate valves to the Cameron DEMCO offering delivers improved safety and fewer personnel required onsite.

Mud Valves

An oil well mud valve is a robust valve, often a gate valve, used in drilling to control the flow of abrasive drilling mud, ensuring pressure control, bit lubrication, and cutting transport; they are vital for safety and efficiency in high-pressure, demanding environments, found on mud tanks, pumps, and high-pressure lines. These specialized valves handle viscous fluids and are built from durable materials, coming in types like full-open or webbed designs to match specific flow and pressure needs.

Key Functions & Locations:

Flow Control: Start, stop, or regulate mud flow in the closed-loop circulation system.
Pressure Management: Maintain hydrostatic pressure to prevent blowouts.
Circulation: Direct mud through pumps, standpipes, and return lines.
Locations: Installed on mud tanks, pits, mud pump discharge lines, and surface manifolds.

Types & Features:

Gate Valves: Common type, known for rigid construction for isolating flow.
Full Open Valves: Allow maximum flow with minimal obstruction.
Webbed Valves (3-Web, 4-Web): Offer enhanced strength for high-pressure needs.
Materials: Made from high-grade, wear-resistant materials for longevity.
Operation: Often manually operated for simple control.
