Pressure Control Equipment
Back Pressure Valve
Back Pressure Valves are designed to regulate and maintain pressure within industrial systems. They help control upstream pressure and support stable operation in pressure-sensitive applications.
- One-way check design that holds pressure from below
- Threaded body for installation in a prepared tubing hanger profile
- Installed and retrieved using a lubricator and running/retrieving tool
Product overview
Back Pressure Valves are designed to regulate and maintain pressure within industrial systems. They help control upstream pressure and support stable operation in pressure-sensitive applications.
In wellhead service, a back pressure valve is installed in the tubing hanger profile, where it acts as a one-way check: it holds well pressure from below while still allowing fluid to be pumped through from above if required. This gives crews a safe barrier while the BOP stack or christmas tree is being removed or installed.
Size, pressure rating, material and end connections are sourced to your specification. Share your requirement for a suitable option.
