Description
CAMTOP Drill Pipe Float Valve (DPFV) — Plunger & Flapper Series
Drill Pipe Float Valves (DPFV) are one-way check valves installed inside the drill string to prevent drilling fluid, cuttings, and formation back-flow from entering the drill pipe while making connections. CAMTOP DPFVs are manufactured as direct equivalents to Baker SPD Models F, FA, G, GA, GC, and GCA — covering both plunger type (F, FA) and flapper type full-flow (G, GA, GC, GCA) configurations. Each valve is forged from heat-treated alloy steel, precision-machined to API 7K / 6A / 8C and ISO tolerances, and individually pressure-tested before shipment.
Available in ten drill pipe sizes from 1R (1") through 6F (5-11/16") with matched metal and rubber repair kits, CAMTOP DPFVs are the reliable, cost-effective alternative to OEM drill pipe float valves for conventional and horizontal drilling operations worldwide.

The CAMTOP Model F plunger type drill pipe float valve is engineered for instant shut-off when making connections. The spring-loaded plunger design prevents flow-back into the drill string, keeping drill cuttings out of the bore and protecting downhole tools. Standard H48013 family (economy grade) and H48043 family (heavy-duty alloy grade) are both available.

Working Principle
Model F — Plunger Type: A spring-loaded plunger sits in the valve seat, held open by upward mud flow during circulation. The instant circulation stops (or flow reverses when making a connection), the spring snaps the plunger into the closed seat, creating an instant positive seal. Cuttings cannot enter the drill string, and fluid back-flow is blocked.
Model G — Flapper Type Full-Flow: A spring-tensioned flapper disc swings open on a hinge to provide a completely unrestricted bore when circulation is active. The moment flow stops, the flapper closes instantly by spring action. The full-bore design is especially effective with abrasive fluids and high-volume circulation, complementing blowout prevention equipment as part of the complete internal pressure control system.
Model GA / GC / GCA: Add carbide orifice (for surface dP monitoring) and/or automatic fill (for pressure-surge prevention during run-in) to the base G design.
Applications
- Oil & gas drilling operations (conventional and horizontal)
- Drill string back-flow prevention during tripping and connections
- Cuttings exclusion from drill string when circulation stops
- Complementary BOP internal pressure control
- High-abrasive slurry drilling (G/GA/GC/GCA flapper recommended)
- Differential pressure monitoring at surface (GA/GCA w/ carbide orifice)
- Pressure-sensitive formation drilling (GC/GCA w/ auto-fill)
- Bit-head gas pocket monitoring (FA w/ center port)
