Features, Advantages and Benefits

• Float Collars serve several very important roles in the primary cementation phase of the casing string
• Act as a back-up valve to the one located in the float shoe, or primary valve when guide shoes or MudMaster™ Filter Shoes are run
• The float collar provides a landing point for the casing wiper plugs, whose function it is to wipe any mud film from the casing during the cement displacement. The float collar allows this contaminated cement to be captured in the shoe track instead of being pumped into the annulus
• Pressure holding capability of a float collar when a plug bumps against it is referred to as bump pressure, while pressure from the annulus on the back side of the valve is called back pressure
• Bumping of the wiper plug confirms to the operator that the displacement is complete. The valve and cement around it are capable of withstanding long periods of circulation
• The Sure-Seal 3 design assures PDC drillability
