The new Gilmore Agiliti™ Check Valve was designed from the ground up as a flow control solution for well stimulation pressure control systems. The valve minimizes the maintenance burden on Gilmore’s pressure pumping customers with a service life of more than 400hrs. Customers will not need to perform any maintenance on the check valve for the duration of a typical four (4) well pad. It is a drop-in replacement to existing check valves to prevent backflow to upstream assets, and was designed to keep operations flowing for longer intervals between maintenance cycles, reducing downtime, labor and costs.
 
“Our new check valve has such a huge step change in performance, that our customers can now focus their maintenance efforts on other key equipment on the campaign,” said Ryan Bludau, CTO. “This translates into improved safety, utilization, efficiency, and ultimately increased revenue for our customers.”
 
The valve was designed to API 6A requirements, and qualified to 1000 cycles at a maximum flow rate of 16 BPM. Weighing 212 lbs, and with a working pressure of 15,000 psi, the valve has 3-in. 1502 hammer union connections.
