Kill Manifold
Application
When the pressure increase in well head, the kill manifold can provide a means of pumping heavy drilling fluid into the well to balance bottom hole pres-sure so that well kick and blowout can be prevented.In this case, by using blow down lines connected to the kill manifold,the increasing well head pressure also can be released directly for bottom hole pres-sure release, or water and extinguishing agent can be injected into the well by means of the kill manifold.The check valves on the kill manifold only allow injection of kill fluid or other fluids into the well bore through themselves,but do not allow any back flow so as to perform the kill operation or other operations.
Structure
The kill manifold consists of check valves,gate valves, pressure gauges and pipelines.The one end of the kill manifold is connected to the drilling spool and the other end is connected to the pump.The kill manifold and choke manifold are both designed toAPI16C and can be used together.The kill manifold is available from 14Mpa, 21Mpa, 35Mpa and 70 Mpa pressure ratings.
