Precision-engineered Drill Pipe Float Valve solutions, exclusively available in the Middle East at IRE.

Trusted by global well service and drilling contractors, the Drill Pipe Float Valves (DPFV) range from Keystone Energy Tools prevents fluid backflow

during operations and delivers unmatched traceability, reliability and rapid delivery thanks to our UAE-based inventory and support.

Float valve reliability starts here

Engineered for high-pressure drilling and directional service demands, DPFVs are critical to drilling operations. We stock both flapper and plunger valves with variants suited for standard, H2S, pressure-monitoring and auto-fill applications. Designed for durability and ease of maintenance, every valve is built with high-grade materials like Inconel springs and Viton seals. All float valves are API-compatible and traceable via serialised IDs for full lifecycle tracking.

 

Why Keystone Energy Tools?

With over 25 years of float valve expertise, Keystone leads the market with full product traceability and its innovative approach – which is why we’ve chosen to partner with them. Every valve includes a unique serial number, ensuring repair kits and documentation are matched precisely to save time and avoid operational delays.
