  2. Check valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_valve

    A check valve, non-return valve, reflux valve, retention valve, foot valve, or one-way valve is a valve that normally allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through it in only one direction. [1] Check valves are two-port valves, meaning they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to leave. There are various ...

  3. Hand pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_pump

    The installation, maintenance and repair of deep well hand pumps is more complicated than with other hand pumps. A deep well hand pump theoretically has no limit to which it can extract water. In practice, the depth is limited by the physical power a human being can exert in lifting the column of water, which is around 30 m

  4. Downhole safety valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downhole_safety_valve

    This means that they are installed as a component of the completion string and run in during completion. Retrieving the valve, should it malfunction, requires a workover. The full name for this most common type of downhole safety valve is a Tubing Retrievable Surface Controlled Sub-Surface Valve, shortened in completion diagrams to TRSCSSV.

  5. Completion (oil and gas wells) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completion_(oil_and_gas_wells)

    It is a cylindrical valve with either a ball or flapper closing mechanism. It is installed in the production tubing and is held in the open position by a high-pressure hydraulic line from surface contained in a 6.35 mm (1/4") control line that is attached to the DHSV's hydraulic chamber and terminated at surface to a hydraulic actuator. The ...

  6. Christmas tree (oil well) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_tree_(oil_well)

    The valve at the top is called the swab valve and lies in the path used for well interventions like wireline and coiled tubing. For such operations, a lubricator is rigged up onto the top of the tree and the wire or coil is lowered through the lubricator, past the swab valve and into the well. This valve is typically manually operated.

  7. Duckbill valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckbill_valve

    Duckbill exhaust valve for Draeger twin hose regulator. A duckbill valve is a check valve, usually manufactured from rubber or synthetic elastomer, and has two or more flaps, usually shaped like the beak of a duck. [1] It is commonly used in medical applications to prevent contamination due to backflow. A cross-section diagram of a Duckbill valve.

  8. Water well pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_well_pump

    Deep well pumps extract groundwater from subterranean aquifers, offering a reliable source of water independent of municipal networks. These pumps, often submersible and powered by electricity, can access water reserves located much deeper than shallow wells, ensuring a consistent supply even during periods of drought.
