lower end of Kelly saver subs. The Kelly valve can be opened on or closed off by only turning the special
operating wrench at 90° according to indicating direction. During drilling operation, the Kelly valve shall be
connected at upper end and lower end of Kelly.

The sealing principle for Kelly valve is that the ball is positioned and provided with proceeding stress by the
lower seat supported by spring load and a close seal between ball and ball seat is provided. During normal
drilling operation, the hole is kept unblocked by turning the stem to be “on” position; In case of kick or
blowout, turn the operating stem to be “off” position to close off the internal bore of drill string, the kick or
blowout accident is avoided due to a high pressure sealing situation between ball and ball seat.
