VALUE MEANS Abstract A valve means to be installed in a string of drill pipe above a bottom hole positive displacement motor com- prises a hollow housing having an inlet and an outlet for the passage of a drilling fluid therethrough, the wall of the housing having through holes to communicate the inte- rior of the housing with the annular space of the well bo- re. Secured in the housing substantially above the through holes is a transverse plate or partition provided with a plurality of calibrated openings intended to produce a pressure drop. The housing further accommodates a chamber communicating with the through holes and provided with an open face in the upper portion thereof, the chamber being arranged such that through passages are formed between the chamber and the housing. The housing further comprises a se- aling couple intended to prevent the through holes from com- municating with the interior of the housing in the course of drilling operation. A valve seat of the couple is adapted to fit the circumference of the open face in the upper portion of the chamber, whereas a spring-loaded valve ele- ment of the couple is capable of being moved axially under the action of the pressure drop, the valve element having a tail-piece the end of which is adapted at least to level with the upper surface of the partition.
