PAD – Pressure Activated Devices

PAD – Pressure Activated Devices

For Deep Hole Drilling Tools and Offshore Drilling

With more than 70 years of experience in rupture disc technology, Fike has developed a Pressure Activation Device (PAD) to address the growing need within oil exploration and recovery applications.

To address the growing need within oil exploration and recovery applications, Fike offers PADs in four configurations:

  • PAD-I where high accuracy pressure activation is required
  • PAD-A for pressure activation from the annulus 
  • PAD-IBP for pressure activation from within the oil field equipment tubing or drill string
  • PAD-MH provides pressure activation from within the tubing or drill string.

Cost-effective and dependable, the Fike Pressure Activation rupture disc Devices offer a number of benefits:

  • Eliminates shear pin devices
  • Burst tolerances as low as ±2% for high accuracy
  • Easy installation and removal
  • 90% operating ratio
  • Wide range of in-stock burst pressures
  • Positive sealing capability
  • Compact one-piece design
