Flow diverter
Abstract:
A flow diverter is provided having a first sub member, a second sub member, a third sub member connected in series and a piston, a spring, and a sleeve member. The sleeve member is removeably disposed within the second sub member. The spring concentrically surrounds at least a portion of the piston and the spring are slidably disposed within the first sub member with the piston further slidably disposed within the second sub member and at least a portion of the third sub member. A drilling fluid having a first predetermined pressure passes through the flow diverter. The drilling fluid having a second predetermined pressure moves the piston until at least a portion of the drilling fluid passes through bypass ports formed in the piston, sleeve member, and second sub member and out of the flow diverter, thus controlling the pressure of the drilling fluid.
