Baffle Plates

Baffle Plates can be placed on top of the drill pipe float valves or the drill bit to help prevent damage from recorders or other wire line tools that are dropped down the string. Keystone carries ring-type and spider-type baffle plates.

Baffle Plates are designed to be inserted in the tool joint or connection of a drilling string in the place of a crow’s foot. The function of the baffle plate is to keep foreign objects such as rocks, and trash out of the down hole tools and bit jets. Another function is to land survey tools dropped on the hole. Keystone Energy Tools baffle plates are designed to withstand increased pump pressures, temperatures and fluid-borne bodies that cause washing of the metals within the drill string.
