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.
