Snap-lock seal for seal valve assembly

摘要

A float apparatus for use in a casing string. The float apparatus includes an outer case having a check valve positioned therein. A body portion which may be comprised of high compressive strength cement affixes the check valve to the outer case. The check valve includes a valve body and a valve element. The valve body defines a valve seat and the valve element is deformable so that it will conform to the shape of the valve seat and seal against flow in the casing.
