Top Filling Drill Pipe

08 November 2022

Dear colleagues

With regards to Top Filling Drill Pipe and tripping in hole, at what rate (gpm) is fluid typically pumped into the empty drill pipe? 

I know usually the string will have floats with the auto-fill feature and I am specifically asking how the pipe is filled and at what rate when there is a closed end and auto - filling is not possible.

Thanks in advance

Dustin
