The Pump-Out Plug is designed to temporarily seal the tubing string. It can be configured to run either as a solid plug or with a ball seat that allows the tubing string to fill while running in. The pressure required to shear the pins and pump the plug out of the housing is adjustable.

When run as a solid plug, pressure from below does not act on the shear pins. When an expendable ball seat is used, the tubing string is pressure balanced.

NOTE: Any hydrostatic pressure below the plug must be overcome before the shear pins are loaded and should be considered when calculating the required pump-out pressure.
