Abstract

The present invention generally relates to a valve for use in an oilfield tool. The valve includes a valve body (140) and a valve member (100) disposed in the valve body. The valve member is movable between an open and closed position. The valve member includes an aperture therethrough. The valve further includes a pressure relief member (105) disposed in the aperture, whereby at a predetermined pressure the pressure relief member will permit fluid communication. In another aspect, the invention provides an apparatus and a method for introducing fluid into a tubular.
