Abstract
A well tool device includes a housing; a through bore provided axially through the well tool device; and a frangible disc supported in the through bore by a first supporting device and a second supporting device. The through bore is defined with a bore wall. The second supporting device is axially displaceable in relation to the first supporting device. The well tool includes a shear element for preventing axial displacement of the second supporting device; a sealing element arranged radially outside of the frangible disc and radially inside of the bore wall when the well tool device is in a first state, in which the sealing element together with the frangible disc is configured to prevent axial fluid flow between a first side of the frangible disc and a second side of the frangible disc; and a disintegration device. The well tool device is configured to be in a second state, in which the shear element has been sheared off and the frangible disc and the second supporting device have been moved axially until the frangible disc has been brought into contact with the disintegration device. The well tool device is configured to be in a third state, in which the frangible disc has been disintegrated by means of the disintegration device. The well tool device includes a flushing channel provided in the bore wall radially outside of the frangible disc when the well tool device is in the second state.
