Abstract (en)

An annulus pressure responsive downhole tool includes a housing (54) having a power piston (140) slidably disposed therein. First (160) and second (166) pressure conducting passages communicate a well annulus (142) with first (142) and second (144) sides of the power piston. A retarding device (244) is disposed in the second pressure conducting passage for delaying communication of a sufficient portion of an increase in well annulus pressure to the second side of the power piston for a sufficient time to allow a pressure differential across the power piston to move the power piston from a first position to a second position relative to the housing. A pressure relief means (272) is communicated with the second pressure conducting passage between the power piston and the retarding device for relieving from the second pressure conducting passage a volume of fluid sufficient to permit the power piston to travel to its second position.
