How is the product development and changes of frac pump valves and valve seats?
In recent years, the oil fracking industry has been seeking innovative ways to advance technology and discover new materials to enhance the reliability and service life of valves and valve seats of mud pumps. Efforts have been directed towards reducing production costs, diminishing operator labor intensity, and improving equipment and environmental safety.
Our company has developed a tungsten carbide ring specifically designed for frac pump valve seats. This application significantly extends the service life of valves and seats. The new seat model combines the hardness of wolfram carbide with the strength of iron. Compared to traditional methods, the new method of inserting the ring into the main body of the seat has been found to increase the life of the seat by six times, with records continually being broken. This contributes to a reduction in downtime for maintenance equipment and a decrease in operator workload.
With 40 years of experience in tungsten carbide production, our company is dedicated to providing customers with the highest quality products. Our wolfram carbide rings have been utilized in valve and seat production by both domestic and international companies. Upon completion of the customer’s on-site trial, the final product has achieved positive outcomes. It has been demonstrated that our product effectively reduces the cost and time associated with equipment downtime, thereby alleviating the workload of operators. We aspire to supply our tungsten carbide rings to more companies within this industry to foster mutually beneficial business relationships. Our company is capable of manufacturing products according to the drawings provided by our customers.
Development and Testing of Rings
In the R&D process of the ring, our company collaborates closely with international companies from the selection of raw materials, through matching, molding, sintering, processing, to assembly. Numerous tests have enabled us to acquire the technology for producing suitable seat rings.
