DOUBLE ANGLE O-RING VALVE
The Double Angle O-ring Valve is made with a tough one-piece
body to run more hours between change outs. It's made with
carburized premium alloy steel to resist wear, provide a positive
seal, and help protect against wash out or damage to the pump.
FEATURES
Specified for all drilling operations up to and exceeding
5,000 psi
Maximum operating temperature is 170F
Patented polyurethane insert is noted for its Double Angle 55
seal contact surface, which maintains cylinder priming during pump shutdown
Sizes fit most mud pumps
Shelf life of polyurethane insert is maximum of 5 years
Body is a one-piece design, configured to give maximum containment of the insert with minimum use of
material
DOUBLE ANGLE O-RING BLUE STREAK HIGH TEMPERATURE VALVE
The High Temperature Double Angle O-ring Valve body is a
one-piece design, configured to give maximum containment of
the insert with minimum use of material. The valve and insert
configuration has been operated at pressures up to and
exceeding 5,000 psi.
FEATURES

STANDARD PLATE TYPE VALVE
The Standard Plate Type Valve is extremely durable to its premium forged alloy steel body and its unique design.
It has been proven by more than 50 years of oilfield service. To prevent dry pistons and liners at startup, the
valve features a patented double angle polyurethane insert that maintains cylinder priming during pump shut-
down. The precise control of insert pre-load is accomplished with a flat ground insert retaining plate and split
retainers. The insert can be replaced in the field with minimum down time. This valve is designed to fit pumps in
the oilfield and is used with Baker SPD seats.

Triplex Pump Pistons
SPD provides a wide variety of pistons for mud pump appli-
cations, including bonded, urethane, rubber, and replaceable
rubber or urethane inserts.
SPDs bonded urethane pistons are designed for resistance
to extrusions and abrasions. With water cooling, these pis-
tons will provide optimum performance in oil base mud and
high drilling pressures.
Bonded urethane pistons are rated for drilling opera-
tions up to and exceeding 5,000 psi
Urethane pistons provide extended service life under
high pressure
The Blue Streak

piston has a higher

tolerance to temperature and chemical attack
Urethane pistons are single durometer
Bonded rubber pistons are rated for operation pres-
sures up to 2500 psi
Replacable urethane pistons are rated for operation
pressures up to and exceeding 5000 psi
Temperature ratings
- Standard urethane - 170F (77C)
- Blue Streak urethane - 200F (93C)
- Rubber - 200F (93)
All bonded and replaceable pistons are available in
popular sizes

Zirconia Ceramic Liners
HP Design with shoulder on hull to prevent sleeve slippage
SPD ID tolerances is +.010/-.000
- Industry allowance is +.015/-.000
Surface nish 4 8 RMS
- Chrome sleeved liner nish 16 20 RMS
Expected run life exceeding 10,000 hours
Hardness: HV 0.3 kg/mm - 1100/1200 (92 94 Rc) (Chrome
sleeved liners are 60 64 Rc)
Ceramic liners do not create ID ridges which are common
in high chrome liners. ID ridges are a cause of piston
failures. Ceramic liners improve piston run life.
Ceramic liners are pressure rated to pump performance by
piston size.
Liners are available in sizes 4-1/2 to 7.

Liners are available for popular pumps:

EMSCO: FC-2200, FB-1300/1600, F-800/1000
Gardner Denver: PX-11, PZ-10/11, PZ-8/9
National: 14-P-200/220, 12-P-160, 10-P-130
Oilwell: A1400/1700PT
Wirth: TPK-2200, TPK-1600/2000
Liners for other pump models and liner sizes available upon request.

Zirconia Sleeved Liners for Mud Pumps in Drilling Applications

Basic description of Zirconium Oxide/Zirconia:
Zirconia engineered ceramic parts can be formed by single axis pressing, isostatic pressing, injection
molding, slip casting, or extrusion. Parts can "green machined" to near net size before firing and then
"hard" ground using diamond tooling to tolerances less than 0.0002" (0.005 mm). Special grades of
zirconia can be enhanced with additives to create a multiphase material and also metallized creating
an option to be brazed to metal parts.

Applications:

Although there are a number of uses for Zirconia, the application of a Zirconia sleeve for a mud pump
liner is gaining increasing attention. Although other materials have been used for mud pump liners
such as high chromed sleeves and Aluminum Oxide sleeves, Zirconia is gaining favor in this
application.

A Zirconia sleeve is much harder than a chrome sleeve and therefore offers longer life. Although
Ziconia is softer than Alumina, it is not as brittle and therefore will survive low impact shock loading
and moderately rough handling. The run life of these two ceramic materials is very close, however
because of the careful handling required by Alumina sleeved liners to prevent cracking damage,
Zirconia liners are preferred. The Multiphase compound process results in a much smaller grain size
which is one of the factors to improve wear life.

Operational Characteristics:
Standard chrome sleeve liners wear at a rate of about .007" to .010" on the diameter per 100 hours
under normal conditions. When a liner reaches about .070" over nominal diameter the engagement
with the piston reduces to a point that blow by begins, resulting in piston failure. The liner wears like
a barrel on the ID resulting in the maximum wear at the center of the stroke. The ends of the liner will
be at the original nominal diameter.

Ceramic sleeve liner will wear in the same way as chrome liners but at a rate of about .001" or less
per 100 hours. This rate of wear will result in potential life of 10,000 or more hours. Of course there
are a number of variables which would shorten or even lengthen the run time. Recent tests
conducted with KCA Duetag and Nabors Drilling have confirmed that wear of only .020 or less have
occurred in 4000 hours. Projection of this wear rate would indicate a life of 14,000 hours or more.

Urethane pistons are recommended for use with ceramic liners. Piston life in a ceramic liner is
variable. The initial piston normally will only run about 200 hours or less. During the initial run the
piston further smoothes the liner ID. Subsequent pistons have been known to run much longer up to
500 or 600 hours. However, as the liner becomes worn, the piston lip will begin to loose interference
with the liner ID, reducing run life.

The above noted run times are dependent on operating conditions. Typical conditions are pressure
to 3800 psi, stroke rate to 90 spm, temperature below 170 degrees F, clean mud with weights of 11 to
14 lbs. and a high volume water flush to the back of the piston is required. Higher pressures, stroke
rates and temperatures will increase the wear rate.
