API V11 Valve Pairs
API V11 Ball and Seat
Matched carbide valve pairs for subsurface sucker rod oil well pumps
Product Detail
Application Example
API V11 Series Carbide Ball and Seat Valve Pair Supply
Tungsten carbide ball and seat valve pairs in the API V11 series produced for subsurface oil well pumps together with ball and seat blanks.
Client Background
Client Background
Artificial lift applications using sucker rod pumps where the valve pair is the wear critical item. The customer name is not disclosed.
Project Challenge
Supply ball and seat as a matched pair so the sealing behaviour is consistent and also supply blanks for pump builders who lap in house.
Customer Pain Points
- Sand cut on the sealing faces destroys pump volumetric efficiency
- Ball and seat bought separately do not always lap together correctly
- A failed valve pair means pulling the rod string and losing production
Our Solution
Production covers finished API V11 series valve pairs and tungsten carbide ball and seat blanks so both fitters and pump manufacturers can be supplied from the same source.
Final Result
API V11 series valve pairs and ball and seat blanks are produced for subsurface oil well pump service.
Customer Benefit
Matched carbide pairs resist the sand cut that ends the life of softer valve materials and keep the pump holding pressure for longer.
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Was Produced
1. Pressing of ball and seat blanks
2. Sinter-HIP densification
3. Grinding of seat and ball geometry
4. Pairing and set packing where finished pairs are ordered
