CERAMIC ZIRCONIA LINER
CERAMIC ZIRCONIA LINER
F&CO® OILFIELD SOLUTIONS distributes Zirconia-ceramic liner is our premium and best performing product. It offers unique durability and promotes the longest piston life in extreme drilling conditions. Effectively resistant to heat, pressure, and corrosion, it is the ultimate in liner technology available today.
Although initial costs are higher than traditional chrome-iron liners, the durability of the liner and the longer run times it promotes on pistons, equals into lower overall costs.
F&CO® OILFIELD SOLUTIONS distributes Zirconia-ceramic liner and these are produced from a unique Zirconium-based ceramic compound that is extremely pure. This proprietary fine-grain structure Zirconium-based matrix is free of the impurities that affect lesser products. No other ceramic-liner material has better fraction toughness, which enables us to offer a ceramic liner that is hard and long lasting, tough, crack resistant, and not susceptible to thermal shock.
Zirconia has three important property advantages over alumina ceramic liners:
- Zirconia shows better impact strength.
- Zirconia is harder and less brittle than alumina.
- Zirconia can be honed to finer surface finishes than alumina. Finished to 4 RMS, the zirconia liners provide a surface finish that is three to four times finer than alumina.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
• Directly extends the service life of the sleeve.
• You significantly reduce the costs of replacing broken liners in the field.
• Less friction with the elastomer and-metal pump pistons translates into reduced liner and piston wear.
• Increased impact characteristics.
• Lower thermal load on the liner wash system.
• Higher thermal ratings.
• Improved performance for high temperature applications.
• Zirconia offers the lowest overall cost of ownership of any liner style.
