BETTER supplies a wide range of liners to fit most popular mud pump types. Triplex and duplex are both available for high chrome liners, chrome plated liners, hardened single steel liners, and Zirconia ceramic liners. All these liners are manufactured by advanced technology, with metallurgical control and rigid inspection to ensure its high quality.
All our liners are made of high strength forged steel hulls, the inner sleeves are mounted in the hull to a tightness averaging 18 thousands tight. After the hull and sleeve are assembled, the I.D. of the liner is honed to a perfect circle like a mirror. And HP design with shoulder-on-hull design is machined to prevent sleeve slippage and overcome the high pressure drilling conditions.
ZIRCONIA-CERAMIC LINERS
BETTER's Zirconia-ceramic liner is produced from a unique Zirconium-based ceramic compound that is extremely pure and stabilized, so that it avoids Alumina-ceramic liners's brittle, and exhibits better polished, impact strenght, long lasting, tough, crack resistant than Alumina-ceramic liner.
With these property advantages, the liners' sevice life will be greatly extended,and an indirect effect will reduce the friction between the liner and pistons, which in trun extends piston life and reduces pump-cooling requirements, and good performance on the high temperature application. Finally, it will save a huge cost for the drilling work.
What is Zirconia?
• Its great hardness, low reactivity, and high melting point have made it the oldest mineral that can be found on earth.
• Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO 2 ), also known as zirconia is a white crystalline oxide of the element zirconium (Zr).
• Exists naturally as the mineral Baddeleyite.
• One of the most studied ceramic materials.
Zirconia Case Study
→ Conducted four year case study and collected over 12,000 pumping hours
→ Pumps using Chromium Liners had expendable cost of $47,000 vs. $11,000 for Zirconia Liners
→Pump shutdowns were 4x higher (8 vs. 32) in chromium pumps compared to Zirconia
→ Zirconia lined pumps used approximately 1/5 of the pistons compared to chromium lined pumps
Zirconia Benefits
→ Ceramic Liners out perform steel Liners
→ Zirconia is significantly stronger and tougher than Alumina in bending or tension, often by a factor of 4 or more
→ Does not require self aligning piston rods
→ Extended Life and less wear reduces overall expendable cost
→ Traditional liner hourly cost is approximately $1.05 per hour, while Zirconia Liners are approximately $.23 per hour
