High-contact force sealing lip design coupled with compression set resistant Resilon seal material retains lubricating oil in the power end, eliminating necessity of shut down to add fluid

One of the challenges oil and gas companies face is sustaining seal life in challenging applications. Parker’s proprietary Resilon® material offers superior wear resistance and the highest operating temperature on the market to ensure performance and reduce downtime due to seal failure.

Plunger pumps are the workhorse of oil and gas fracking and drilling operations. They circulate high pressure fluid down the well and back up the annulus in both land and off-shore operations. When pumps are offline for planned or unplanned maintenance to replace leaking fluid, or worn seals, your operations stop.

Parker’s patented pony rod seal extends continuous service with a longer lasting, reliable design that retains lubrication and prevents leakage of hydraulic fluid in the power end and also serves as a rod wiper to keep contaminants out.

The Sur-Lock Rod Link System was developed to provide a safer and faster way to unfasten the piston rod and remove the piston from the liner. The sub rod contains a proprietary “wedge lock” mechanism that allows the piston and pony rods to be connected by simply inserting pins and turning a bolt. No hydraulic fitting, seals, or pumps are necessary.

The system uses rods and rod extensions that are 100% compatible with the same parts from the P-Quip system. Additionally, our torque module can completely replace the P-Quip hydraulic module in plug-and-play fashion.

We developed the Sur-Line system to prevent mud and other fluids from passing into the power section from the fluid end section of the mud pump, and to prevent fluid from going from the power section into the fluid end section.

The Sur-Line system uses a unique floating seal system that bolts into the wall between the power section and the fluid end section. The seals inside this housing seal against the OD of the pony rod, thus preventing fluid from passing between the two sections of the mud pump.

We carry parts to fit pumps from most major manufacturers. Sur-Line® systems are simple enough to be installed by the rig crew, or can be installed by our technical service department at the rig site.

Drilling consumables such as mud pump systems and their components can drastically increase your uptime while reducing costs and health/safety/environmental (HSE) risks. To support your drilling needs, Forum’s patented P-Quip® mud pump system offers a single-source solution that integrates high-quality fluid end components for maximum longevity and performance.

With more than 20 years of successful operation in severe environments, P-Quip offers a proven track record for the lowest cost of ownership in the industry. As part of our commitment to quality, our mud pump parts use patented Banded Bore™ technology that significantly reduces stress concentrations and leads to longer module life.

Polyurethane has been an industry standard for dynamic sealing in hydraulic applications for more than 30 years. But polyurethane materials are not all formulated from the same hard- and soft-segment chemistry. The specific diisocyanate and chain extenders used in the synthesis of a polyurethane affect its physical and mechanical properties. When looking to achieve the best performance with mud and frac pumps, Parker’s Resilon® polyurethane is recommended. Our proprietary PPDI (p-phenylene diisocyanate) TPU formulation is specifically suited for injection molding of both large and small articles while retaining superior high-temperature performance.

The characteristics common to Resilon formulations make this PPDI class of material a leading choice for high pressure, dynamic sealing applications. These characteristics include exceptional:

"Our sales team members receive inquiries from well completion operators who are frustrated when they are interrupted and have to shut down to replenish gallons of hydraulic fluid lost from leaking seals. These operators and their service technicians who are in the field doing the change-overs make it known they "want the the tan colored pony rod seal," referring to Parker"s recognizable tan-colored Resilon 4300 formulation. Some operators are so pleased with the performance of the Parker pony rod seal they are demanding that the mud pump manufacturers install it as a condition to deploy their pumps on the job site."

Suction and Discharge Cover Seals. Our HGP Profile suction and discharge cover seals provide four times the reliable service life compared to traditional elastomer D-rings. Owing to its combination of unique geometry and Resilon 4300 polyurethane material, the HGP Profile resists wear due to the abrasive fluid proppant, high pressure and vibrating motion generated by high frequency pulsating pressurization. The tough, rugged material improves sealing reliability and minimizes degradation of fluid end mating hardware.

With well conditions becoming increasingly challenging and taking a toll on equipment and expendables, you require sealing products that will enable you to achieve greater production efficiencies, improve performance and reduce down time. Whether you service frac pumps, run completion operations, or build frac pump equipment, Parker’s proprietary Resilon materials can improve your bottom line by:
