Fluid End Valve Seats for Oil & Gas Mud Pumps & Fracking Pumps

Mud pump valve seats are used in on-shore and offshore oil and gas drilling operations and in pumps used in land-based fracking operations. 

Valves used in these types of pumping equipment operate at a very high frequency – up to one hertz (one cycle per second) – and are prone to high wear and degradation from hysteresis.  

Parker’s premium grade valve seats feature our Resilon® Polyurethane which has a high modulus of elasticity to successfully withstand high frequency operation and resist hysteresis. 

 

Where typical urethane valves may last up to 400 hours, our proven valve seat designs with Resilon Polyurethane have lasted up to 800 hours (400 hours longer) – greatly improving drilling productivity through longer life.  

Longer valve seat life means maintenance intervals can be extended and production jobs can be completed before service is required.
