Following two years of research and more than USD $1 million invested in advanced engineering and comprehensive testing, Fort Worth, Texas-based Weir Oil & Gas has unveiled the new SPM® 2.0 valve & seat for well stimulation pumps used in shale plays globally.
Designed and manufactured from premium-grade materials and processes, the SPM 2.0 valve & seat encompasses a one-piece, patents-pending design, proprietary polymers, and innovative geometry – all of which work together to create one of the industry’s longest-lasting expendables. Validated through extensive testing to perform up to two times longer, the SPM 2.0 valve & seat is a vital component in helping oil and gas companies maximize their return on investment by delivering longer operational service life and increasing pumping hours.
Benefits include bonded valves and improved performance; increased resistance to abrasion, extrusion and flow erosion; and eliminates molding movement, leakage and separation from valve.
