VALPECA produces a complete line of pumps for oil extraction, according to API 11AX specifications, as well as pumps and their replacement parts for special production conditions, manufactured with different materials to meet clients’ needs.
All these products are manufactured in the Comodoro Rivadavia Industrial Plant, in compliance with API Q1 and ISO 9001 international standards.
The description of a complete pump includes: nominal tubing size, basic pump bore, type of pump including type of barrel, location and type of seating assembly, barrel length in feet, nominal plunger length in feet, and total length of every extensions in feet, if corresponds. The way to express this and the meaning of each part of the code is detailed in the table below:
Additionally, to complete the pump description, the following information must be provided:
Friction between barrel and plunger is a very important factor to consider when designing pumps, since it will determine their run life.
The correct choice of the clearance, so as to enable the formation of a lubricating layer between working surfaces, will result in a high-performing unit. Therefore, precision and surface finishing determine the plunger reliability.
There are many types of plungers made from different materials, so that they can be adapted to different fluids, uses and working conditions. However, the most widely used has an outside coating. Its adherence, thickness, uniformity and hardness will be key factors in determining its durability.
The most commonly used materials and their main features are:
Our barrels comply with strict controls from reception of raw materials to packaging inspection.
Quality control is performed to each manufactured piece, guaranteeing 100% of compliance with international quality standards. Barrels are manufactured using the most modern techniques of precision honing and polishing to obtain an internal mirror-polish surface.
Valpeca provides the following barrel qualities:
Pump parts and fittings are manufactured by Bolland in compliance with strict standards that ensure their quality and interchangeability.
These parts are made of the following materials:
All cages are manufactured under strict standards that ensure the quality and interchangeability stated in API 11AX specification, and come in the following types:
Pump valves are made up of seats and balls and are a key component that works under high hydraulic pressure due to depth. Only a perfect design and the right choice of materials can guarantee their run life.
