Custom Oilfield Pistons and Valves for Extreme Pressure and Temperature

In oil and gas drilling, pistons and valves face relentless pressure, heat, and abrasive fluids that can destroy standard components. That’s why industry leaders trust our custom-molded polyurethane pistons and valves, engineered for high-performance in harsh oilfield environments. Whether you're dealing with worn liners, aggressive mud systems, or high-load fluid ends—we design components to withstand the toughest conditions.

Polyurethane Pistons and Valves Built for Harsh Oilfield Conditions

We’ve manufactured thousands of custom pistons and valves for some of the most demanding projects in oil and gas. While we don’t share names, our parts are behind high-performing systems operating at pressures up to 7,500 PSI and temperatures up to 300˚F—on rigs where reliability can't be optional. Our custom solutions include:

PISTONS: 

  • Bonded Polyurethane Pistons - Ideal for oil-based, synthetic, or water-based muds
  • High-Temperature Elastomers - For extreme heat and chemical resistance
  • Dual-Durometer Designs – For added flexibility and compression in worn liners
  • Precision Bonding to Metal Hubs – Prevents insert movement and fluid intrusion
  • Custom Sizes and Profiles – Designed to fit your exact fluid end module

VALVES:

  • Bonded Insert Valves – Permanently bonded for longer life and no fluid migration
  • High-Temperature Valve Inserts – Made with the same trusted elastomers as our pistons
  • Full-Open, Streamlined Designs – Reduces turbulence and valve washouts
  • Metal-to-Metal Bearing Surfaces – Minimizes wear and enhances structural integrity
  • Mission-Style Compatibility – Fully interchangeable with existing equipment

Why Custom Matters

Most systems don’t run under “standard” conditions, so why rely on standard parts? When you invest in custom components made specifically for your environment, you get superior performance and reliability. Custom parts offer better sealing and fit, reducing the chances of failures and the need for frequent replacements. They also improve pump efficiency, extend the life of components under harsh conditions, and provide consistent, repeatable performance.

We collaborate closely with engineering and procurement teams to ensure the components we develop match the unique demands of the job—not just the spec sheet. This approach ensures the parts we provide are optimized for the toughest environments, giving you a competitive edge in the field.

From Concept to Completion

Whether you’re ready to send us a mold or need help finalizing your design, we make the process seamless and straightforward. Our U.S.-based team is here to support you every step of the way, from material recommendations to design refinement and prototyping. We offer full in-house manufacturing capabilities and maintain rigorous quality control from start to finish, ensuring each component meets the highest standards.
