Those familiar with the terminology of drilling rig must know what a pulsation dampener is, but for others it might sound confusing. A pulsation dampener is actually a vessel, which is filled with gas, mostly Nitrogen. The main function of a pulsation dampener is to isolate the gas from the circuit liquid so as to avoid the loss of gas. The material used to separate the fluids is generally made of Nitrile and (NBR) and Hydrogenated Nitrile (HNBR). There are several other functions of a pulsation dampener besides from separating gas from fluid. Like for example, the extreme pressure that is discharged on the side of the positive displacement pumps can cause pulsations and fatigue failures that can cause failure of pipe supports, downstream pipe and other equipment. A pulsation dampener may also need to reduce the load on the main pump. It is also used for preventing damage of the pipe that can be caused due to vibration.

At Integrated Equipment, we manufacture drilling pulsation dampeners which have single piece construction and no girth welds. The inside surface is machined for smooth diaphragm movement. These diaphragms can be replaced without removing the unit from line. We also provide field replaceable top and plates so as to reduce downtime. Some of the other features provided by Integrated Equipment’s pulsation dampener would be the diaphragm equipped with stabilizer to eliminate possible folding and entrapment of fluids resulting in increased diaphragm life. We manufacture these models; IE-10-3000, IE-10-5000, IE-20-3000, IE-20-5000 and IE-20-7500.

Production pulsation dampeners are also manufactured by Integrated Equipment, which are compact in design, and require no external support structure. To keep the fluid in the diaphragm, we have isolated the body cavity. Nitrile (NBR) and Hydrogenated Nitrile (HNBR) diaphragms are standard. We have production pulsation dampeners from size range 1 gallon to 20 gallons. The charging valve assembly is fully enclosed and protected. All rubber components supplied with Integrated Equipment pulsation dampeners as original equipment and / or furnished as replacement parts are under Integrated Equipment’s design and quality control and carry Integrated Equipment’s standard manufacturer’s warranty.

It is very important to select the right type of pulsation dampener, only the manufacturer who has the thorough knowledge of the bits and parts of a pulsation dampener, like Integrated Equipment can provide the best service in the industry. All products manufactured here at Integrated Equipment are accredited per ISO 9001. Another specialty of pulsation dampeners produced by Integrated Equipment is that, the bodies for both, drilling pulsation dampener and production dampener are protected by heavy duty impact and resistant protective covers. We provide our customers with scheduled as well as emergency maintenance for all products. Integrated can also recondition and/or remanufacture any size of valve, wellhead equipment, control system, actuator and so on. Integrated Equipment’s products are used all over the world, so whenever and wherever you need any of the oil drilling equipment, we will be at your service.

Elastomer Products – Pipe Wipers

There is a huge range of elastomer products that are put to use in different industries. Like for example, in the automobile industry, elastomer products like ball joints and anti-vibration mounts are used. Annular blowout preventer packing unit, annular blowout seal kits, ram blowout spare parts, pipe wipers, wiper cutter assembly, drill pipe protector, tong and elevator straps and aero union tubes are some of the Elastomer products used in the oil drilling industry.

To begin with, pipe wiper is not a pipe or has nothing to do with a pipe. It is in fact a device shaped like disk, which is generally made of rubber and has a hole in the center. The function of a pipe wiper is quite easy to understand. A pipe wiper is used for getting rid of oil or any other liquid, when the fluid is being extracted from the wellbore. A pipe wiper is generally used during the regular maintenance repair process.

Different types of rubber are used to make pipe wipers. Drill pipe wiper has to be made of specially designed rubber, as it has to have the capacity to sustain the tremendous pressure, abrasion and tearing. The kind of rubber to be used depends on the purpose of the pipe wiper. At Integrated Equipment, we use proprietary engineered rubber compound to make pipe wipers. The material we use for making the pipe wipers is resistant to both oil-based drilling and water. The wear and tear properties of this compound, makes it resistant to tearing, abrasion and cutting.

The three types of pipe wipers that are manufactured by Integrated Equipment are regular dual wipers, type F wipers and split dual wipers. The regular dual wipers are quite easy to install. They provide flexible and double wiping action on drill strings where oversize tool joint and pipe protectors are used. We make use of steel reinforcing rings to prevent collapse.

Split dual wipers manufactured by us are used on the drills which have a solid master bushing. Our split dual wipers are installed in tear-proof sloths which can easily cut through the outer edge of the wiper, so that it becomes easy to install. The type F wipers are designed for drilling and workover rigs which do not have much room below the master bushing.

All types of pipe wipers manufactured by Integrated Equipment are resistant to water and oil-based mud, so you don’t have to worry about replacing the Pipe wipers for a long time. Integrated Equipment not only manufactures oil drilling equipment, it also provides quality after-service including emergency servicing. Under field services we also do onsite inspections and re-certifications. Every kind of technical need that can be needed in case of any of Integrated Equipment’s products will be provided at any hour.
