IMPROVING THE WEAR RESISTANCE OF SEALING CUFFS AND PISTONS OF DRILLING PUMPS

Modern technology, including equipment for the production and operation of oil and gas wells, is characterized by significant specifics of the design of machines and units with a wide range of technological functions, combined with a variety of standard sizes and modifications. One of such equipment is drilling rigs, where the main part of this installation is mud pumps. that the most vulnerable part of the pump is its hydraulic part, or rather the piston group. The work is devoted to improving the operability of the piston group of mud pumps, in particular, the choice of material for the manufacture of sealing elements of the specified unit. Keywords: Mud pump, piston, sealing sleeve, composite material, wear resistance, friction.
