Increased reliability and durability for extended service life
Victrex lined pipes have been used in a highly deviated rod pumped well to reduce failure and downtime. The Victrex lined pipes were in service for 9 months without failure compared to the steel pipes which would fail due to wear of the steel pipes after 3 months service.
Improved operating performance reduces the risk of costly downtime due to component failure
The steel tubing used in highly deviated rod pumped oil wells can experience high rates of wear leading to unplanned downtime. VICTREX Pipes™ have been used as a liner in the steel tubing and have significantly extended the life of the well tubing.
Overall system cost reduction from lower maintenance and reduced downtime
As companies look to reduce costs, a critical element is the high and sometimes volatile costs of corrosion resistant alloys (CRAs). To address these challenges, manufacturers are increasingly turning to high performance polymers. VICTREX Pipes™ used as a liner in a carbon steel host pipe can potentially reduce the system cost and provide excellent corrosion resistance.
VICTREX® PEEK polymer has been qualified for aerospace applications and is manufactured under ISO 9001
VICTREX Pipes™ are FDA and EU approved for food contact use and are RoHS, GADSL and 3-A Sanitary Standards compliant. They are inherently halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21 and are manufactured as part of the ISO 9001 quality management system. VICTREX Pipes™ are BSE/TSE compliant and manufactured to EMEA/410/01 Rev 2.
