Maximize fracturing uptime with reliable frac valves

Cameron frac valves have earned a reputation for quality and reliability. Gate valves in frac trees and manifolds frequently flow and control high-pressure, high-volume, abrasive fracturing fluids for days—and even weeks. Given the erosive, corrosive, and sometimes sour nature of typical fracturing and flowback fluids, these valves are trimmed for maximum corrosion and erosion protection and feature

• corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) inlay in seat pockets and ring grooves

• zero-chamfer flowbores to mitigate turbulence and hence erosion

• two ports for flushing and greasing the valve body cavity.

Because of these features and the industry’s most stringent maintenance program, which can include cleaning, disassembly, inspection, reassembly, and testing before valves returned from the field are assigned to the next project, Cameron frac valves provide three times more uptime compared with other suppliers, minimizing NPT and related costs.
