Title Enhanced Lubrication Kalsi Seals Description The 568-Series Enhanced Lubrication Kalsi Seals were developed to reduce torque and seal-generated heat in high pressure surface applications, where higher hydrodynamic leakage can be tolerated, and thinner viscosity lubricants may be encountered. Examples of relevant oilfield surface applications are rotary blowout preventers, rotary heads, and multi-port hydraulic swivels.

Title JarPro™ Drillstring Jarring Analysis Software Description JarPro is a general-purpose 2D jarring analysis program used for performing many phases of the jarring analysis ranging from jar placement optimization to detailed time histories of jarring impact. Users of JarPro can reduce the potential for damaging or losing a BHA by proper selection and placement of jar and accelerators. JarPro can analyze complex drillstring configurations efficiently using relatively simple inputs, thus facilitating its use by drilling engineers and rig personnel.

Title Kalsi Bearings™ Description The Kalsi hydrodynamic thrust bearing incorporates a compact patented geometry that hydroplanes on a lubricant film during rotation, much like tire slippage on a wet road. This dramatically reduces friction, compared to conventional thrust bushings, allowing significantly higher loads and speeds, and providing longer life and reduced bearing-generated heat.

Title Kalsi K-Cartridge Description The Kalsi K-Cartridge was developed to address the extreme rotary sealing challenges that are encountered in oilfield well service mixing and charging pumps. The illustrated version of the K-Cartridge replaces the removable stuffing box on Gardner-Denver and Twentieth Century brand 4 x 5” and 5 x 6” centrifugal pumps. The K-Cartridge can be adapted for a variety of applications including pumps with integral stuffing boxes. PDF Click here to download PDF Website Click For Website

Title Kalsi Seals® Description Kalsi Seals are a family of patented, one-piece rotary seals that provide hydrodynamic lubrication to minimize seal and shaft wear, and to accommodate high differential pressure. They are used for lubricant retention and contaminant exclusion. They are used extensively in oilfield equipment, and in severe service applications in other industries.

Title Mud Motor Seals Description Sealed bearing mud motors have several rotary seal locations, and all are critical to reliability. A rotary seal in an axially floating pressure compensation piston is used to balance the lubricant pressure to the drillstring bore pressure. A rotary seal in a fixed location is used to withstand the high pressure differential between the lubricant and the well annulus pressure. A rotary seal in an axially floating barrier piston protects the high pressure seal from the drilling fluid. PDF Click here to download PDF Website Click For Website
