Reliability, Efficiency, and Safety

Boulden Wear Materials

         We help customers transform the reliability, efficiency, and safety of their rotating and reciprocating equipment by upgrading wear components that were originally designed to optimize first-cost. Our business is uniquely focused on what end-users value most – total cost of ownership – while serving the diverse needs of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Machinery Repair Facilities. Our team brings deep application knowledge, advanced materials expertise, a proven track record of solving complex problems, and innovative thinking to every challenge – always with an intense focus on the customer.

Composite Pump Component Options

Whether it’s a Vespel® CR-6100 or a Boulden B-Series composite non-metallic pump components, we have the material in stock that will extend the life of your pump. Dupont™ Vespel® CR-6100 and Boulden B-Series products replace metal, carbon, bronze, and other composite materials for use in pump wear rings, vertical pump shaft bearings, throat bushings, throttle bushings, and similar wear parts in centrifugal pumps. Our composite material options include the following:
  • Vespel® CR-6100
  • Boulden B-835
  • Boulden B-920
  • Boulden B-1050
  • Metcar M-161
  • Metcar M-310

Composite Pump Component Options

Upgrading pumps with composite materials improves your pump reliability, efficiency, and safety. The Boulden B-Series and Dupont™ Vespel® CR-6100 non-metallic pump components are a group of materials developed and manufactured to provide a broad range of beneficial qualities including:
  • Reduced repair costs—avoid pump seizures
  • Easier pump operation—survive dry running
  • Lower pump vibration—increased Lomakin Effect
  • Lower operating costs—improved pump efficiency
  • Improved reliability – longer seal and bearing life

Pumps that break down don’t help you get your job done. Protect your pump from wear, damage and failure with parts made from Dupont™ Vespel® CR-6100.PSS Group carries a large inventory of DuPont™ Vespel® CR-6100 for the rotating equipment market. If you are looking for Vespel® CR-6100, we can ship the material you need today.

What is Vespel® CR-6100?

Vespel® CR-6100 is a composite material made from long carbon fibers and Teflon® PFA resin. Since 1997, Vespel® CR-6100 has been used across the hydrocarbon processing and other fluid handling industries to replace wear components made from metal, carbon, and other composites. Vespel® CR-6100 is made with a unique manufacturing process which orients the fibers in an x-y plane. For a wear part in a rotating machine, the x-y plane is the plane perpendicular to rotation. Below are some of the properties of Vespel® CR-6100 which make it ideal for rotating equipment wear components:
  • Temperature capabilities from cryogenic to 500⁰F (260⁰C)
  • Coefficient of thermal expansion less than carbon steel (in the x-y plane)
  • Near-universal chemical compatibility. We have not yet found a fluid used in the hydrocarbon processing industry which is chemically incompatible with Vespel® CR-6100.
  • Ease of machining and installation
