Liners

Zirconia is more than 25% harder than Chromium alloys which results in a significantly lower wear rate of the liner sleeve. Considering the smoother surface, piston life is greatly extended. In a past case study, a pump with Chromium liners used 55 pistons over the test period compared to only 12 pistons used in the pump outfitted with Zirconia liners. Piston savings exceeded $8,000 not to mention reduced maintenance downtime.

Traditional liner hourly cost is approximately $1.05 per hour, while Zirconia Liners are approximately $.23 per hour.
