UPSTREAM MIDSTREAM DOWNSTREAM
Introducing the first and only multiple process stock shapes to receive M-710 NORSOK certification. Quadrant’s Ketron® 1000 PEEK was formulated in cooperation with our oil and gas industry partners to deliver long-lasting maximum performance in the most extreme temperature and high-pressure environments.

In all areas of the oil, gas & petrochemical industry, engineering and maintenance teams are focused on:
Increasing MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) Increasing MTBR (Mean Time Between Rebuild) Building equipment that increases the efficiency of a system
– producing more product with the same capital equipment Reducing “cost in use” of new designs and newly rebuilt equipment
These increasing demands mean that some traditional materials just can’t get the job done. For example, materials with an inability to maintain dimensional stability in operation, cause significant losses in efficiency and capacity.
Parts that wear prematurely, cut into your production schedule, and increase operational spending towards reducing their service life. That can mean the obvious losses in production profit.
New choices for new challenges
Quadrant has a proven and growing portfolio of engineering materials for components that handle these challenging conditions.
It includes materials that: Reduce weight and power requirements Survive a wide range of chemicals and abrasives Increase MTBR Outwear standard materials by a factor of 10 or more – while reducing
frictional drag Hold dimensions over wide temperature swings Resist catastrophic upsets/failures––minimizing other hardware
damage.production profit.
To simplify things
A few key properties of engineering plastics – with the optimum design – have a major effect on equipment productivity.
This guide helps simplify the material selection challenge:
It groups materials by their application, product media and temperature capability Each group then compares materials on their physical/mechanical properties It also compares another key factor – relative cost

WHY PLASTICS
Material performance improves efficiency and reliability
Quadrant has significant experience in many compressor, valve and pump applications. Our broad range of materials provides the ideal material for each application without compromising performance – or cost. Our materials are selected for these applications for many reasons.
Improved Chemical ResistanceQuadrant’s Advanced Engineering Plastics offer a broad range of fluid chemical resistance. Ketron® PEEK is resistant to most chemicals excluding oxidizing agents. Techtron® PPS has no known solvents below 400˚F (204˚C), and Fluorosint® 500 PTFE is only attacked by molten alkalis and very few other chemicals.
Improved Overall EfficiencyDesign engineers can design and implement polymeric components with reduced running clearances. Reducing wear component clearance by 50% increases output and reduces vibration, and MTBF for typical efficiency gains of 4–5%. (See Fig. 1) Should equipment upsets occur, damage to mating components is negligible, unlike metal components where contact during failure can cause permanent damage.
Reduced Weight & Power RequirementsMaterials from Quadrant have excellent strength-to-weight ratios approaching non-ferrous metals. Engineers can modify designs based on these lighter weight improving installation procedures and reducing overall system weight, which translates into lower power consumption improving output and economics.
Increased MTBR (Mean Time Between Rebuild)When compressors and pumps undergo upset conditions such as suction loss (cavatation), slow rolling or startup conditions, Quadrant’s materials continue to run without issue. These advanced materials do not gall or seize, eliminating damage to expensive mating parts, reducing repair costs while extending time between maintenance and repairs. Advanced Engineering Plastic materials save money for the operator, reduce vibration and eliminate shaft deflection––while increasing seal and bearing life for smoother dynamic operation.
Reduced Frictional DragThe low CLTE and wear resistance of our polymeric materials such as Ketron® HPV PEEK, wear grades of Duratron® PAI and Fluorosint® Enhanced-PTFE eliminate seizures, improves measurable performance ratios, and allows internal rotating to stationary part clearances to be reduce by at least 50%. Quadrant’s Advanced Engineering Plastic materials provide dry running capability while reducing damage from direct contact. Unlike metals, these wear-resistant components do not generate excessive heat when in contact with mating parts during operation, avoiding seizures during periods of suction loss. For example, pumps equipped with many of Quadrant’s materials are able to run dry for extended periods of time while avoiding catastrophic failures and/or premature shutdown, typical of metal pump wear rings.
Reduced VOC EmissionsThese advanced materials are very compliant, and maintain flexibility at temperature extremes from Cryogenic up to 600°F (315°C), allowing for tight shutoff and longer reliable service complying with EPA and European low-emission standards.

What is a pump?
A PUMP is a machine that moves fluids (either liquids or gases) by mechanical action. Normally we think of PUMPS moving liquids (incompressible fluid). A PUMP moving a gas (compressible fluid) is actually called a COMPRESSOR. There are different types of pumps, some of which are explained below.
DynamicPositive displacementDraws in and captures volume of fluid in a chamber, then mechanically forces that volume to a discharge.
Reciprocating Piston Pump
Rotary Lobe Pump
Axial Pump
Centrifugal Pump
Rotary Screw Pump
Reciprocating:Uses linear shaft movement to move a chamber of fluid.
Centrifugal:Draws fluid in via the center of impeller, then accelerates fluid outward. Fluid then hits casing reducing velocity and increasing pressure.
Rotary:Uses linear shaft movement to move a chamber of fluid.
Axial:Uses a series of blades to force fluid in desired direction. Also sometimes called a propeller pump.
Creates high fluid velocity and converts the velocity topressure in a diffusing flow passage.
Other pumps include vertical, horizontal and process pumps which can all be either Positive
Displacement or Dynamic.

Reduced wear ring clearance increases pump efficiency, decreases vibration
and allows pumps to run longer. The reduced clearance minimizes recirculation while maintaining the same production flow. When the same amount of power is used and production flow is maintained the efficiency of the pump is increased dramatically. Efficiency gains of 2 to 5% are typical.

What is a compressor?
A COMPRESSOR is a PUMP that compresses and moves compressible fluids.....aka GAS. There are different types of compressors, some of which are explained below.
Advanced thermoplastics can be used for compressor moving parts, shrouds, and various seals to reduce clearances, prolong wear life, and improve performance and efficiencies.
DynamicPositive displacementDraws in and captures volume of gas in a chamber, then reduces the volume of that chamber to compress the gas.
Piston Compressor
Axial Gas Turbine Compressor
Centrifugal Turbine
Sliding Vane Compressor
Reciprocating:Uses linear shaft movement to compress a chamber of gas.
Centrifugal:Draws air to center of impeller, then accelerates gas outward. Gas then hits a diffuser reducing velocity and increasing pressure.
Rotary:Uses rotating shaft movement to move a chamber which then compresses gas.
Axial:Uses a series of blades to force fluid in desired direction. Also sometimes called a propeller pump.
Speeds up gas to a high velocity, then restricts the gas flow so reduction in velocity causes pressure increase.

Typical Labyrinth Tooth Designs at Critical SpeedsAt critical speeds, an angled polymer tooth will deflect with shaft (similar to a cantilever) where the aluminum tooth will deform or “mushroom over”
Typical Labyrinth Tooth Designs after Critical Speeds After exposure to critical speed the thermoplastic tooth will return to original shape due to the plastic “memory” of the engineering thermoplastic while the aluminum tooth remains damaged

Tooth on Rotor Application Story:
Rotating equipment, like compressors, that have moving teeth or impeller blades benefit from shaft seals or shrouds made from abradeable materials.
Problem: Threat of metal to metal contact results in increased clearances, excessive leakage and decreasing efficiency. Also risking damage to rotors, shafts and bearings.
Solution: Fluorosint®
Abradeable polymer seal allows for rotating blades or teeth to cut into the polymer for the tightest clearance Reduced clearance = less leakage, higher efficiency Resistance to harsh chemical service = less corrosion

APPLICATION STORIES
Tooth on Stator Application Story:
Compressors that have seals with stationary teeth require materials with extreme dimensional stability at high temperatures.
Problem: Typical Aluminum seals deform or “roll-over” during standard shaft rubs resulting in increased clearance and loss of efficiency. In addition, corrosion of metal seals can be a real problem in aggresssive gases.
Solution: Duratron® PAI or Ketron® PEEK Polymer seals are resilient eliminating tooth roll-over and comeback
preserving tight tolerances Tighter clearances are achieved at start up and maintained longer compared
to metal seals Increased efficiencies result in tremendous savings over the life
of the unit

Materials to ANSI Class Selection Tool
Quadrant has developed this tool to match materials to appropriate ANSI classes as defined in standard B16.5. This tool was developed using customer feedback and intended to help a designer select a range of materials that should satisfy most applications. It does not replace the specific design review and testing that Quadrant advocates for all applications. To select a material, use the vertical axis to choose the area under the required ANSI class, then move along the horizontal axis until the proper application temperature is found.
For example, Techtron® HPV PPS would be a good choice for a supported application that needs to meet Class 300 at an operating temperature of approximately 250°F (121°C). The matrix provided on the following page provides additional information about specific application areas.
Once you have narrowed your search, review of specific physical and chemical performance characteristics can help identify the most appropriate material for use. Physical and chemical performance data is summarized in this guide. It is also available online at www.quadrantepp.com and offered in Quadrant’s Products and Applications Guide and Quadrant’s Design and Fabrication Guide.

*Quadrant considers HDT, or Heat Deflection Temperature @ 264 psi/1820 kpa (ASTM D648) as typically the best way to compare materials for applications under load. Some supplier data unfortunately reflects only Continuous Use Temperature (CUT). This can be very close to the melting point. It is mainly meant to indicate loss of toughness from temperature exposure over time for electrical enclosures. Our data tables typically show both values when they are available.

Ketron® PEEK?
The industry’s first NORSOK M-710 certified stock shapes for oil, gas and petrochemical applications.
Quadrant was the world’s FIRST stock shape manufacturer to earn NORSOK M-710 compliance and provides the most accurate and reliable data on their stock shapes. The NORSOK M-710 specification was developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry to ensure sufficient understanding and experience of oil and gas materials. It specifies a test procedure to predict the progressive degradation of thermoplastic materials exposed to a sour fluid at elevated pressure and temperature over an extended period of time. NORSOK M-710 defines the requirements for critical non-metallic (polymer) sealing, seat and back-up materials and components for permanent use subsea, including well completion, christmas trees, control systems & valves, and topside valves in critical gas systems.

Quadrant’s shape data approach?
You see, most plastic shape converters don’t have the resources to test and provide accurate data on the finished stock shapes you’re buying so they just pass on the raw material resin datasheet from their suppliers – this is termed “Data Dumping.” Besides hiding poor quality material results prone to critical part failure and machining issues, this tactic ignores the natural influence processing methods (Injection, Extrusion, Compression) have on a shape’s properties. Stopping the industry’s acceptance of mis-leading data reporting begins by demanding post-process Shape Data and is exactly why Quadrant developed The Shape Data ApproachTM to make it easy for customers to ensure they’re getting quality materials that are consistently on spec.
Polymer & fiber alignment differ by process
Fiber alignment differs by conversion process and part geometry. The result can be a significant difference in mechanical properties. Calling out the appropriate conversion process in your material specification is critical to ensure you get the properties and the correct material you need.
Process Matters. When writing a material
specification, call out the manufacturing process.

Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion, or CLTE, describes how the size of a part will change with changes in temperature. The smaller the material’s CLTE, the more dimensionally stable a part made from that material will be as the temperatures are varied. CLTE values are very important and must be accounted for in close tolerance applications such as compressor labyrinth seals, pump case wear rings, pump shaft and throat bushings.
Dynamic Mechanical Analysis, or DMA, indicates polymer stiffness at elevated temperature. These data are more relevant for engineering calculations than HDT as HDT is an instantaneous test. DMA parallels actual polymer modulus decay as the temperature is gradually increased resembling an actual operating condition. These data are useful in determining the polymer seal stiffness at operating temperatures, and the seal maximum service temperature.

*ENGINEERING NOTE: Like all PTFE-based shapes, Fluorosint® 500 PTFE exhibits a transition zone phenomena from 50°F (10°C) to 77°F (25°C). This phenomena and its associated change in volume needs to be taken into account when designing Fluorosint 500 PTFE seals.
