Mud Pump Liner

Mud Pump Liner

Mud pumps are high-pressure, reciprocating pumps used extensively in drilling operations to circulate drilling fluids (mud) into the borehole. These fluids carry cuttings to the surface and stabilize well pressure. The mud pump liner, or sleeve, is a critical wear component inside the pump cylinder, exposed to continuous abrasion and high-pressure cycles.

Ceramic mud pump liners are engineered to outperform traditional steel or bi-metallic liners by using ultra-hard ceramic sleeves that significantly reduce wear, erosion, and friction. These liners are essential in ensuring consistent pump performance and longer maintenance intervals, especially in deep drilling and high-pressure environments.
