Type K

 

Torus Pressure Control manufactures 3 & 4 inch Type K BOPs, in 1,500 & 3,000 psi working pressures with female threaded connections.  These are extremely small, light and cost-effective units & there are no metal ‘fingers’ in the packers.  The Type K is a strong choice for sensitive work: striping, sucker rod and geothermal applications.  Ask about our hand-pump closure systems and Hi-Temp options as well.

Mining Applications:  The type K is time proven in mining applications, such as pilot hole boring, coring and grouting.   Safeguard your project against water or gas intrusion.  WE NOW OFFER A NEW “BARREL” TYPE K THAT IS SMALLER AND LIGHTER – IN SOME CASES IT CAN BE 1/4 THE WEIGHT!
