Application guidelines

• Offers a cost-effective solution with superior performance, operating across a wide temperature and pressure range.
• Devlon V-API is well suited to offshore applications where weight-saving, non-corrosive and impact wear properties are imperative.
• For added peace of mind, full traceability is offered through the inclusion of Positive Material Identification (PMI).
• The material properties are in no way altered or compromised by PMI technology, though its inclusion guarantees that genuine Devlon can be quickly and easily identified.

Typical applications for Devlon V-API:

• Valve seat inserts
• Bundle spacers
• Tubing hanging centralisers
• Cable protectors
• Hot stabs
