Springs for Oil & Gas Equipment

Springs are integral to oil and gas exploration, extraction, and transportation. They contribute to the functionality of various systems and help enhance operational safety.

Drilling and Extraction: Springs are used in the drilling process, particularly in pneumatic and hydraulic drilling systems. Due to the repetitive nature of the drilling motion, shock and vibration absorption are critical. Products like compression springs help mitigate these forces, reducing equipment wear and minimising the risk of structural failures or oil and gas leaks.
Offshore Platform Equipment: On offshore rigs, components like valve springs are used in valve actuation systems, safety shutoff mechanisms, and pipeline supports. These components ensure smooth operation under extreme conditions, where exposure to saltwater and high pressures demands superior corrosion resistance and durability.
Safety and Stability: In high-risk environments such as oil refineries and pipelines, springs contribute to essential safety mechanisms such as pressure relief valves, emergency shutoff systems, and vibration-dampening equipment. These systems prevent catastrophic failures that result in environmental hazards.

We offer a wide selection of springs suitable for the varying demands of oil & gas applications, including tension springs, torsion springs, and gas springs.

Pressings for Oil & Gas Applications

Precision-engineered pressings provide structural support, help reinforce critical systems and ensure the reliability of heavy-duty machinery.

Structural Integrity: Pressings are commonly used in the construction of drilling equipment, pipeline assemblies, and pressure vessels. Their precise fabrication ensures seamless integration into complex mechanical systems, reinforcing structural stability under extreme stress.
Equipment Housing and Protection: In oilfield machinery, pressings form protective enclosures for sensitive components, shielding them from harsh environmental factors such as heat, moisture, and chemical exposure. Having robust housings helps extend equipment lifespan, meaning fewer replacement parts.
High-Temperature and Corrosion Resistance: Due to the challenging conditions in oil and gas environments, our pressings are manufactured from high-performance alloys and corrosion-resistant materials. This ensures they can withstand extreme temperatures, high pressures, and aggressive chemicals without degradation.

We offer a wide range of bespoke pressings and stampings for oil & gas purposes, from small batch prototypes to high-volume orders. Our catalogue includes detailed specifications on materials, thicknesses, and tooling options. To ensure the best possible result, we utilise processes from laser cutting and welding to heat treatment and barrelling in our creation of metal pressings.

Frequently asked questions

What Springs and Pressings Are Used in the Oil and Gas Industry?

Many of the springs we manufacture are used in the oil and gas sector, here are just a few key examples:

Compression Springs: Valve actuation systems and assemblies, drilling equipment, and pressure regulators all use compression springs. They also are found in the manipulation and regulation of pressure in oil rigs, making them a vital component for this industry.
Tension Springs: Tension springs, otherwise known as extension springs, are found in safety devices on door mechanisms, within the blow-out preventers of drilling equipment, and in gas pumping equipment.
Torsion Springs: Torsion springs are also found in valve actuators, drilling systems, in addition to sealing systems and within the mechanisms of gas turbines.
Gas Springs: Using nitrogen gas and oil, gas springs store energy that is crucial for compression and damping – which is essential for many uses like downhole tools, pipeline valves, and drilling rigs.
Other Spring Types: Springs are very versatile, meaning many other spring types such as garter springs, and wave springs, also find uses in the oil and gas industry.
Pressings: Metal pressings are used in various ways, especially when they’re made from corrosion-resistant materials; an integral requirement for this demanding industry. Areas such as drilling equipment, pipeline assemblies, pressure vessels, and offshore structures often use pressings.

What Spring Materials Are Used in the Oil and Gas Industry?

What Design Considerations Are There for Ordering Springs for Oil & Gas Applications?

There are several factors to consider when ordering springs for this industry, to ensure your springs last long, avoid failure, and are as safe as possible.

Material & Environment Compatibility

Select corrosion and heat-resistant alloys like Inconel or stainless steel to withstand saltwater, chemicals, and extreme temperatures.

Load & Fatigue

Design Oil & gas components are subject to dynamic loads and cyclic stresses. When determining your order, think about the safety factor and fatigue resistance.

Dimensions & Mounting Constraints

Consider wire and coil diameters, length, pitch, spring index, and free vs solid height

End Configuration & Tolerances

Certain end types might be best suited for this industry for better stability and consistent force distribution.

Surface Treatments

Surface treatments can often have an impact on the durability of a spring, and our team will be able to guide you through the best option based on your specific application.

Our experts can help you navigate these considerations, as we’ve worked with many businesses in the oil and gas sector previously.
