Bodycote, UK, has announced that their coating solutions have been approved by Cameron Schlumberger. The approval recognizes Bodycote\u2019s Knowsley facility as a center of excellence for providing thermal coatings and K-Tech ceramic coating solutions to oil & gas and industrial gas turbines.<\/p>\n
Bodycote has recently invested in a new process line to service the gates and seat markets. In the oilfield, gate valves are constantly subjected to high pressures and hostile environmental conditions. To maintain a tight seal when open or closed, the valve stems, seats, and gates must be protected from the elements at all times. Bodycote\u2019s surface technology solutions provide sealing properties and superior resistance to hostile operating conditions causing corrosion, galling, and wear.<\/p>\n
Bodycote senior vice president of technical services and surface technology, Phillippe Prince, commented: \u201cWe are delighted to be awarded with this prestigious supplier approval and look forward to supporting Cameron in surface coating solutions and specialist processes.\u201d<\/p>\n

By continuously advancing coatings technologies, Bodycote supports customers to improve their environmental performance, decrease energy consumption, extend component life, improve productivity, minimize downtime, reduce operating costs and produce high-quality components.<\/p>\n
