Evening everybody,

Could somebody please help me understand the differences between Carbide and Noncarbide wear parts? Yeah, I know, Carbides a whole lot more expensive and probably lasts much longer, but I´d like to know the actual difference in pumping performance.             

tress simple;

when they both are new there is no differense

Non-carbide parts are good for new operators to learn how to replace wear rings and plates.But the advantage is that when wear parts are changed more often,the rock valve shaft o-rings should be changed therefore prolonging the life of the shaft.
