Compression Cylinder: Precision Actuation for BOP Ram Operation
The BOP Actuation Challenge
Inadequate cylinder performance risks:
⚠️ Delayed ram closure in well control emergencies
⚠️ Seal failure under high wellbore pressure
⚠️ Fluid leakage causing hydraulic system inefficiency
⚠️ Reduced reliability in critical shut-in scenarios
Our Compression Cylinder Delivers:
✅ Immediate response for reliable BOP ram closure
✅ Zero-leak performance under maximum rated pressure
✅ Corrosion-resistant construction for extended service life
✅ Full compliance with API 16A well control standards
