How the Oil & Gas Industry Benefits from Centrifugal Casting Technology

Key Takeaways

• Centrifugal castings produce high-strength, fine-grained components for oil and gas applications.
• Components like valves, cages, and wear rings benefit from superior durability and precision.
• The process minimizes impurities and enhances corrosion and wear resistance
• Delta Centrifugal® spins high-performance alloys for sour service and abrasive environments.
• In-house QA, machining, and API-certified processes ensure consistent, industry-grade reliability.

In oil and gas operations, equipment failure isn’t just costly—it can be catastrophic. Valves, sleeves, pumps, and other critical components must endure high pressures, corrosive substances, and extreme temperatures. That’s where centrifugal casting technology makes a difference.

Delta Centrifugal® delivers high-performance components engineered for the oil and gas industry’s most punishing environments. Our centrifugally cast parts offer a distinct advantage over static or sand castings in both mechanical integrity and corrosion resistance.  Common specifications are ASTM A743, ASME SA351, ASME SA487, ASTM A351, ASME SA494, ASTM A747 & others

Strength Where It Counts

Centrifugal casting forces molten metal outward under extreme rotational pressure, producing a dense, fine-grained structure with minimal impurities. This results in superior tensile strength and durability—ideal for components like downhole tools and high-pressure pump housings that must perform under constant stress.

Corrosion and Wear Resistance

Oil and gas systems often transport abrasive media and corrosive fluids, especially in offshore and sour service applications. Our process creates uniform walls with excellent metallurgical integrity, reducing the likelihood of pitting, cracking, or early wear. We cast in a wide range of high-alloy and corrosion-resistant materials tailored for these environments.

Precision and Repeatability

Our in-house capabilities include horizontal centrifugal casting, heat treatment, machining, and rigorous testing. Combined with industry certifications including ISO 9001, API Q1, and API 6A and 6D licensing, Delta Centrifugal® ensures consistent quality from start to finish.

Built for Harsh Conditions

From refinery components to subsea hardware, our castings are trusted in upstream, midstream, and downstream applications. Delta’s quality assurance process is designed to exceed industry expectations—because failure is not an option.
