BOP Cup Testers for Oil Field Products by Kriloha Ltd

Blowout Preventers (BOPs) are critical safety components in oilfield drilling operations. Ensuring their functionality through rigorous testing is not just a precaution—it’s a necessity. At Kriloha Ltd, we provide high-performance BOP Cup Testers as part of our extensive line of oilfield products, designed to uphold safety, precision, and efficiency in demanding drilling environments.

In this blog, we’ll explore the features, applications, and benefits of BOP Cup Testers and their synergy with essential components like chevron seals, industrial seals, chevron packing, and vee packing seals.

What is a BOP Cup Tester?

A BOP Cup Tester is a specialized tool used to pressure test the ram or annular blowout preventer (BOP) by sealing against the internal diameter of the BOP bore. This is essential to ensure the integrity and performance of BOP systems before and during drilling operations.

BOP Cup Testers are equipped with a durable rubber cup and robust mandrel body to seal effectively and withstand extreme pressure.

Features of Kriloha’s BOP Cup Testers

  • High-pressure resistance for annular and ram-type BOPs

  • Heavy-duty elastomer cups that form a secure seal

  • Customizable sizes for different BOP specifications

  • Corrosion-resistant materials for long-term usage

  • Easy handling and installation for operational efficiency

Importance in Oilfield Operations

Testing BOPs is a mandatory operation in drilling to prevent catastrophic blowouts. BOP Cup Testers ensure:

  • Reliable pressure integrity before drilling commences

  • Compliance with international safety standards

  • Enhanced operational safety

  • Prevention of unexpected equipment failure

As a core part of oilfield products, these testers significantly contribute to a safe and efficient drilling environment.

Elastomer Excellence in Cup Testers

The effectiveness of a BOP Cup Tester largely depends on the quality of the elastomer used. Kriloha Ltd uses special elastomers also found in our sealing products, including:

  • Chevron seals

  • Chevron packing

  • Vee packing seals

  • Industrial seals

Elastomer Properties:

  • Resistance to oil-based and water-based drilling fluids

  • High tensile strength

  • Excellent memory and flexibility

  • Withstand high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) conditions

Integration with Chevron Seals & Vee Packing

BOP Cup Testers don’t function in isolation. They work alongside critical sealing systems:

1. Chevron Seals

  • Also known as chevron packing, these V-shaped rings provide reliable pressure sealing under dynamic conditions.

  • Used extensively in BOP actuators to maintain seal integrity under pressure cycles.

2. Vee Packing Seals

  • Layered sealing elements that are ideal for high-pressure BOP valves and cylinders.

  • Ensure minimal leakage and optimum sealing performance.

3. Industrial Seals

  • From O-rings to custom-shaped gaskets, our industrial seals are essential in every part of the BOP assembly, including the Cup Tester mandrel seals.
