Derriok Cyclone Elbow

The Derriok cyclone elbow is mainly used for material separation in mineral processing. Its structure consists of a cylindrical part and a conical part, which realizes the separation of light and heavy materials through the principle of centrifugal sedimentation.

The Derriok 6431-00 Urethane Elbow is a specialized 180-degree pipe fitting designed for connecting hydrocyclones in oilfield solids control systems. This heavy-duty elbow features a 4-inch diameter with smooth interior walls and reinforced sides, making it ideal for high-abrasion drilling mud applications.

Construction

1. One-piece molded urethane construction with no seams or weak points

2. Smooth interior surface minimizes turbulence and abrasion from drilling mud

3. Reinforced sidewalls provide structural integrity under pressure

4. Symmetrical design allows installation in any orientation

5. Thick urethane layer provides superior protection against erosive drilling fluids

Applications

The 6431-00 Urethane Elbow serves as a critical connection point in solids control systems

1. Desilter Systems: Connects 4-inch hydrocyclones in Derriok's desilter units

2. Multi-stage Separation: Used in series-connected cyclone banks for enhanced solids removal

3. Mud Recycling Systems: Routes mud from cyclone outlets back to shakers or other processing equipment

4. Drilling Rigs: Integral component in the solids control manifold system

Advantages

1. Superior Abrasion Resistance: Urethane material outlasts steel elbows by 3-5 times in abrasive mud applications

2. Vibration Dampening: Reduces system vibrations, improving overall stability and equipment life

3. Corrosion Immunity: Non-reactive to acidic drilling fluids

4. Easy Installation: Lightweight design allows for quick replacement with standard tools

5. Cost Efficiency: Lowers maintenance costs through extended service intervals and reduced downtime

The Derriok 6431-00 Urethane Elbow is an essential component for maintaining efficient solids control in drilling operations. Its 180-degree design and rugged urethane construction make it ideal for reversing mud flow in hydrocyclone systems while resisting the abrasive effects of drilling fluids. By providing a reliable, long-lasting connection between components, it helps improve overall system performance and reduce maintenance costs in demanding oilfield environments.
