All Smith Services stripper elements are manufactured to strict material specifications and a proprietary compound formulation. Every batch of rubber is subject to multiple QA tests and verification prior to molding. The stripper elements are molded under conditions of controlled and documented load weight, temperature, cavity pressure and cure time. Once elements are molded, documentation for the entire batch of stripper elements is reviewed by an independent rubber lab, completing the QA process. Smith Services builds quality and reliability into each stripper element so that "when you are under pressure you are in control.”Stripper elements are passive seals that maintain a constant barrier between the atmosphere and wellbore. The inner diameter of stripper rubbers should always be smaller than the objects (e.g. drill pipe, tool joints) passing through to ensure sealing with zero wellbore pressure. The outer geometry of the passive seal creates higher sealing pressure as wellbore pressure increases.
