Liner material depends on the drilling fluid, duty and the pump's original manual. Chrome, ceramic and zirconia are catalogue categories, not a ranked performance claim. Confirm bore, material and edition before ordering. This page does not publish service-life hours or pressure ratings.
What a mud pump liner does
The liner is the replaceable bore in the fluid end where the piston travels. Catalogue records identify liner type and, when present, material wording. They do not confirm that a listed liner fits a specific pump edition or will last a stated number of hours.
Comparison table
| Liner type | What it is | What to check before ordering | Where to confirm | |---|---|---|---| | Chrome (including chrome-plated or electroplated listings) | A liner recorded in the catalogue, often under general cylinder-liner entries, with chrome or electroplated wording when that field is present. | Full pump model and suffix, bore, the part number as printed, and the manual edition. | [Cylinder liner catalogue](/en/parts/type/cylinder-liner/) and the original pump manual. | | Ceramic | A liner recorded as ceramic in the catalogue. This site has more than one ceramic type heading, so use the heading on the record itself. | The same identifiers as above, plus the exact material wording on the part record and, if available, a photograph of the old liner or nameplate. | [Ceramic cylinder liner](/en/parts/type/ceramic-cylinder-liner/) and [Cylinder liner, ceramic](/en/parts/type/cylinder-liner-ceramic/). | | Zirconia | A material name sometimes used for ceramic-family liners. This site does not currently have a separate zirconia type hub. | Confirm the exact material wording on the part record and in the original manual. Do not assume zirconia and ceramic are interchangeable. | The relevant part page and the original manual. |
No service-life, pressure-rating or price column is included here, because this site does not have an engineering source for those figures on this page.
How to use the catalogue
- Identify the pump from the nameplate, including any suffix or pressure rating stamped on the equipment.
- Open the matching pump page or search the [parts catalogue](/en/parts/).
- Compare the liner record's material wording, bore and part number with the manual for that edition.
- Send the model, printed part number and a photo of the old part with the enquiry. Fitment and availability are confirmed case by case.
The English-language catalogue currently lists 472 pump records. That figure is a catalogue count, not a stock quantity or a claim that every model is available to ship.
FAQ
Which liner material should I choose?
Choose only after checking the drilling fluid, duty and the original manual for your pump model and edition. This page does not rank chrome, ceramic or zirconia by life or pressure, and it does not publish service-life hours.
Are ceramic and zirconia liners interchangeable?
No. Do not assume they are the same. Confirm the exact material wording on the catalogue record and in the original manual. This site does not have a separate zirconia type hub.
Where can I browse liner records on this site?
Start with the [cylinder liner catalogue](/en/parts/type/cylinder-liner/). Ceramic listings also appear under [ceramic cylinder liner](/en/parts/type/ceramic-cylinder-liner/) and [cylinder liner, ceramic](/en/parts/type/cylinder-liner-ceramic/). A catalogue record is still not confirmed fitment.
